Drug Test at the SEC
Hey, I am working at the SEC this summer and wanted to know if they drug test. If anyone has any information, I would appreciate the feedback.

Re: Drug Test at the SEC
When I interned there last year, there was none. But I had been "in the system" from employment at other federal agencies. None of them required a drug test, but all of them required declarations and affirmations regarding drug use.

I had a friend who worked there during the semester I believe. He smoked weed everyday.

Re: Drug Test at the SEC
I worked at one of the regional offices this semester and was not drug tested. I have no idea if that's the case for the summer or at other offices.

I hear that if you smoke pot, you may or may not hit small children riding on bikes near fast food restaurants...
also, you may forget to pick up your brother from basketball practice.
you've all been warned...

Cannabis on the other hand has never resulted in a single death

Re: Drug Test at the SEC
This seems like the beginning of an even handed discussion on drug law policy which has never been debated on these boards by anonymous drug users whining about the need for reform without taking any real action to drive legislative change, or by their counterparts, self-rightous internet guardians of the current legal regime who equate the passage of a law with the moral proclamation that the acts it forbids are legitimately harmful to society.
I look forward to the respectful debate and corresponding wealth of new information that should spring forth from both sides...

Re: Drug Test at the SEC
Alcohol is the cheapest downer on the market today. My friend Anne's brother died of cirrhosis or holes in his esophagus I don't remember which due to being an alcoholic. She still starts crying when she talks about it. Cops tell me that it's always alcohol that results in fights, be it at bars or domestic battery. Cops get shot all the time when responding to angry drunks. When have cops gotten shot responding to a bunch of people smoking weed? The only scenario I can see a cop getting hurt is with dealers (who often deal harder drugs as well) or grow houses. However if marijuana was legal, none of that shit would go down.Anonymous User wrote:Don't hate, you know its truePARTY wrote:Anonymous User wrote:i'll never understand why the gov't views the use of alcohol as ok

Re: Drug Test at the SEC
alcohol v cannabis
NHTSA web site: alcohol related traffic fatalities = 43,443
CDC report, total # of alcohol related deaths = 75,766
.
.
.
deaths from cannabis = 0; not 0 this year, or 0 last year, 0 SINCE THE DAWN OF RECORDED HISTORY

Throwing out death tolls from tobacco smoke, drunk driving and liver disease makes perfect sense as an argument for making those things illegal. It makes zero sense when trying to convince somebody to make pot legal. Don't you understand that "It will kill fewer people than cigarettes!" could apply to fucking anything? You could pass a law that lets 12 year olds carry concealed guns to school and it'd kill fewer people than drunk driving.

not only will it not kill anyone but it could of also prevented some of the 50,000+ deaths in Mexico last year as a result of the drug cartels
legal cannabis = no money for cartels

Re: Drug Test at the SEC
you fail in so many ways i don't even know where to begin
the second link you posted states that 10,xxx drivers tested had marijuana in their system
no1 said that if you smoke marijuana you will never be in an accident. Those individuals could have been involved in those accidents regardless of whether or not they smoked.
...furthermore, the test itself is flawed due to the following:
it is simply a test that determines whether or not cannabis is present in their body. One could test positive on these tests for up to 90 days after they smoked.
bottom line, your sources cant conclude anything more than that those individuals had smoked within the past 3 months.
your sources cant even prove that they smoked that very day, let alone that the effects of cannabis contributed to the accident

Re: Drug Test at the SEC
So, saying there is no way to know if a person is high is supposed to help your argument? Even when a study says a person with THC and even just .04 BAC is significantly impaired at driving?
I also think the argument "the only thing bad about pot is it is illegal" is dumb. It's a drug, it has both fun and shitty side effects, just like almost every drug (some drugs have exclusively shitty side effects, none have exclusively positive).
I'm not against legalizing pot, I just don't think it will happen because there aren't enough ambitious and powerful stoners. If you really believed pot was OK, you wouldn't hide behind an annon
