I am impressed and really agree that people in this country need to stop the judgementalness in the lack of appreciation of our rights as citizens of this wonderful country. A century ago, doctors were thought of as hacks, not many with proper credentials, etc. and the citizens could purchase many drugs at the pharmacy without a prescription. Dr. Freud was an advocate for cocaine use. Herion and opium were used in literary cicles including the works of Edgar Allen Poe and Robert Browning, and Music circles in the 20's till now (and b4). Even the first president of the United States, grew canibis sativa, or hemp, for maritime ropes. The problem with drug testing is that it is an illeagal search and seizure and does not prove anything-ie. that an applicant uses drugs on the job, and what business is it of your employer to be concerned with what you do off the clock. If the government is giving incentives to corporations in the form of tax breaks, this is clearly illegal and against the constituion. Yes people use drugs. Hell, CVS and Walgreens are putting a drug store on every major street corner adjacent from each other. Its big business. Count the drug adds on prime time TV. It's sickening. Back to drug tests: take THC for instance. It has been reported that this drug can remain in your system for 3 to 6 weeks. Does this prove that the applicant or testee is using the drug on the job? And we are drug testing janitors? An airline pilot or ATC (air traffic controller) I can understand, for I would not want someone stoned flying my plane, but what that pilot does on his/her off time is his/her business. To the trained eye, it is obvious when someone is impaired and I am for those types of tests to be administered to professions where a person cannot be impaired under a substance while perfoming that duty/task, but I am not too worried about someone mopping a floor and being high, or using a pharmeceutical to relieve the pain of back breaking work. This unreasonable policing of other peoples' behaviors' has got to stop! We have accepted that people need releases from life; somtimes just to get in the spirit of things and escape for a while. Some people need to feel free from the pain and agony of many disorders. This does not make one a loser. The stigmatisms associated with these behaviors is judgemental and not Christ like behavior, yet we call them moral judgements, and feel self rightious about picking on the smoker, the alcoholic, the drug addict, the disabled, for we think it rationalizes our behaviors and elevates us to some level, when we are all in bondage to something-some habits may be less destructive than others or take longer for the effects to set in, but lest we forget that over eating, working out, etc. can also become addictions. Why should alcohol, caffine, tobacco, be the only releases offered to people and why do we demonize everyone b/c of their habits or their needs as if we are all doctors, pschologists, and pharm. Think about this the next time we lie about our habit; we judge someone for their habit; we allow a lawyer, judge, legislator determine what is medically acceptable for us instead of those we deem professionals choose what we put into our bodies. I hope a happy holiday to all, and a little less persecution for the New Year!
