It's not just the restaurant industry. And I'm guessing most restaurants are not running a background check or drug testing.
Justin, just out of curiosity, what are you drug testing for? Colorado resident here, with a medical MJ card. I don't bother looking at federal or military contract jobs because they still test for weed, but everything else is fine since nobody cares about MJ. But cocaine can show up in blood or saliva for up to 2 days and urine for up to 3. Looks like meth is 3-5 days in urine and 2-10 days in blood. I have no desire to partake in either of those, had to google that info. Seems like it would be easy for a hard core drug user to pass a test, they just need to be clean for several days prior to testing. Weed users are the ones who get busted, yet that's not even considered a drug where I live (and hopefully the entire nation will follow suit soon).
