    Missing the real trick... Reducing the unemployed percentage by employing more testers.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    If some of the unemployed are unemployed because of drug use, why not have more drug clinics and treatment facilities... so that they can work again?

    No. This is America! The poor must remain poor.

    Considering they send people to rehab for cannabis and weed is the number one "drug" that causes people to fail a drug test, this is a terrible idea and a waste of money.

    I like the idea, as long as we also drug test all government employees to include Congress, and while we are at it we can drug test recipients of corporate welfare, too

    I agree. And all testing must be to Army standard. I need to see the urine leave your body. Everybody.


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    Which drugs, and what dose in the body? Minor levels of opiates could indicate I was smoking opium a week ago or I had a poppy roll for lunch. Amphetamines could indicate a speed habit or recent use of some types of decongestant.

    There will be many cases where things are very straight forward, but it is what to do with these borderline ones. The same thing can be seen in Athletics where athletes will state that the positive result was due to an innocuous source. Proving that this is bull is tough.
