[Epona]

I'm quite appalled by these proposals.

Drug testing in workplaces increases absenteeism because people are more likely to stay off work after a fun weekend if they fear testing positive. Weed can be detected in a urine test up to 30 days after use, and in a hair test it will be detectable for months. In other words, long after any effects which may affect performance have worn off! It's a huge intrusion into your personal life by people who have no business doing so.

As far as testing kids goes, sure why not treat all kids like criminals and persecute them instead of looking at reasons for poor performance of schools (which is what this is about primarily) - how about tackling poor diet for example.

You are not going to stop recreational drug use. Live with it. Legalisation and education instead.
