They should also test the members of the North Carolina legislature as well. Just b/c you wear a suit or a dress doesn't make living off the taxpayers dime any more noble.
To me that is nothing more than a gotcha moment. People working in the legislature are "working." They are not receiving government benefits designed (theoretically) to get them on their feet and back to being productive members of society. A legislative rep toking up on a camping weekend isn't costing me anything.
To me drug use such as pot isn't my concern, unless I'm paying for your benefits, AND you are not producing anything of value. THEN it's my concern because if you have time $$ for drugs, you should have time and $$ to improve yourself instead, and get on your own feet. THEN you can use drugs on your own dime, not min.
North Carolina has a debt of $55 billion and counting. It doesn't seem like they are doing too much work other then spending money they do not have. I still remain wary of this program, if the numbers prove me wrong than I will support drug testing program. We'll see...
