Sleep?!?! How do you do it?

[Captain Brainstorm]

Also technically true but let's be realistic - they aren't investigating THC results. And now the Air Force has relaxed their criteria - an initial positive test barred new applicants, now they get a chance to retest weeks later. And there will be a shift to saliva vs urine testing.

I'm all for legalizing, however someone flying a $110M dollar fighter jet shouldn't be a pot head. Even thought they're relaxing their criteria, I suspect that if you pop positive you're not operating their multi-million dollar hardware.

I think you are now missing the point. if you were trying to get a clearance, and the direct question is put to your references/family/neighbors "do you know if Rick uses or has used recreational drugs, legal or illegal?" they are not going to get the clearance needed to get the job, and therefor will lose their job to make way for someone that can.
hell, being a couple months behind on your mortgage will exclude you from getting a clearance.

a little closer to home - did you get the CC permit?

this is exhausting.

Realistically, they absolutely are investigating THC results and using results to fire people. If you're talking about use prior to DoD employment, if the person is honest about that, those results are not necessarily disqualifying, but using while employed is definitely not something that gets a pass in any way.

100%....and with a private company/government contractor.... After they fire you... Ya maybe you can hire a lawyer and try to fight it... Personally I just find it easier to not be a pot head. That said, I have have nothing against weed, and I certainly think it's better for you that alcohol

Simple- no calories 2 hours before bed.

Wow, six pages in and no one else commented or mentioned GABA? He's literally saying he can't turn off his brain, and GABA is the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the body.

Another natural option for some is tart cherry, which also serves as an anti-inflammatory.

Do you mix it with herb or view it straight?

This is gold and very true.

THIS is very true and something I've been working on perfecting.

My alcohol consumption is just about zero these days. I have been energy drink free for almost two years. I dont drink coffee or tea, and other than the occasional soda, I am primarily caffeine free. I'm not a sweets eater. I wake up at 4:30 five days a week. I do physical labor on the average about 11 hours a day. I come home, I clean, I pick up dog shit, laundry, dishes, etc. I usually then take my daughter on an hourish long car ride so she can decompress and recharge. I shower, I do my stretching and breathing exercises, and I'm in bed by 10pm. I hit the white noise machine and I sleep like a baby until the alarm goes off. I like the white noise machine, it drowns out the creaks in the house, the furnace kicking on, the dog snores, etc.

I'm sure you're technically correct that the standard isn't truly "0", as that doesn't really exist in an analytical testing sense, but the larger picture is that any use/exposure puts a person at risk of failing. As indicated in that link, even the use of widely available CBD products has resulted in failures, which can be career ending as well as the cause for pretty dire penalties. There are also positions where extensive investigations are conducted beyond just the standard panel, including multiple interviews, contacting friends/family/neighbors etc, potentially a polygraph, all of which cover substance use. So yeah, the testing protocol doesn't have "0" as the actual standard, but the DoD policy is effectively 0.

Also technically true but let's be realistic - they aren't investigating THC results. And now the Air Force has relaxed their criteria - an initial positive test barred new applicants, now they get a chance to retest weeks later. And there will be a shift to saliva vs urine testing

Not at all. You guys still aren't grasping the concept of zero tolerance - it simply isn't true. The initial test cutoff is 50 ng/ml. So if your test result is 45, you pass.

I have no interest in CC

A key for me is not thinking “word thoughts” when it’s time to sleep.

I often put myself to sleep visualizing a ride on familiar trails. I “ride” into Allaire/Hartshorne/Huber/Chimney Rock and visualize a loop I usually ride.

Better than counting sheep.

This ^^^^
I don't usually have trouble getting to sleep but when I do I find retracing the ride I did that day helps, Sourlands works the best.

I had a few beers with dinner last night - I was able to record what went on in my head/dreams around 1am.

your not grasping the concept that zero tolerance exists bc it is contrary to your own beliefs, the some of us are living the life where zero tolerance is the NORM, not the exception, where any detectable amount could cost someone their job.

 

[JimN]

your not grasping the concept

I think you're the one not grasping the concept. Rick is a Florida Man. You can't use reason with Florida Man.

I didn’t drink last night, took 1 melatonine 1/2 hour before bed and was asleep at 8:30/woke at 4:20. Usually melatonine leaves my sleep pattern all over the place but last night it was good. Body battery pic was about 1/2 hour after I woke up sipping on a coffee.
