Medical marijuana is legal in Ohio, and you can get your medical card today to gain access to dispensaries. Marijuana is a natural alternative medicine that can help with a myriad of symptoms and medical conditions.
Hundreds of thousands of Ohio residents already have their medical card and are using cannabis to treat their qualifying conditions. If you think cannabis could improve your quality of life, there is a good chance you qualify for your medical card!
Unfortunately, the State of Ohio does not provide protection to medical marijuana card holders from drug testing in the workplace. Employers can decide whether they want to recognize an employee’s medical card as an exemption from the process.
Some companies require mandatory drug testing, and even if you have your medical card, you can still be let go for testing positive. It is really up to the discretion of the company, so it’s very important that you ask your employer about their policies.
No matter what, it’s important to be aware of how long marijuana can stay in your system for personal knowledge. Keep in mind that the type of drug test used, among other factors, plays a huge role in how long the THC will show up in your system.
Types of Drug Tests
There are four main types of drug tests, but some are used more often than others. The four main types of drug tests for THC are urine, blood, hair, and saliva. Some of the factors that can influence how long a drug stays in your system are:
Body mass
Frequency of drug use
Type of drug used
Amount of drug used
How much you eat
Hydration levels
Gender/body weight
Urine tests are by far the most frequently used drug tests for employment. They are easy, quick, cheap, and relatively non-invasive.
The best way to pass a urine test on short notice is to flush your system. Basically, increase your fluid intake and drink as much water as possible. This will dilute the concentration of the drug in your system.
Saliva tests are not as commonly used due to their narrow detection window. These tests can only pick up THC if you have smoked within 72 hours of the test. They also come up with false positives more often than some of the other tests.
Blood tests are good indicators of recent drug use, detecting THC for up to 48 hours after last use. They are a popular choice for law enforcement, because if you test positive for THC on a blood sample, it is likely that you are currently intoxicated.
These tests are expensive to administer and invasive, making them a less than popular option for employee drug testing.
Hair tests are only used about 10% of the time in an employment setting. Hair tests have the largest detection window and can detect THC for up to 90 days after last use. That’s right…three months!
