Today I will be going to do my drug screen for insurance... I can pass a urine test but in regards to thc in my blood from months back I will fail. If it were legal here for medicinal purposes I wouldnt have an issue but it is not. My question to everyone or anyone have you been turned down because of your drug screen?

What kind of insurance? When I had a drug screen for Life insurance it was a urine test, not blood test. And blood tests shouldn't go back months anyways. Hair tests, yes.

I have medicaid with the state. I am not loser just someone with bad osteoarthritis. Pain kills killed my dad years ago... I wont take those, now i just suffer.

I am totally not judging you!

I have no issue with people using marijuana - medicinally or recreationally. And I think it's a heck of a lot better than opioid pain medication.

I was just curious what type of insurance you had to get drug screened for. Is that for Medicaid? The only time I've ever been drug screened was for life insurance.

One thing to note, for my life insurance, it didn't matter if you were a medical patient or not (I live in MI where medicinal is legal), if you tested positive to marijuana you weren't denied insurance, but you automatically got a "smoker" rate. Which is ridiculous on many levels, but that's another topic.

I'm sorry. Just so many people judge. I just took my blood drug screen. Now i just sit back and wait.

@@wantenergy83 I definitely don't think you are a bad person or a loser by a long shot. I am glad you found something that works to help you pain. Some of the most productive people I know use cannibas to manage their pain, PTSD, and anxiety. It's what helps them stay productive. I am a big believer of "your body, your choice". I am also very sorry about your dad. It's hard to lose someone and I can't imagine how awful that must have been to lose him to prescription pain pills.

Wishing you the best and hoping your blood test turns out in your favor.

Keep us posted on what happens. I'm really curious.

I have severe ptsd from an abusive exhusband. I was in shock to find out that i had to pass a drug screen... So i have just been suffering until this but have slipped up once and that was after my sons latest diagnosis.

I was 17 when my father died... The pills ate up his liver and then his kidneys. I was in the office when my daddy asked for help to ween off but instead the doctor wrote another script for oxycotin...about 2mths later my dad was given 6mths he then lived for 3mths... There isnt in room in my life for narcotics and i joke that 1-800mg of ibuprofen can knock me out (its true). Even when i have had surgeries i only tolerate the narcotics for a brief time and then i cope with the pain. Thank you Vamping for your understanding.

Do they need a drug test for surgical procedure or is this something different.

I was told that it is for insurance approval

You have to pass a drug test to be approved for bariatric surgery? Odd. That's the first I've heard of that.

I havent heard it anywhere, only from my surgeons office. I have scoured the internet looking for people who have had too and nothing.
