You can't "almost fail". You either do or don't. So really, you didn't fail because being close to someone doesn't mean you "catch their drugs". Even if she was smoking around you, a cheap drug test is unlikely to pick up the second hand smoke from one visit.

My friend who lived with her mother and mother's boyfriend failed a drug test because they both smoke weed around her. You can also fail if you eat something with popyseeds

You have to eat poppy seeds regularly. And they flush out of your system easly. So a second drug test with that as an excuse probably won't fly.

you're allowed 50 nanograms in your system. i had 40. i was sitting by my mom and got a bit of second hand smoke. also there is nothing cheap about the drug tests that are taken when working in the oil patch

How do you know it was weed that he got busted for? There's lots of other drugs, it could have been crack or meth for all you know. I'm all for legalizing pot, but no matter how much people push for it, that only goes so far. It's up to the government and authorities to actually put it through the process and change the laws, which sometimes they just refuse to do. Plus, in places where it has been illegal for a very long time, legalizing it will take a while, especially since it is still a drug, so like cigarettes, it's going to need regulations.

Even if it was legalized businesses can still reject your offer of employment if it's in your system.

#26, in the United States, the citizens change state law by putting the issue on the ballot by gathering signatures, and then voting for it.

Um, that's not exactly the way it works #51. There's a lot more steps and process to it and in the end, it can still be vetoed or denied. It starts as a bill which can be suggested by basically anyone, include groups of individuals, that is true. However, only legislators can move it through the law-making process, if you don't have this, it won't work. Then it is brought before the state's House of Representatives and Senate. The law needs to be sponsored by a legislator, who brings it before the Legislature. It then goes through the first reading. Then the bill is referred to a House committee where it is discussed and either approved or disapproved. Finally, in the final stage, it is sent to the state governor to be signed into law, vetoed, or allowed to automatically become a law if not signed.

#55, that's absolutely not how it works for all states. Look up a ballot initiative and read about how it works in the states that allow it. I was overzealous in asserting that it works that way in all states. It doesn't. But the legislature has absolutely nothing to do with, and no veto power over, a citizen ballot initiative in states like Ohio.

What drugs did you use to forget how to use proper grammar?
