    If I test positive for marijuana should I stop doing coke too? Just kidding. Thanks for sharing. For future applications unless your drug test is going to show drug use that answer should be "never, not once". Answering truthful there isn't going to get you better pay, benefits, or seniority. "I keep trying and just can't find a job. No companies are hiring." If I only had a dollar for every time I heard that. I'm not in the trucking industry but the number of complete morons that apply at my employer is staggering. Don't come in to interview looking like you are strung out. Don't call and ask if we drug test. Wtf. One month is surefire to pass a piss test. Three months is enough for a follicle test. You should get your info from here How to Get Weed Out of Your System instead of us morons though.

    Not in this forum.

    In fact, if you work for the federal government, it may be the only way to cope. :)

    We need to start feeding them ritalin during their morning coffee break.
    Perk them up a bit, higher productivity, an induced "Git Er Dun" attitude, a brighter outlook on the day ahead and a few will probably loose a little weight in the process.

    It's when the work load runs out and they actually have nothing to do, that's when the anxiety sets in and they start chewing on their tongues to ease the boredom until they taste blood and start lashing out at one another.

    Because I'd have to stop every 20 miles, I bypass coffee when I'm on the road. Instead I wake up with 4 caffeine pills and a Pepsi. That pegs my eyes open and I'm ready to drive for 800 miles within 5 minutes of waking up.

    Some Canadian truck companies require urine tests. Not sure if CBD would be an automatic fail?

    CBD is not "supposed" to show up in urine test. But much of what people buy is low quality. Drivers have been fired for testing positive after using CBD.

    If you buy and use CBD oils, you should send a sample off to a third party lab so they can determine that your product is in fact 0.03% or less as required by FDA. You can keep this evidence as a defense against future prosecution if it should come up.

    If you could get Medical Insurance involved in co-paying those brands regularly tested to prove that THC is less than 0.03% then you will find by human nature people will deliberately go buy products that have much more than that in THC. They always want the good stuff. Even if it is a bare covering of a legal kind of clothing so to speak. They will not be paying a copay for approved known low THC brands at all. They would get CBD on their own that has THC in it.

    Until there is a way to enforce that at the root cause, people will naturally migrate towards products that have the active THC in it and feel pretty good. If not better than just feeling good.
