I was laid off about 2 and a half months ago after over 10 years at my previous job, which caught me completely off guard. At that company, drug testing was never a requirement, and many of us, including myself, partook in substances without worry. Recently, I received a job offer that does require a pre-employment drug test, and I'm feeling anxious about it. Since the layoff, I've stopped using, but I know that it can linger in my system for months, especially since I was a regular user. I've been testing myself at home, and the results are confirming my fears. I'm surprised to have landed a new job so quickly, but now I'm faced with the dilemma of whether to be honest about my past or try to delay the test and hope for the best. If I do fail, I hope they'll let me explain my situation.
