Thank you for your advise. They already took my blood and urine samples. It's for a job working with the public/ for the government, and I'm in the middle of throwing it all away. I have a university degree and before that went to college for 3 years in an unrelated field. Nvertheless have to go through stupid testing for hours, pass the interview. I'm on this shit for months now and I'm done. They only thing they could possible asked me for is my (unborn) first child.

I feel defeated because I was preparing for the tests and interviews for months. I wasn't prepared for a blood and urine test and I'm kicking myself for being stupid. It's the government after all. I wasn't smoking for months(!), except for that weekend. Summer, music, being in a new group, having several discussions at once and someone is passing the stick to me. One, two, three puffs (don't want to be or appear greedy) before passing it on to the next person. I've been reading up on those tests and my privacy rights. Can I refuse to do the tests, How long will they keep my results, will they pass my results to other agencies and so forth. I was so torn after getting so far. And what is the threshold for passing? Didn't smoke for moths except for this weekend and I don't take any other drugs. I don't know about alcohol because most of us will have a drink or two over the weekend. I can drink a lot of hard liquid over the weekend but stay sober during the week (I might have a beer or two in the evenings). I'm so over all this crap and needed a place to vent. I'll probably delete my post because it's silly and looks like I'm whining.

Thank you though for being a big Bro with your advice. I had a meltdown (still in that mode, will start to cry at any given moment). I just needed to vent and was (I still am) drunk. Apparently, I have called my sister and friends, and I don't remember.
