Their own procedure is to provide a urine sample. I made them aware of this they ignored it.
Cannabis is not addictive.
That would be nice.
I don’t know the procedure entirely because mine was DR10 and not drugs. But I always thought it was bloods for drugs. Drugs are varied and that’s the marker they’re after. Urine may well be an option, I don’t know. I also wasn’t aware it was like a drive thru and you could choose (I mean it’s their restaurant after all and it’s you who’s put yourself there).
No cannabis may not be addictive. I mean around here it’s practically legal anyway (the level of control the police exercise it may as well be). And do you know what, that’s fine with me - it’s mostly harmless. I have my own view on why it isn’t, and always I’d rather the local chavlings round here were a bit spaced and silly, rather than drunk and angry. We were all kids once.
But it is illegal. The addictive properties don’t matter. LSD isn’t addictive either; I still wouldn’t take it before nipping to get fuel. Mescaline isn’t addictive, but I wouldn’t take a trip to mong-land with my psych-ho’s and space-bitches and then drive to parents’ evening later. Which in the eyes of the authorities is exactly the type of behaviour you are now happily broadcasting you could be prone to.
More’s the point, the ‘legal’ threshold for plasma cannabis is stupidly, unfairly low. It’s deliberate. Cannabis has a very long half life. Have a night out on the biscuits or the pep, and you and your mate Rio from SK9 have only got to hide in a hedge for 2-6 days. On the doob it’s different. It may be sweet, innocent and natural to you and your quaver-munching mates, but to them that half life is a big deal. You ain’t road legal while it’s in you.
I don’t judge because I think the world would be a much nicer place actually if 90% of its bars and pubs were cafes or shisha, just as in the same way I could never understand the heavy handedness at raves. No trouble was ever really caused, just some low-level dealing and some noise. But the authorities don’t like it as it produces no revenue, and lobbies are very powerful.
Start looking at this from their view for just a second and see what’s wrong here.
Please don’t trip yourself by playing David. This Goliath is one you won’t take down. The drugs and alcohol in your file aren’t going to help you, you’ve admitted to both, and I’m afraid the world isn’t really a fair place anymore. If you’ve ever mentioned ANY mental health also - which you may or may not have to explain the drinking - again that picture of you won’t be painted nicely in a court of law; against a government department. They can also see and hear as much as you - I really wouldn’t poke the bear until you’re at least driving again.
