    that's what i used way back when i was a heavy daily smoker and interviewing for jobs. the ~32oz expensive ass "detox" drink that headshops sell, where you drink the thing, then refill with water, drink that, have a huge piss almost right away, and then you piss "clean" for like several hours. i used to keep one in my trunk, because i had job interviews where they would pressure applicants to go to the testing facility right away to submit for urinalysis to be taken seriously as a candidate.

    what a fucking insane cash grab everything connected to drug testing is. from the insurance companies that insist on it for worker comp coverage and the companies that use it to fuck with our private lives or skate on a worker's comp claim, to the companies that charge $50-100 a pop for testing service.

    when i was much younger and nebbish, i knew this guy at this shitty job i had in a fucked up call center and there were rumors spreading about a drug testing policy being implemented. this guy was the most "i don't give a fuck" employee i have ever known. guy says, loud as fuck while locking eyes with a group of managers, "do these assholes not realize how high i have to get to even walk through the doors of this shithole?" claude, you absolute king. i will never forget you.
