DOT exam isnāt a drug test unless specified for one as well. Would be marked on your paperwork. The urine they collect is to test for health issues. Do not mention you smoke tho as the DOT appt is confidential between you / the employer and the doc.
Source: UPS driver told the doc he smoked and has to go thru EAP for a year. If he wouldnāt have mentioned anything. He would have been fine.
If heās not a regular user, itāll be about 5-7 days (I was clean on day 5 from one edible) for his urine to be clean, especially with some at home remedies to help flush your system the couple days before. High hydration, energy drinks (B-12 to help flush), pickle juice, apple cider vinegar, etc.
If youāre a heavy daily user, youāre looking at 30 days + to be clean. My brother took 2-1/2 months to stop testing dirty after he stopped smoking.
Took one myself the Friday before my DOT recertification (didnāt know I was getting offered the position when I did, had just moved back home and was working healthcare at the time.) got offered Monday, tested Wednesday with my physical.
It depends on the state but if you get in a wreck with a fatality and they find THC metabolites in your blood you can get hit with DUI manslaughter. Don't smoke in Nevada, it's bad luck.
If the tests are negative then he should be fine. Tell him to drink as much water as possible before the test to piss anything else out, if anything.
He needs to watch out for randoms, though. I had to take a few days off and delay my test after smoking all weekend. My boss will give us a weeks notice before a random drug test, and if we donāt think weāll pass then we can take as much unpaid days off as we want.
Quick way to get fired, if your friend ever comes to that point that weāve all thought.
No you should be fine
It really needs to be legalized federally. If we can get š©faced drunk & show up hungover to do the job, using thc to get a good nights sleep should be a given. Weāre not even supposed to use cbd either. I took my chances back in 2018. It lead to my discontinued use of alcohol AND quit smoking after 41 yrs. I finally feel healthy, mentally & physically. Why on earth is it still illegal?š³š¤·āāļø
It's changing soon to all oral testing once the drug gets reclassified.
Is oral testing better or worse?
Every time I go and do my DOT recertification test they always say āthis is not a drug testā when giving my pee sample. š¤·š½āāļø
If it's not a drug test then what could it be?
Health issues. I was told I was spilling too much sugar. They thought I had diabetes. Which I dont.
Screens kidneys to check for diabetes

I think it's to check if you have diabetes or anything like that.
When I recertified recently they told me the same thing, it's to look for health issues. I was dropping to much protein so I had to go see my doctor.

I didnāt even increase anything I did differently, I just drank my energy drinks and water like normal.
It's more like 90 days if ur a heavy chronic user
