9. Good. That cannabis test is shit and always has been

since it turns up traces of use from nearly a month prior. THC is stored in body fat and the test is just too sensitive.

It was never changed because detecting an active high was never the point, Harry Anslinger demonized cannabis because he hated Hispanics and Nixon demonized cannabis because he hated black folks, hippies, and students and a ridiculously bad drug test was useful to ruin their lives, which it did efficiently.

They stopped testing for it about eight years ago here. Now that we have both medical and recreational pot, the test is considered just as useless as it always was.
