...Legalizing drugs actually dramatically decreases the cost for society as far as health care. In Vancouver they have a safe injection site which has had a very dramatic and positive effect on aids and hep rates as well as crime. Heroin and cocaine are not that harmfull by themselves ,it is the dirty needles and horrible lifestyle that causes most of the health issues. Most heroin and cocaine users hold normal jobs and are not addicts. It is a multi billion dollar industry. Homeless people do not have billions of dollars.


I am all for pee tests where someone is doing a job where they would be putting other people at risk like truckers ,air traffic controlers etc. But not where there is not a physical risk. People should be judged by how they do their job not what they do on their free time. Already there are company's with ninsmoking policy's that test their employees and fire them for doing something perfectly legal on their own time. It is only a matter of time before employers who are vegatarians or antigun nuts start testing and firing employees for what they do in their free time.


I usually avoid discussions like this on the net (particularly BF) because some people are so angry and bitter that anyone with a different view(and mine is quite different) is attacked. I think it shows what a great place this is that we can all have totally different opinions yet still be friends. Good Show.
