If Xanterra does a pre-employment drug test I'm sure all you potheads can put the grass down for a hot minute (2 months) and clean your system out if you really want to work at a national park.

I've been watching this thread for a while and I just love how the tone has changed. they've gone from very defensive to not admitting that there potheads, There now just hanging with them, but there not doing it. What makes it better is these "non potheads" work in some positions that could result in bad situations.

In spite of the established medical value of marijuana, doctors are presently permitted to prescribe cocaine and morphine - but not marijuana.

Many employers do look you up on myspace and such to get dirt on you. I have no secrets to hide if I got in trouble at work for something personal I posted on a message board I wouldnt want to work for that person anyways, if they dont trust there employees so much as to pretend to be someone else to get dirt on them.
