I love this and would do the same thing if in your shoes.

Totally not cool! On so many levels! You run the risk of someone testing positive for something else and filing a lawsuit for being terminated when everyone who tested positive for weed got to keep their jobs. Additionally, if your company does anything where someone could someone else if they are impaired, you are running a HUGE risk here. I think you should stop...and yes, I too work in HR.

Why would anybody who gets fired for drug-related issues have any access to anyone else's drug test results?

Having been in HR for quite some time, I know that employees talk to each other. I'm sure that some employees are well aware of their fellow co-workers weed habits. If they know they've been drug tested, which most people do since they see their co-worker leave for the random drug test, they would know. But you're correct..in a perfect world, they would not know and therefore it would be a non-issue. In the end, what this person is doing is not ethical and definitely not in line with their company's drug policy.

჻ೋ჻ ჻ೋ჻ Exactly, I agree with the above commenter, you are putting your company and those who use it at risk. On top of that it is not your decision to make. Did they tell you to decide what is ok and what is not? No. You were told what needs to be reported and you are not reporting it. You are failing to do your job correctly as well as putting others as risk. I hope your employer finds out and then you get "let go." ჻ೋ჻ ჻ೋ჻

You shouldn't be doing this even though you may think it's a harmless drug.

Hehe you're cool, I like you. I wish weed was legal.

Meh.. I see their point about it's not ethical and blah blah blah but I totally agree with you and I'd probably do the same thing. My boyfriend, brother-in-law, nephews, and all their friends smoke pot on the regular. No bigs... I'm not a pot smoker but I'm fighting for legalization cause I think it's BS to be classified with Meth and yet alcohol & ciggs are legal.

I don't even smoke and I agree with you 100% and would do the exact same thing.

I hope you get fired.

Unfortunately, those in the field of law enforcement may not agree with you.

I'd wait for pot to be legal, instead of deciding the law for yourself.

And ps. It's not harmless (but then again neither are nicotine or alcohol, and they're legal).

It is NOT A HARMLESS "drug". I am perfectly fine with people smoking grass but I can see a good reason to not hire someone who tests positive for THC. An irresponsible & dishonest UA lab tech passes a "dirty" test as being clean, the person who had a false negative drug test (for THC) gets the job (and that one person who didn't smoke it didn't get the job), thus causing the person who was smoking grass to be wrongfully qualified for the position in which the combination of their grass smoking + the nature of their job = possible pain & detriment to their well being, as well as the well being of those working with or around them. Not smart hun. Pot should be legal, and treated the same way that alcohol & booze are treated. What you are doing is not ok, IMO. Nuff said. -True

I feel like it would also have to depend on their demeanor and how well they work.

I bet you won't be so smug about this when you get fired... oh, and when your employer reports you to law enforcement... will it be so harmless then?
