DrugBuyers.Com: Question on drugscreen for benzo's

You need to check your state's laws. What they did is illegal in some places. I'm pretty sure that California has protections for employees against drug tests.

Some of us have the luxury of "Just Say No" to drug tests. I've never taken one and hope it never comes to that.

By "Serax" maybe they mean Serepax, or oxazepam. Many of the benzos will metabolize to other benzos or will have the same metabolites. Urine tests are not very reliable. They probably have more false negatives than false positives, but both happen routinely. That's why only private employers can legally fire someone (who is already an employee) on the basis of just a single Best if kept off the board test.

Government jobs, both federal and state, offer better protections because the drug test and the firing would need to pass constitutional muster. But private entities who "employ at will" can (unless the state prohibits it) fire someone for pretty much any reason that's not prohibited by our civil rights laws (like discrimination on the basis of age, sex, race, national origin, ... and, most recently, disability).

For example, discrimination in hiring and firing on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity (whether actual or *perceived*) was made illegal a few days ago where i live. It's been over six years since federal employees got that protection from a Bill Clinton Executive Order.

I wish someone would post a list of the states that limit the legality of private employer drug testing. I know they can do whatever they want here for that. Nobody has a right to a job here. If you don't like it, quit. And ditto for firing someone. Seems like the East and West Coast states make it harder to fire people.
