Random Drug Testing, would you submit to it?

[banzaimf]

hey good thing they took caffiene off that list noone would have passed!! i totally would on one condition they take blood and i never have to piss in a cup again god do i hate that!!!

There was a (Romanian weightlifter?) gold medal winner that was stripped because he's a nervous whizzer. Could only muster 1/3rd of the required amount of pee, so they stripped the gold for his lack of submitting gold.

As for all the sofa surfin Dr's in the crowd, it doesn't matter what YOU think that the effects of marijuana are, the IOC says no, for whatever reason they feel like.

Those of use living in the real world with real jobs and such already submit to such policies.


Oops, did I just eliminate 90% of the people this was intended to target?

LOL! I am against drug testing except for jobs/sports/whatever where your sobriety directly effects your work. People with CDLs should obviously be sober. I do not think that drug testing "just because" is acceptable. What people choose to do in their free time, as long as it does not affect other people, is their business. I mean look at my user name for chrissakes!

I just flat out wouldnt take it. I WILL NOT work for a place that does not trust their employees. Period. What I do is my business. If my extracurricular activities start affecting my job performance, they might have reason to be concerned.

Except for the fact that they can be held Liable for your impairment.

i dont know what your getting at about the working thing? i have worked seince 15 1/5, fulltime seince 17 while going to school, where i graded early, on honer roll, and i smoked everyday. now work a full time job, own a brand new car, and while i quit smoking weed, and only smoke legal herbs like kilp dagga, i am still aginst the testing. you can pass a liquid drug test for 20 bucks, or the cost a of a case of water, and yes, it does work, i dont remeber the exact amout you hafta drink drink, but once it comes out clear your clean. that is another reason i dont think drug testing for thc at least would even be a good idea, it would just be a lil more of a pita.

Luckily I don't do anything that smoking a little ganja would hurt (BOFH). I know this thread is about athletic testing, that portion just doesnt apply to me. I will never play professionally, so I could really care less. I am not against drug testing alltogether, I am simply against random testing for no apparent purpose aside from your employers/leagues curiosity. If it serves a justifiable purpose, than that is all well and good. Testing just because they can is not acceptable. Got entrapment?

In the military, we do a little thing called "Operation Golden Flow" all the time. If you're strongly against this sort of thing, I wouldn't suggest any sort of government/federal position for you...

Then again, I also have one of the only jobs in which you can be tried twice for the same crime, and aren't able to indulge in a little thing called "freedom of speech". Not that I'm in any way against military service (I wouldn't have served 12 years of active duty so far if I was), but I do think they are a little backwards in some of their policies. Before you ask, no, I don't believe random urinalysis is one of these backwards policies... It definitely has its place in this line of work!
