They test.
And that has to be the worst job ever. It is soul sucking. I enjoyed my retail job much more.

Depends on what kinds of calls you will be making? I work in a callcenter and first of all they don't test, but hey it's the Netherlands so I doubt there are even required drug tests unless it's a high position job.
What does the job entail at the callcenter? I am working outbound to sell energy, and believe me it's not great. If you have to handle inbound calls it's probably not so bad.
I handled inbound calls, those seem to be mostly customer service with some selling, at least mine was. Customer service over the phone is terrible, especially since most of the time they're upset and take their frustration out on you (sometimes they even apologize beforehand then tear you a new one). It was like earlier said, soul-sucking. I got all kinds of people; stupid angry people who won't reason, depressing situations that people were in because of an error in billing, normal people who understand how troubling it is to be in a call center, and people who were upset because they were transferred over and over on the phone, ect.
I always looked forward to the end of the day when I'd smoke a bowl or two and unwind after a stressful day. Wish I had some now :|

I've never even heard of drug testing in the Netherlands. I've worked in quite some places and have never had to do a drug test. Does it even exist in the Netherlands?

Honestly I doubt it, I'd bet there are a fair share of people with important jobs who smoke one every now and then.
And yes working in a callcenter just plain sucks I'll agree. Souls sucking? Maybe lol

It'd be inbound, and it'd be for netflix, I would also receive free netflix. But that sounds terrible, I'm not sure if I will pursue it yet.
Call centers jobs depend a lot on your mental strength. It was my first job and I lasted there for 3 years while I was studying but I was lucky enough to snatch a weekend morning schedule (less than part time) as I was living with my parents so the workload wasn't nearly the same as in weekdays, but I worked for the worst and most cheating mobile phone carrier of Spain so billing "mistakes" and impossible-to-understand bills were the norm. When some partners and I finished our training (3 weeks!) and started actually working, there were two girls that even though they were really capable, ended up crying their hearts out the first day and never came back. You would see these scenes every time there was a new batch of "juniors" and it was really heartbreaking.
Yeah you know, how bad can those calls be if it's for Netflix? I worked for a bank with a retail chain's credit card. You can imagine how bad and how many calls there were.
I got some really strong sativa. Haven't had one of these in a long time, it's mostly indica that I get from my guys, but this time it was sativa and damn, my head is in the sky while my body doesn't really feel high.

Any vaporizer recommendations? Are there any good quality, lower cost ones? I was looking at Vaporbrothers and am prepared to drop ~$150, but I don't know much about what's on the market.

Sleeping is the the most troublesome part about quitting for me. Sleeping early has been an issue since before I smoked, though.
Last night I got way to drunk, not enough high. Went to a friend's place after work, had two mixed drinks and like 5 or 6 shots on an empty stomach. Then we loaded up the generator, but I was two fucked up to get that good of hits off it. Not gonna drink as much next time, or I'll eat beforehand.
hunger over as fuck right now, had lunch with my mom, so i dont have anything to do, nap time.

Job interview tomorrow. If I nail it and get the job, I'm going to grab my vape and go to town as soon as I'm safe from drug testing and I'm comfortable in the position.
I'm not a troubled person or anything. To be honest I just really want to get high again, especially since it's the Spring and there's so much nature and beauty and warm weather to enjoy after a nice vaping session. I've been clean since January and it's been easy to stay off the stuff, but man, I'm just in the mood.

heh.
The second i watched in full HD, full screen with all the lights off. It was one of the most profound and beautiful things i've ever seen.
Oh yeah. Like, right after a solid sesh I love to just huff down a cig. I don't smoke often so I get a pretty okay buzz from cigs alone and with the weed hugh its pretty awesome.
In high school we used to say that the first cigarette boosted the high by 13%.
I'm sure one of us was trolling the others and just forgot, started believing it too.
But I can't stand cigarettes anymore.

Man I'm home for summer break and probably off the green until August. Shit sucks man.
Caffeine for me is my thing I enjoy
I never drink caffeine so I get a small buzz when I do, and when high, the feeling is tenfold

Really? I've never heard of someone getting a buzz from caffeine, even as someone who seldom drinks caffeinated beverages.
Anyways, I'm going forward with the call center you guys. Maybe I'll just stick with it for the summer and go back to retail after, but I just need a change of pace. And the $3 extra an hour don't hurt either.
Just smoked a big joint and I'm currently listening to wu tang forever disc 2, and fuck I'm blown away by it, I haven't listened to this album in so long and I'm seriously considering this to be better than enter the wu tang 36 chambers and I considered that album to be one of the best all time....what do you guys think, am I just too high or is wu tang forever disc 2 better than enter the wu 36 chambers?

Coffee + cannabis is my favorite combo ever, especially if it's a wake 'n bake. Puts me in the perfect head space.
It's not. Tomorrow smoke a bowl and listen to 36 Chambers. Liquid Swords and OB4CL are better as well.
I've been dry for so long and I hate it. If nothing else I just miss being able to get high before going to bed, it was the best thing for my sleeping problems. Not knowing anyone with connections sucks. What does you do when you have no dealer and don't know anybody who knows one? I feel weird asking people I don't know. God fuckin damn just legalize this shit already..........

There is no better feeling than getting home early from work and smoking a joint in the beautiful sun. This day couldn't be any better!

A cig? I probably smoke 2-3 during my high just to bring it back from time to time. Love smoking a red while high, that shit hits HARD!
Not possible to get a cousin/friend/sibling etc whos clean to give u some piss?
not on the same day at least. i could get it like a day or 2 before. would it still be ok? lol
It would work, but you'd have to have a heating pad to get it to the proper body temperature or you'll fail the test.
They should sell synthetic urine (and the heat packs) at your local head shop.
