Labs have been able to do this sort of test for years, I guess it was just not FDA approved.

I've had any number of attorneys pitch me with the "it wasn't my client's dope, he doesn't use it, he just happened to be the wrong place at the wrong time" defense. I offer them a deal, have a hair sample of your client tested within 7 days, and if it shows no marihuana (that's how Texas law spells it) I'll dismiss the charges. The attorney goes back to his "non drug using client" with the offer. How many have accepted? None.

I offer them a deal...
So, you're a judge. I'm not impressed, if that is what you were trying to accomplish. You should be able to answer publicly the following questions with aplomb and definitude.
Where does the Constitution allow the government to restrict what a person imbibes or inhales?
If a Constitutional amendment was required for alcohol why is one not required for drugs?
If no person or property were damaged, where is the "crime" and who is the accuser in your "drug cases"? The state? How so? If the state's property were damaged I could see them bringing suit, but when there is no living complaintant...

Will you too say it is in the "general welfare" clause?
Are you a believer in Aslinger's pap too?
Will you even bother answering?

Or are you County Attorney Russell Wilson
“Is this something that will get Wilson and Bexar counties crossways?” County Attorney Russell Wilson asked before the vote.

excellent. now, for the brown shirt. not to mention the factor of second hand smoke, let alone the state asking you to prove a negative, through sodomizing personal liberty....but it is for the good of the people right?

hope they dont outlaw alcohol again, PILSNER.

This might make me a snitch. But I'm surprised no one has taken you up on it. Hair tests are easy to defeat.

You should do your constitutional duty and dismiss drug charges anyway don't worry if your a judge they can't touch you for doing that.
