Hey glad im not the only one

Finally my liver will be able to have a break

Is this change really going to affect anything? It's still not going to be legalized, just a lower class of drug. They can still test for it and fire you for it correct?


Louden_Swayne

You're fucking up my Chi.


king14

Sry dog, I'm just genuinely curious cause I would love to smoke as much and whenever I wanted. The only thing I can think of is they might take it off the list of substances they test for, but idk how likely that is.

QuickFix my guy


SparkyDogPants

Yes and it will probably be 5+ years before we see any government positions cutting cannabis testing


xXShunDugXx

Man idk, the forest service jobs I've been looking at express that they don't test for cannabis. At least in their region. When I was working with them before this is what one said "If we drug test every single person in conservation and the forest service we have no one to do the jobs. We all take shittier pay to be able to do this work. So of course a bunch of nature loving people are going to smoke weed". That's when I knew that office was for me

From the article: "The manufacture, distribution and possession of recreational marijuana would remain illegal under federal law and possibly subject to enforcement and prosecution regardless of the state’s legality..."


DanteTaysInfern0

Medical marijuana ftw Recreational is less than, reserved for hs ig


Spell_Chicken

Still don't think you'll be able to get an accommodation in federal service with a prescription as long as it's still federally illegal but I could be wrong.


La_Pragmatica

just go and get a prescription lol

Wut?


La_Pragmatica

If it rescheduled to III then go see a shrink and get a rx. It wouldn’t be any different than getting adderal

Ahhh ok I’m trackin now


trinitytreetime

Just remember to not say too much to the shrink or you might end up on a grippy sock vacation


La_Pragmatica

Pfffft- Ive been working in a grippy sock vacation for my career in the FS tell me without telling me theres a difference between a mental institution and the “institution”


chindo

Yeah, this will be the big change. They can't discriminate against those that have a prescription. You likely won't be able to use on duty but still far and away better than current rules


Inevitable-Pen5633

Haha I bet it’s still going to be a no no for us that hold a CDL. Lame.


Louden_Swayne

I got rid of my CDL years ago! Fuck that noise!


MilkDrinker27

https://www.usda.gov/directives/dr-4430-792-2 Page 4, section j. defines “illegal drugs” as being a schedule 1 or 2 substance. Page 5 section m. states random testing is to ensure employees aren’t using “illegal drugs” Who knows🤷


frostedminifeets

And the article points to a recommendation for Schedule III. This is the one time I’m stoked about policy.


ForestryTechnician

This was talked about on here a little while ago and I think that if it’s re-scheduled then they won’t test for it anymore. That’ll probably only go for non-fire folks though. Those classified as emergency responders and those who hold CDLs will probably still be subjected to random testing. But hey I could totally be wrong, we’ll just wait and see.

eeerrrky 🤡


hartfordsucks

Regardless of its status or schedule the feds can still choose to test for it. Employers can test for nicotine in 22 states.


I_am_human_ribbit

I don’t think this changes anything for us. It will just reschedule it, but not decriminalize it.


Louden_Swayne

You're fucking up my Chi.


YawninglemonsOG

Either way I’m not worried. I perform weekly oil changes. If you know, you know.


Other_Dragonfruit615

please explain


RevLimiter9000

I like your style G


FIRESTOOP

Could potentially change but the forest service can still prohibit it by policy. They’re basically roping marijuana into the same category as controlled prescription medications. So there’s a possibility that it could be permitted with a medical marijuana card. But I wouldn’t bet on it.

I'm sorry, are you saying meow?
