A coalition of transportation and safety organizations say they have “serious safety concerns” surrounding the Trump administration’s move to federally reschedule marijuana.Led by the American Trucking Associations, the groups sent a letter on Monday urging federal officials to take steps to ensure that truck drivers, pilots, transit operators and other safety-sensitive workers will continue to be tested for cannabis.“Unless the necessary steps are taken to preserve employers’ ability to test safety‑sensitive transportation workers for marijuana, this change could have significant consequences for the safety of the traveling public and the entire transportation sector,” they wrote.The organizations said they understand that federal officials are proceeding with rescheduling with “urgency” under an executive order from President Donald Trump, they are “deeply concerned that the current process has not adequately accounted for the impact on transportation safety or the agencies charged with protecting the traveling public” and they want agencies to “work together” during an ongoing cannabis rescheduling hearing and rulemaking process to address those concerns.In May, the Department of Transportation (DOT) issued new guidance saying that truck drivers, airline pilots and other safety-sensitive workers still cannot use medical marijuana without punishment despite the Trump administration’s move to reschedule it.“Marijuana use is not compatible with safety-sensitive functions,” the department said.“Currently, there is no instance when the MRO could verify a laboratory-confirmed marijuana positive drug test result as ‘negative’ when an employee claims the positive was caused by a State licensed marijuana product,” DOT said.>https://www.marijuanamoment.net/transportation-groups-warn-feds-of-marijuana-reschedulings-consequences-for-drug-testing-of-truck-drivers-and-pilots/
>>538301608No it fucking wouldn't, you just stipulate that employees can't smoke or eat any THC shit.Why are you posting rage-bait OP?
>>538301608have jobs where you cant be high while doing them. thats how its here. if nothing is specified u can be high.
>>538301608But keep drinking alcohol!
>>538301608Why? Just because it's legal doesn't mean the company has to allow you to use.
>>538301608Literal non issue, you can't drink alcohol and drive a truck, same goes for dude weed lmao. I don't work in transportation but in a dangerous industry and though weed is legal, it goes against company policy and they can test at anytime and fire you if you test positive.
>>538301608as if they aint high now. only difference is they can be open about it.
>>538301608>weed? bad, too dangerous for the roads >jeets who can't read english? great, give them all commercial trucking licenseslegalize it all. this country is done.
>>538301608Oh no! How will we control what our goyim do in their free time when they're not working?? This is anudda shoah
>>538301608If the government and security companies can keep potheads out of their ranks, so can the FAA and DOT. Not hard, just test them. Alcohol is much more of a problem.
>>538302643The problem is we have accurate blower machines that can tell you exactly how drink someone is at that current point in time. We don't have anything like that for weed, urine can test positive 2-3 weeks after you smoke and blood testing everyone for on the spot suspicions is too expensive.
>>538301608You'd have to be a sociopath to smoke weed while being an airline pilot. It completely wrecks your short term memory which is critical for piloting an airliner.
>>538302945Agreed bur I think pilots should be able to smoke on their days off like anyone else. It's unfair that you can be a slobbering wetbrained drunk but you're not allowed to smoke weed and play video games - a beloved american pasttime.
>>538302931Like I said, a positive test is grounds for termination at certain companies and industries, if you work in those fields and like to use weed, you should probably choose another industry as if you test positive for weed you are gone. There is no problem if you like recreational substances that much choose maybe mcdonalds or kfc because if you make a mistake there while you are high you'll only fuck yourself up with the fryer oil and not everyone else.
>>538303076The problem is the memory effects last well into the following days. In Canada it's a 28 day limit from bong to throttle.
They need to develope a test that measures if you're currently under the influence of thc. You shouldn't be able to regulate what someone does in thier free time.
>>538301608It was also found to increase testesterone by ~25% on average in male users. They don't want you knowing this.
>>538302670more this than anything. trump's at least making the industry get real about itself. doubt it lasts, but it might.
>>538301966>just stipulate that employees can't smoke or eat any THC shitThey don't forbid alcohol entirely, why marijuana?
>>538303134Or you can just pick this up at a smoke shop for $20 and pass a drug test every time lmao
>>538301608trucker anon reporting in.my cannabis use is limited to 2 tokes at the beginning of 34 hour reset - once or twice a month. over the last 13 years I've been randomed 20+ times and tested negative every time.you have to smoke alot of pot to trip the system.
>>538301608Their contracts for [e]ployment already cover [in]toxication.
>>538301608Yeah i prefer our truckers to be drunk instead
>>538304565My trucker buddy did this but instead of warming the urine under his armpit he heat it up in the microwave and got caught because it was too hot lmfao
>>538302525There's no good way to test for Marijuana use and they dont want people to know that. If you smoke a lot you will test positive for 3-5 months after quitting.
>>538305200Most (White) regular smokers, barely even get a "high". It just takes the edge off like a cig. Drinking is FAR worse. Having hungover or withdrawals while driving is bad news.
it'll eventually become something similar to tattoos. i remember in the 90s that only sailors and whores had tattoos, but now we have people with full arm and leg tattoos in every branch of govt
>>538301608Pilots aren't drug tested already?
>>538305836pilots have a union. truckers all operate under the same umbrella laws. id bet this has something to do with collective bargaining as well.
>>538305200On off days anyone can smoke it wone affect him one bit if he smoked yesterday. Adjust blood level threshold and measurement accuracy. Ask grok. You spend so much on AI as a country.
>>538301608mehhh I drove stoned as shit for over a decade and no issues
> concerned about safety on the road> every third driver is a literal turd behind the wheelYeah ok
>>538305887Fair, gotta find out when the old agreement between management and the pilot's unions than the answer would be pretty simple.
>>538304774Do you think a 10 mg edible on the evening of two full days off will get you in trouble?
>>538303383Fatass here trying to lose weightIt turns out that sneed oils that get stored in fat cells cause endocannabinoid short term memory impairment and munchiesBan sneed oils
>>538304883What is this code
>>538305836They are subject to random tests and some airlines test them during their annual medical.
>>538306022Do you do cross-border? My dad managed a garbage trucking company and had to fire a great driver because he popped positive on a weed test for cross-border work bringing Canadian garbage into the US.
>>538301608stop hiring brown shitskins who are liable to kill everyone completely sober and we can talk about the White men you hire maybe smoking a little weed when they drive, still safely
>>538301966you can't even do CBD
>>538301608how about instead of worrying what truckers smoke on their days off these kikes stop letting illiterate jeet migrants drive these fucking big rigs if they are so concerned about safety?
>>538308510>so concerned about safetyThis isn't about safety, brother. Feeling demoralized yet?
>>538303134well then if you're going to be like that about it, then I will absolutely support any votes that involve putting breathalyzers in planes and other heavy equipment before use
>>538308335>bringing Canadian garbage into the USBut enough about indians
>>538308259Thanks for the info anon
>>538302931Who cares, you fucking nanny faggot? Dude weed
Implying trucjers don't get high and haven't gotten high for years.Guess what kikes? Truckers were more effective when they were methheads than they now are as jeets.
>>538301608FUCK OFF LET ME SMOKE WEED GOD DAMN IT. I LIVE IN A FUCKING BOX, LET ME AT LEAST DRUG MYSELF INTO NOT BEING DEPRESSED
>>538304547Don't be antisemitic
>>538301608Any job that requires operating a vehicle should require testing for any drug that could impair your ability to use vehicles. You'd have to be retarded to think otherwise
>>538309174Ok go back to your jew HR office faggot.
>>538302931No we don't. BAC doesn't directly link to drunkenness.
>>538301608>Weed is the problem>not the jeet drivers who kills an entire family and get annoyed that they're now being questioned by police lol lmfao
>>538301608Most truckers are hopped up on things WAY worse than weed.
>>538308683I am ok with that as well, I am an alcoholic and I have not had a drink in 10 years.
>>538301608Why wouldn’t someone be able to drive stoned? I do it every time I get in my car
When I drove across country at the truck stops were baseball cap wearing truckers and middle easterners, I don't think either smokes weed. It's the day cab drivers who deliver toast to the restaurant that do 15mph in the fast lane..
>>538302945Marijuana does not wreck your short term memory at all. I got way better grades in college once I started smoking while studying for my exams. It makes it easy to memorize and recall all that shit they teach you. It especially makes essay questions easier I really get my muse going when I'm stoned.Stop believing in retarded media depictions of things like their facts.
>>538301608Just don't let jeets drive trucks and it'll be okay.
>>538304547Alcohol is out of your system after a night of sleep. I mean they could easily install interlocks on every truck so you have to blow to start the truck. I wouldn't be opposed to that. t. Alcoholic who smokes weed every day
>>538301608Literally who gives a fuck. I have a 148k high risk job and I smoke weed every day.
>serious safety concernsSo which kike lobbyist about to lose a bunch of shekels to rescheduling paid safety organizations to cry on their behalf? No first-time smoker is going to climb into their truck high and if they're a regular then being stoned is literally less dangerous than driving at night. Can these fucking nanny state boomers just die already.
>>538309563The only dangerous thing about weed is glowniggers slapping a "psychosis" side effect on it so they can use you as data fodder when you're added to their gangstalking programs to train their mkultra AI models.
>>538303411Thats why Trumps admin is ignoring these people. The test exists, its a breathalizer and will be coming in 2027. Once it goes public THC will be only something they test for if you are driving. It'll be a DUI. THC will be allowed at home much like alchohol is. Matt Gaetz was talking about it recently. This is coming.
>>538301608>Pilots and TruckersYOU MEAN THE NIGGER BITCHES AND PAJEETS DON'T?!?!
>>538302684/thread
>>538309763Shut up you paranoid idiot.
>>538304969Your buddy is retarded because there's a temperature strip on the bottle that he's supposed to read before filling the cupAlso warming it in the microwave is an actual method included in the directions, it's just quicker than using the hand warmer which takes about an hour to heat up
>>538312743I never said he was intelligent. He was a trucker
>>538305200Three to five months? Lol bro, what? I used to be an absolute degen that did gummies every day for 2 years, finally quit and within a month I had clean piss.
Pilots can fly just fine when high. You already know you can drive.
>>538312887Depends on how fat you are. Inactive fatties don't burn the metabolites off
>>538304565>have one of these in my thighs for a non-cdl driving job>they did a mouth swabLuckily it turns out they didn't test for THC
>>538301608This is just absurd. Everyone knows pilots use coke and truck drivers bang meth.
>>538301608Oh, will you look at the time
>>538301966This. It doesn’t matter what the legal standard is, you can set your workplace standard
