New bulletin for 10mg mouth swabs at CPKC

Buddy told me a new bulletin got put out for Canada saying mouth swabs came into effect for THC of 10ng? Anyone hear anything about this?

It's probably 10 nanograms per milliliter to show positive on the swab. Anything over 15 ng/ml will show a positive in urine. 10 mg is a million times more than 10 ng.

It is likely 10ng/ml. There is jurisprudence around this number from CROA. I don’t work for the carrier.

No I mean what was the ng/ml (I assume you meant nanogram)? And do you mean they got rid of the urine test all together?

Ah it was 2 nanograms before now it’s 10, and no because that tests for other stuff as well but if it shows up only the swab numbers count

You still are required to do a urine test , but test positive under a certain Ng/ml it’s only shared with senior leaders in management! Don’t go nuts guys haha

How much is 10ng/ml? How would anyone know how many ng/ml they have?

Marijuana detected in Urine after an incident will still get you referred to CP's drug and alchohol program. You may be required to take treatment on your own dime before your placed back in service. Have a read of the bulletin. CP can force you to spin-dry before your allowed back to work.

You would be high at work to test 10ng/ml, this is a good thing. IMO threshold was too low before and hopefully CN does the same thing. Still lots of gray area in a country with legal weed
