Stupid mistake...advice?

I agree, I think it may be been a little better (not much), if the positive test would not have came from a pre-employment screen. I think that unless he finds some small, outlaw company, it's going to be a long time before someone trusts him enough, to hire him.

Sorry, bad choice on your part.

 

You can get "medical" cards here in CO pretty easily. From what I hear, anyhow. I've never tried obtaining one, nor had any interest in it.
All the same, this job is dictated by FMCSR - the feds - who say weed is illegal. Even with the medical marijuana card, it remains illegal - just unenforced.
All I can really say is you should've known better. I'm sure most of us have had periods of experimentation and such... and promptly got over it. We could carry on a debate forever about whether it should be illegal or not, but the simple fact of the matter is that it is. If you use it, you do so at your own risk. Campaign to change the law or whatever, but for now, it would seem you're pretty much SOL.

 

I'm not sure what is worst for you in the long run. But I don't want either on the road.

 

Unless he lies on the app... but then they find out and he gets booted for lying...

Yeah - he's screwed...

Sorry dude...

 

I think you're confusing the word "MISTAKE" with the word "ACCIDENT".

 

Okay I'll go with that.

 

Mistake: An error or fault from defective judgment, deficient knowledge, or carelessness.


Accident: An unfortunate incident that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally, typically resulting in damage or injury.

 

If it ain't POT, it's some DUI or 2...or 3.... or

 

Dac, Dac,
Who cares.
It's that question on any trucking application. Have you EVER failed or refused a drug test that's gonna screw you Forever.
