When a doctor treats a patient that is a chronic alcoholic, drug user, or tobacco user they must know the truth, face it most people lie to their doctors.

agree with you thinking in post number 22 as what you say is simple fact though I don't agree with the blanket testing . Course i'm older so probably won't affect me SUp ,

great. your values to not dictate an entire countries actions.

They should, since they're the only set of values that work on this AND the other side of Eternity. Though they’re not MY values... they’ve existed for thousands of years.

no they shouldn't....

Decriminalization is like copulating to end love, taking Contac for a cold.

'Is the mistake drug users make always to start over again from ground zero, either going on the drug again or quitting, when what they should do is make it a stopover, to start from the "middle," bifurcate from the middle? To succeed in getting drunk, but on pure water (Henry Miller). To succeed in getting high, but by abstention, "to take and abstain, especially abstain," I am a drinker of water (Michauz). To reach the point where "to get high or not to get high" is no longer the question, but rather whether drugs have sufficiently changed the general conditions of space and time perception so that nonusers can succeed in passing through the holes in the world and following the lines of flight at the very place where means other than drugs become necessary. Drugs do not guarantee immanence; rather, the immanence of drugs allows allows one to forego them....Drug addicts continually fall back into what they wanted to escape: a segmentarity all the more rigid for being marginal, a territorialization all the more artificial for being based on chemical substances, hallucinatory forms, and phantasy subjectifications.

Drug addicts may be considered as precursors or experimenters who tirelessly blaze new paths of life, but their cautiousness lacks the foundation for caution. So they either join the legion of false heroes who follow the conformist path of a little death and a long fatigue. Or, what is worse, all they will have done is make an attempt only nonusers or former users can resume and benefit from, secondarily rectifying the always aborted plane of drugs, discovering through drugs what drugs lack for the construction of a plane of consistency.
....
One does not conform to a model, one straddles the right horse. Drug users have not chosen the right molecule or the right horse. Drugs are too unwieldy to grasp the imperceptible and becomings-imperceptible; drug users believed that drugs would grant them the plane, when in fact the plane must instill its own drugs, remaining master of speeds and proximities.'

With weed legal in many states, have fun with that.

Just because it's legal doesn't mean I have to let drug addicts work for me.

Didn't say you did.

Test me whenever you want for whatever you want. I will pass with flying colors.

I can be randomly drug/alcohol tested at work. Not common in my department but we did have one name come up earlier this year.

This all goes for me too. I have nothing to hide.

God bless you always!!!

Exactly. If there’s nothing to hide, why is it an issue?

We had a job candidate lose an offer several years ago by failing a drug test. I don’t understand how that could ever happen. You know the test is coming, how do you fail the test?

 

[Jarlaxle]

but the goal of having to test for drugs to get necessities in life is NOT a nightmare?

Not at all. In fact it should be SOP for any sort of Government interaction and most employment opportunities. Even better, remember that I consider alcohol to be an inappropriate drug as well.

But you are batshit nuts, so nothing you post is worth anything more than unintentional humor.
