It seems so hypocritical to me, that so many people are acting as if cannabis use is the worst thing someone could do as a healthcare professional. If for some reason the use of alcohol lingered in the human body for 10 plus days, there would be an ENTIRELY different attitude towards random drug screens from the vast majority of the people posting replies to this question. I rarely drink, maybe 6 times a year?? It's never been something I've enjoyed very much. Nor do I use cannabis, but personally have nothing against anyone who does, as long as they're not coming to work under the influence. However, if someone admits to using cannabis on their off days, everyone flips out!! Besides it being illegal for no legitimate logical reason by our government, which will and is changing by the way, can someone please explain why alcohol use on off days is so much better for patient's safety and health than using cannabis?? I just don't understand the reasoning behind that. Some of you would completely lose it if you could no longer partake in your nightly glass (or 2 or 3 glasses) of wine or beer for fear of losing your job.
