Drug testing is a laughable waste of time and money. It is only effective for this one drug and it is the least drug of concern.

One can be an alcoholic, crackhead or meth head and easily pass. Hell, they don’t even have tests for many Rx drugs and entire books of designer drugs. You can be a complete designer dope fiend and pass any random test.

Outlawing all forms of cannabis hemp and drug tests were not about our safety. It was purely about keeping alcohol and pharma profits high even though it is clear cannabis is safer and better in every way.

Of course, what you’re saying is completely false. They have expanded panels, and there are states that publish opioid use.

DOT testing now includes the designer drugs, and since they started drug testing truck accidents are way down.

I’m seeing the most abuse with the legal prescribed opioids.

Cocaine use, is associated with annual costs to employers on average of over $24,000, probably higher, as that’s an old number. theft, injures, loss time, absenteeism, etc.

Marijuana in the end will add additional burden on our society, as did smoking.

Baby boomers grew up with these drugs, and with mood altering pills. And when you have politicians on the drugs, they’re legalized.

Marijuana may not be as bad coke and meth, but it’s not going to result in a positive effect on our country.
