Howdy! I recently applied for a job with Amtrak, and I've been told the job is mine pending a pre-employment drug test, and physical examination. I live in California, and I'm a medical marijuana patient, so I do smoke marijuana (I stopped smoking as soon as I heard I had the job, but I'm sure I would still test positive). So I guess my first question is Will Amtrak accept my doctors recommendation that I use medical cannabis? I'm leaning toward no on that one. My second question is does anyone know how the physical exam/drug test is conducted? Are they at the same facility, or different? Is there someone watching over your shoulder while you urinate? Anyone know what lab they send you to for the test?
If anyone has been through all this with Amtrak I'd love to hear from ya. And BTW the position is LSA, so Im not going to be driving the train, or in a position where my previous marijuana use might put people in danger...
Cheers!
