I've always hated that. Its an herb! The government decided to classify it as a drug only a handful of decades ago, though it was legal for thousands of years. The government decided to make it illegal, as a racist move believe it or not. Heres a snippit of what I found...
Harry Anslinger took the scientifically unsupported idea of marijuana as a violence-inducing drug, connected it to black and Hispanic people, and created a perfect package of terror to sell to the American media and public. By emphasizing the Spanish word marihuana instead of cannabis, he created a strong association between the drug and the newly arrived Mexican immigrants who helped popularize it in the States. He also created a narrative around the idea that cannabis made black people forget their place in society. He pushed the idea that jazz was evil music created by people under the influence of marijuana.
But these racist ideas didn't just influence the media's portrayal or the public's perception of the drug, the discrimination they encouraged was evident in real numbers. In the first full year after the Marihuana Tax Act was passed, black people were about three times more likely to be arrested for violating narcotic drug laws than whites. And Mexicans were nearly nine times more likely to be arrested for the same charge.
By 1952, the Boggs Act was passed. This made sentencing for drug convictions mandatory. A first offense for possession could land you two to five years in prison and a fine up to $2,000. Through the 1960s and 70s, weed smoking took on a new perception through the counterculture movement. Young white people resisted mainstream culture and powerful institutions. This was the era of hippies, beatniks, and flower power. But despite all the peace and love, laws continued to emphasize the severity of the drug. The Controlled Substances Act of 1970 passed under President Nixon.
- America's public enemy number one.
- Repealed the Marihuana Tax Act and instead made cannabis a schedule I drug. The most serious class. Schedule I drugs are considered to have a high potential for abuse and addiction. With no medical use. Other examples of Schedule I drugs are heroin, LSD, and ecstasy. Classifying cannabis as a schedule I drug has been highly debated since then.
- Marijuana is not a schedule I any more than a hedgehog is an apex predator.

I know you prolly dont Fash, but think on this.... what if you had loved ones, be they family or friends, and they were honest good people, but they had stresses in their life, and pot was the cure, and they liked that vs a man made drug that has been known to make people go on killing sprees. Would you still want them to go to jail for toking, or should they be allowed to puff on some pot without worry of going to jail?

I care for both legalization and decrimnalization. I suffer from insomnia and inflammation. Both of which I ja e been prescribed prescription drugs...and both ha e horrible side effect. The insomnia pills worked but they are addicting and dangerous. There are many reports of sleepwalking and not remembering the next day...such incidents include driving. It's dangerous!
I dont take prescription drugs for that anymore, just cannabis. It helps me sleep and subsides the pain. With zero side effects or addiction.
I should have a right to decide what I choose to put into my body without having to worry I will be jailed or have my kid taken away from me.
If anything, those prescription drugs should be illegal.

I never toke and go to work. And I dont use it to "get high". I dont like being high...but the relaxation of it is amazing for my inflammation.
It will take them years to be able to screen for impairment. It's just something that simply wont work right now.

At CP, if there is a derailment or on track collision, the coductor and the engineer are sent immediately for pee testing. I am not sure what they screen for besides pot.

I've always hated work drug testing for pot, cause pot stays in your system (testing wise) for a couple weeks at least. You're fine to smoke at night and go to work the next day, similar to alcohol, though too much alcohol the night before can still affect you the next day, unlike pot, which you will just have a good night rest lol. The point is, the company pays for what you do for 8 hours, not 24, what you do in your own time should be your own thing.

Thats the way it should be, accident or something get a test. But the test would have to fall in line accordingly with the time that you were at work, not the day before if its something that cant be felt. I agree with Berry too, pills count too.

As long as you are not impaired, you are safe. If you are impaired, you are pulled out of service and forced to attend residential treatment. Don't ask me how I know this. :icon_wink:

I am familiar with Canadian (and US rules also, although to a lesser extent), regarding workplace drink/drug testing, and how it works...
The US system is a Federally mandated system in place there that is a requirement for most transportation workers there, which consists of random tests, as well as testing after an incident. This is often not optional, and is mandated not by the employer, but by Federal US requirements. Nonetheless, it is common in the US to see optional (not required by law) testing done by the employer, either in the form of random, or an after incident test.
I bring the US system up only because their system applies also to certain transportation workers that enter their nation. Trucking is a good example of this requirement... Canadian truckers are subject to the same US drug testing requirements, if they cross the border. There are no mandatory drug testing requirements if one stays in Canada.
I had to explain this, because the rules can change depending on whether or not you will enter the US.
Back to Canada... Things are different here. I will first answer your question, as to 'what do they test for in piss test?' More than likely it will be for all the common drugs: Weed, Meth, Coke, Opiates, Benzo's/Barbiturates, or any of their chemical brothers and sisters... This would fall in line with US testing.
Remember that Canada is different though... Testing is NOT mandatory here, and there are no Federal guidelines with regards to testing standards, as mandatory testing is not required in Canada. However, more than likely CN & CP would test to US standards, which would include all of the main players mentioned.
Now I'll get to the second half of my post...
Piss tests mean fuck all in Canada, essentially. You may get fired, but in a unionized workplace like CN or CP, that may be unlikely, provided you attempt to 'better yourself.' Basically the employer has a 'Duty to Accommodate.'
So, as we can see from this, true 'impairment' in Canada, on a legal ground, can still be only proven, for all intents and purposes, when considering alcohol...
In Canada, the Federal limit for criminal charges while driving drunk is 0.08, across the board. Provinces often have lower limits set at 0.05, but these are not criminal charges, and are implemented at the 'Motor Vehicle Act' level.
There's a huge fucking problem with drug testing, with respect to Canadian law... While we are fairly certain that blood/alcohol levels as tested are generally indicative of impairment levels at the time, the same does NOT apply with other drugs... First off, current testing is not able to prove impairment, even with the new testing procedures. Under Canadian law, it would be almost impossible to put forth a successful charge of impairment for weed on piss-test proof alone...
Without getting into case-law, which I like to read, it is difficult to prove that a person is high to the point of impairment. Canadian law does have a provision that allows cops to fuck your shit up with simple impairment alone, for almost any reason, but that gets tossed out in 99% of hearings if challenged.
The problem is, with weed, is that you are NOT high after three days of smoking, nor is one impaired anymore.
This creates a problem
THIS is where that old law, still in effect in Canada, but rarely utilized, can come back into effect... Driving under the influence...
In Canada, the police cannot test you unless they have formed the opinion that you are impaired, and as such if they have formed this opinion, I do not see why a DUI (sans 0.08) cannot hold up in court...
Besides the Department of Transportation and it's regulations it kind of boils down to: If you receive government contracts/money in your business, you are required to do random tests on your employees to keep those contracts. The health care industry is included in this.

South Korea joins Japan in warning citizens over smoking pot in Canada
Quote
SEOUL – South Korea has followed Japan in warning its citizens against smoking marijuana in Canada, telling them that even though the country legalized weed last week, using it there was still an offense under Seoul's own laws.
Consumption, possession or sale of illegal substances are criminal offenses under South Korea's tough drugs legislation.
Last Wednesday, Canada became the world's first major economy to fully legalize cannabis, including for recreational use, sparking celebrations as the nation embarked on the controversial policy experiment.
But South Korea's criminal laws apply both territorially and personally, officials said, meaning that its citizens would still face punishment for smoking weed even if they did so in Canada.
"South Korean individuals who use marijuana (including purchase, possession and transport) — even in regions where such acts are legal — are violating the law and will be punished accordingly," the South Korean Embassy in Canada tweeted last week.
"So please beware," it said.
Last week, the Japanese government also issued warnings that Japan's law on cannabis use may apply to its nationals even when they are abroad.

It was cultivated in South Korea until the 1970's mostly for fibres..
Japan criminalized it in 1948..
Japan, South Korea and Taiwan all have harsh penalties for sale, cultivation and simple possession of marijuana.
