Hello, I saw your posts on a few posts I was looking up.
My friend is a current federal employee in financial management in a public trust position.
They had a panic attack over the weekend and went to the hospital, the hospital did a routine drug test and they tested positive for THC.
It was from a Cbd delta 8 gummie (hemp) and not marijuana. But the drug tests only test for thc not the different types. This was done in the ER.
They are freaking out thinking they are going to be fired over it, every 5 years they do complete an sf-85p for their background check and it does mention drug use.
What would be the best course of action for them and likelihood of termination? Would it be best to report now or wait for the new review and admit then?
Since the drug test was done at the ER would they even pull that record?
