What will happen if i fail drug test that is out of state?

Asked by TrenchantWit (290points) November 15th, 2009

I’m flying out tomorrow for job training, I have bought synthetic urine and a additive to try to pass my test. I want to know what happens if I fail this test, will they not provide me with transportation home? Will I be stranded thousands of miles from home? Please no criticism, I understand that I should of abstained, but it is what it is.

Bring a credit card to charge the return flight home.

You won’t fail it, but in case you did, i would make sure i had means of getting home, more then likely they will send you home though.

They will not be responsible for your transportation home if you are terminated.
Disclaimer: I am going off what happened to a friend in 1993. This case may not be the same here.

you won’t fail it- make sure that the temperature is correct! hope that it’s not an observed test- employments usually aren’t.

@TrenchantWit you say you got synthetic urine and an additive? be careful with additives they can cause an ‘adulterated’ result which is a fail! but synthetic urine always works-if the temps correct -

Did you know you had this drug test coming up, and smoked anyways?

It is kinda like going on a date. It is never a bad idea to have a way to get home or pay for dinner if things don’t work out.

Unless you have a ticket in hand I would prepare for the worst. You could call and ask, but that might look bad.

Note: In my prior example where my friend was terminated without the means to return home the test was positive for a different substance. I do not know if this would make any difference to an employer though.

Just be prepared either way and be elated if all is good.

I know this is not the question but does your job involve machinery or transporting others? Would your actions put others at risk? (If not I do not understand why employers subject employees to drug tests. Just my opinion.)
