    Had something similar happen. After work I lit up a blunt before driving home, and pulled up next to my manager at a red light as he was lighting his.

    It ended up saving my ass, because I cut my thumb open a month later, and he saw me in the break room with a wad of bloody paper towels on it.

    Instead of starting the workplace injury crap that would have resulted in a drug test, he just said, “got yourself a bit of a paper cut, huh?”

    The cut was 100% my fault for using a box cutter stupidly, and wasn’t bad enough to need medical attention.

      Glad to hear it went fine. Sad to hear that you could not get medical attention without risking your livelyhood. That is so fucked up 😢

        Yeah, it’s definitely stupid that smoking weed within 30 days of the injury fucks you.

        But I wouldn’t have gotten medical attention regardless. Applying pressure and holding the wound 12in above the heart is all you need the majority of the time for minor to moderate wounds.
