Found a new job that was just perfect, and it had a drug test. Recruiter repeatedly told me it was only four panel, because it isn't a federal job and Marijuana is legal here.

Put in notice and take the test because other than thc my system is clean. Get a call back today that they ordered a five panel test, and can't get a solid answer if it was the wrong order or if I don't get the job.

Damn dude. If youre in good with your current place say just kidding about the notice and keep working.

And this is a great life lesson. You did good with putting in the notice, Im guessing 2 weeks, but where you messed up was not having a job 100% confirmed good to go heres your start date already set before putting in the notice.

Lol. You do realize that marijuana is still federally illegal so potential employers have impunity to test you for marijuana, correct?

If I heard there was a drug test and knew I (likely) had THC in my system, Id have just declined to go further.

I have no problem dropping use, as I don't even use it heavily to begin with, but it's legitimately helpful and legal.

Employers excluding thc is very common here.

Hopefully they say it was a mess up and re-order the right test. Or hopefully you still pass it.

Drug tests are dumb tbh, unless theyre testing whether youre currently on the drug while at work. Akin to a breathalyzer if you suspect someone is drunk.

Anyone saying don't do drugs is either flaming or close minded.

It is insane that THC is illegal.
It really is, and sadly Biden isn't likely to fix it

Oregon might be legalizing Psilocybin though so that's cool

You are not required to put in two weeks, regardless of where you work. I get that you were trying to be a nice guy, but it's very rare your employer will reciprocate.

Even if marijuana were 100% legal, employers still reserve the right to turn you away if its detected in your system. Im not a heavy user and its beneficial are not going to help you when you get popped. That being said, hopefully you still have a job.

I have no problem with employers testing for it, the problem is I was explicitly told they don't. Not even in response to a question either, the recruiter said as much before I even brought it up

If theres a drug test involved its just safer to assume theyre looking for it. Its better to be wrong and get the job, than to be wrong and have no job. Live and learn...

It being legalized is net positive. It's by far the least dangerous recreational drug, and legalization makes it a lot safer to buy because you know the source is good. It also is extremely good in helping with anxiety disorders.

Well, while Ill agree the recruiter shouldnt have told you they werent testing for it, I still say you should have erred on the side of caution. We can sit here and discuss legality, ethics, luck, etc. all night, but at the end of the day smoking pot cost you an opportunity.
