Harrm said:Yes, most jobs in the US require some form of drug screening. The only ones that dont usually are minimum-wage or low-wage jobs (grocery stores, rastaurants, fast food joints, etc). Basically anything retail and up requires a drug test.
They test for a few drugs such as opiates and other hard drugs, but usually these are out of your system fast enough where you can get away with it. People I know have gotten away with "I ate a few bagels this morning" before.

However, some of the tests are easy enough to tell which drug is which (the army uses what looks like a PH strip with different sections for what I assume is different drugs.)
Ask him, himself/herself through the power of Grayskull.

Lol, since were necroing this thread to death...
Im a Medical Lab Tech, so I can tell you its about a month in general. Drugs that are water soluble (Coke, etc. ), about 1 - 3 days.
And no, drinking Cranberry Juice, Pickle juice, etc will at most cause the test to give no results, which is pretty much automatic fail in any employers eyes.
