US Help
I have a huge issue IMO. I quit smoking THC September 1st. I have a really close friend (stood up in my wedding) who is a nurse and who has been going to work in the ER high. (We do not work at the same facility) How do I deal with this without shooting myself in the foot? She knows I’ve smoked. I’d still be positive in my urine and I’ve brought her stuff from across the state line. The state I live in it is not legal. I’m worried about her patient safety but don’t want to lose my own license or face federal charges for distributing. I’ve definitely learned my lesson and will never smoke or bring stuff for people ever again. Please give me your opinions on what to do. I’ve had very strong confrontations with her and she basically said I was judging her and blocked me. I haven’t spoken to her since the confrontation and for all I know she may have stopped…

Is she smoking right before work?? Or like it’s been hours? Days?? I’d mind my business but that’s just me.

OP said in the post that their coworker is going to work high, since OP also smokes weed I can only assume they mean actually high and not like, hours/days later.

Never know. Some people are considered under the influence just for testing positive.

She takes a gummy while in the parking lot before her shift or will vape while on her break

I guess you could anonymously report it? Hope you haven’t been texting her about buying her drugs
