Cannabis shouldn't be the big deal that it often is, but that's just the reality people need to accept when making personal decisions regarding its consumption. Seems to me there are two possibilities here:
Your wife is incredibly foolish.
Your wife doesn't really want to get a job.
Yep. Personally I don't care either way about using MJ as long as someone is responsible about it. This smacks of poor judgment whether it shows up in the test or not. Guess who's fault that is?
Yep. The "it's still illegal under federal law" I've seen a lot on job boards about drug tests from employers here. The potheads like to throw out the "but alcohol kills more people than weed" as a way to justify that it's OK to come to my workplace and drive high on a forklift because weed is legal.

Do people generally think it's cool to drive a forklift while drunk?
And this coming from someone (me) who uses legal cannabis regularly, so I'm looking from the inside here.
The federal law comment was from employers in response to people who think that because pot is legal in WA that they should be hired without a drug test... or a drug test that doesn't include pot. That's all I was saying.
As for driving forklifts under the influence... I dunno... but I've seen plenty of potheads say it's OK to drive high (mostly on social media after a DUI death) because "pot intoxication isn't the same as alcohol intoxication."
Their words not mine. Obviously not every pothead thinks like this and if you are one to stay off the road and out of the workplace while high... good for you.
Get some Golden Seal Tee at an organic store and push tons of it, even in the car on the way to the screen.
I ingested something much worser and how I passed that screen was nothing short of a miracle.
Thanks for the heads up. By the way, this is your Boss, and your position has been eliminated. You can pick up your belongings tomorrow and your last check on Friday.
Claim a False-positive has ocurred due to ingesting ibuprofen and request a retest.
Ibuprofen and naproxen (Advil/Motrin and Aleve) are two very common over the counter anti-inflammatory pain medications. If you’ve taken either of these, your urine screen may test positive for barbiturates, THC (cannabinoid), and PCP.
If she moves on to celebrate with China White say she ate a poppy seed bagel with a shmear for lunch.
well believe me I thought the same thing im kinda pissed she did that but whatever. im just seeing if any1 did a 1 time use and it doesnt really show in your body.
from what people have said it takes multiple use in order for it to show
You did not say when she ingested the brownie. I'm guessing it was this weekend?
I don't use, but I have heard that drinking a ton of water (including a ton on the day of the test) can dilute it enough that it won't show up if you aren't a regular user and some time has passed since your last use.
She'll fail. I've heard of people smuggling in a container of clean pee in their underwear to a urine test and passing. Unless they need to watch you pee, which I doubt for an employer drug test, I'd guess it would work.

Doubt the pee in the hidden container will work at all. Any employer that gives 2 flips about drug tests isn't gonna let that one slide.
Every test I've ever been to (both employer given on site and those taken at local medical facilities) either had someone watching me or they had someone in close proximity with the door open. The whole "don't flush the toilet" routine was standard... and all of them checked the temperature of the urine immediately.
Yes, as an HR Manager I concur including the term "shmear" will validate her excuse.
Free Pass- Next!
That confirms it, we are all in agreement on C-D. I suggest the OP print-out this entire thread and fax it to HR along with his wife's updated resume adding that she has experience in special occasion culinary desserts.
This is what is so great about C-D. Someone posts a problem, and we as a group go to work on it immediately and come up with a time tested and easy solution. Just think, without C-D, the OP would have simply yelled at his wife and told her to apply for job elsewhere. But no, C-D pulled together and solved this.
I'm going to celebrate this happy event right now with a shmear.
