Wow...that's a serious test...some day everybody will be using it.


Good thing I'm self employed. My problem with these tests....


If someone is using drugs while at work, I think I want to know. If someone is using cocaine, they might be more apt to steal than a pothead,(unless the job is in a bakery!!!) and I might want to know this too.


But if someone smokes pot on the weekends, and doesn't show up to work stoned, I don't see why they should be discriminated against. I don't think someone who drinks a case of beer over the weekend, will be fired, or not hired.

I agree........ IMO pot should be legal.... Yesteryear.........

Once they get hired there is no further testing after that it does not do much to address anything after that.........

Let's not resort to shameless anti-drug propaganda. He doesn't have the disease because his mother did drugs, he has the disease because his mother did drugs while pregnant.

Regarding the random drug testing idea: Not bad, although maybe a social program would be better? Something like, a friend could notice the drug problems and notify the correct organizations. The friend could even be given some kind of reward money, potentially, which could possibly be paid out of the drug abusers pocket (sooner or later), sparing tax-payers the burden of being punished for the irresponsible behavior of others.

Paying ppl to rat on their friends is a bit nuts........... You been watching those bush infomercials again??? lol


IMO if there is no prohibition against private use of these tests I see no reason for a public one..........

Even in this country the unborn have some rights...... @ what point does a parents actions or irresponsibly become the problem of the state??? One month?? One years old???
