I think it's weird that Im 41 years old, have been employed my whole adult life and have never once been drug tested.

And I wonder... Is this because Im a little white woman? Is this part of my white privilege?
Feel free to chime in with your race and if you've ever been drug tested. Let's compare notes.

@SW-User Sounds like the ring lead in a women's jail. Is her name "Big Rhonda"?

@SW-User gross. Every time I have taken a ua and stared at the person while they were staring at me, they would say something like, "You're really making me uncomfortable" to which I would rely, " Yeah same bto, your making me uncomfortable staring at my junk like that". Then one time this guy says, "Look this isn't easy on either of us, let's just get through this and go home". I was like whoa! Whoa whoa whoa! Pump the brakes home boy!

@HoeBag large Marge, 😂

I'm white, under the age of 30, random drug tested and fired for failing random drug test.

@PoizonApple Yeah I was discriminated against, how dare they! I was innocent! I was set up! Isn't that what all guilty people say? 😂
PoizonApple · 41-45, F
@SW-User yes indeed! If it means anything if they had drug tested me at certain times id be fired too

It's not usual in the UK but working in the drugs industry, I've had occasional drugs-screening tests.

Don't worry, they s-t-r-e-t-c-h

....or not, as the case may be 🤭🤣🤣

@Lacemaker Can I just trade you booty pics for rubbers? Lol
Lacemaker · 46-50, F
@zerofuks2give
🤣🤣🤣

It's ok 👍🏻
I'm good at guessing, especially when I saw you sealing that hole ☺️
zerofuks2give · 41-45, M
I am a white American and I’ve been drug tested for every job I’ve ever had and I’ve also been randomly drug tested a couple of times
but it’s a reality already 😿 @zerofuks2give

@deathfairy I sleep better at night knowing that hot ass is real
PoizonApple · 41-45, F
Get a room you two
DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F
no, we don't work in fast food😅
Sorry to pop your white privilege bubble but I never had to either and I’m part Chilean 🤷‍♀️
PoizonApple · 41-45, F
@SweetNSassy good! Im glad about that
I've been tested when I was hired but have never been chosen for one of the random tests afterwards. I think they know I'm boring and it'd be a waste of time.
SW-User
I don't think every job drug tests. That's been my experience.
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
It’s because you were innocent till proven guilty
SW-User
I think it has more to do with the kind of job you work rather than race. Jobs that require drug testing tend to be more menial and low-skilled. They tend to have fewer prerequisites and large application pools.

I've never had a drug test, but I have had a background check when I had a job that involved working with children.
SW-User
In the UK that would just be normal

My employer gave up on drug tests. Even though weed in this state means prison most can't pass any drug screening. Employees who quit, die or retire can't be replaced.
theAlchemist · 61-69, M
Non white, long hair. Been drug tested after being hired, but never random drug tested. I live in an American red state.
PoizonApple · 41-45, F
@theAlchemist surprised!
wildbill83 · 41-45, M
worked for a company that had mandatory testing every month; requirement for TS/SCI clearance
Honky that's been tested numerous times. Has more to do with line of work and corporate insurance and workers comp.
GJOFJ3 · 61-69, M
Probably has more to do with the companies you work for
I’m an old white guy and have had to get drug tested many times
Confined · 56-60, M
Been tested for every job, and random tested from time to time.
JoeyFoxx · 56-60, M
I’m 53, white and I have been drug tested at least 3 times.
OnePatheticClown · 51-55, M
Non white, been drug tested only once when applying for a job.
PoizonApple · 41-45, F
@OnePatheticClown that's comforting. Are you American?
DrWatson · 70-79, M
I am white, male and 69. I have never been drug tested. But my employer does not do that. The women and minorities who work here would not be drug tested by my employer either.
DragonFruit · 70-79, M
I have been drug tested several times.
I’m multi-racial, but didn’t know that until a couple of years ago via a DNA test (I thought I was white....which does account for over 80% of my ancestry).
TexChik · F
Oh please . Don’t start that white privilege crap .
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
I am a white Canadian woman and never been drug tested.
SW-User
I've never been drug tested.
Actually that isnt true 🤔

I was when I was receiving psychiatric treatment for problems caused by drugs.

That being said, I'm not American and that sort of thing isn't as common here
empanadas · 31-35, M
You are probably just lucky
PoizonApple · 41-45, F
@empanadas maybe so
