My contracts always read that I will submit to any drug or alcohol testing prior to or during employment, with the stipulation that testing is in a licensed facility (no at-home tests). While it may be legal in some states, marijuana is still illegal at a federal level, and until it is legal federally, I don’t see why any nanny would have an issue with this.


You cannot control what someone does outside of work. I don’t see why any nanny would want to be controlled this way. I can just imagine the day to day working for that type of family.


I don’t want to work for anyone who uses marijuana (or other drugs!), so it works for me!


You follow and watch them when you aren’t working?! Yeah, you’re a nut.

+1.
I concur.

People who smoke weed are truly losers & I wouldn’t want my child in the company of a common loser.
I would continue my Nanny search.


Did either of you even read the post? It was cannabis oil. Reading is fundamental.


Mug yeah I’m really sure it was cannobis oil. Btw I have a bridge to sell you!

You have no idea what it was. Lots of people cook with cannabis and do edibles. Not everyone is actually smoking weed. If this nanny was actually smoking weed often OP would know it bc the smell is strong. Duh. So go back under your bridge troll.

Are nannies required to disclose all medical and recreational activities? So if your nanny drinks, she needs to let you know exactly how much each week? All medical issues disclosed, like her doctor records?

The attitudes here are amazing. I understand not wanting someone in childcare that is an addict, a drunk, or jas no discretion, but there is absolutely no difference between your wine or cocktail after work and an occasional joint to relax. Plus, most people that use oils and edibles are using them for pain, insomnia, etc. Alcohol is much more evil than any cannobis product, and I would rather hire a nanny that tokes up occasionally or uses edibles for medical reasons, than a drinker.

Marijuana is illegal by federal government. Some states allow it with a prescription. If your health issues are that severe to need it, both should be disclosed. No way would I allow someone to drive and care for my child who uses drugs. And, lies. An occasional drink is legal. Most people who use it are drug addicts. People like me with medical issues use legal prescriptions and legal drugs. Federal law still states it is illegal.

Idk what world you live in but most people using marijuana are not drug addicts. Also, it is legal in several states without a prescription. It is also legal to leave CA with edibles.

So bc alcohol is legal it’s fine for your nanny to be a drinker? Also, abusing and overdosing on prescription drugs is a major thing happening. So your nanny could be a drug addict addicted to prescription pills. But that’s fine right? Oh the flaws in your very ignorant and misinformed logic.

In California now that it’s legal we have so many loser driving with smoking weed (daily occurance) and I can’t even take the kids to the park without walking through someone’s cloud of marijuana. And we live in Beverly Hills! West Hollywood people are just walking down the street smoking it. People in the valley are normal so I only smell it flies over the hil to the west side. Can you imagine how many more people are driving with edibles? Oh because it’s natural and harmless to help you ‘relax’. F that. People who’s do marajuana are complete and total losers and if never hire a nanny who used... And I’m a nanny!!!

Edibles and the like were made for folks with severe pain and issues eating and sleeping. Tons of people use the stuff recreationally, sure. But even more use it in place of high risk pharmaceutical drugs. I've personally known about half a dozen folks that were able to drop several drugs with side effects and just use medical marijuana.

I also know quite a few creatives that smoke to relax and focus on their art. They are harming no one, it is legal here, and on top of that, they are contributing to the world by creating art/music/etc.

If you drink at all, and live in a legal state, you have no horse in this race. I go to lots of parks and the issue I see isn't pot- it is opiate addiction- much of which was caused by this wonderful legal pharma painkillers we had. I think its best to focus on what is really harmful and what is pretty innocuous. Painting everyone as a loser when you don't know anyone dying of cancer or in hidden pain or disability just paints you as the loser. It's like saying, oh there are winks drinking on the street. All alcohol is bad.

I would never hire anyone that used any alcohol or drugs at work, of course. And just like the government can drug test, as well as any company, that is their choice in hiring. But the getting all bent out of shape about something that actually just makes most people relax and eat Cheetos- please.

Just my 2 cents.

You have to be the most ignorant and misinformed person on this thread. The fact that you actually “take care of” and “teach” children is a problem. Your spelling and comprehension are pretty terrible too.

Oh please, the homeless problem was stopping you before marijuana became legal. I’m also guessing you believe people who drink and take prescription drugs are losers too, correct?
