I Live In America And Hate America

Requiring a drug tests for initial employment is the DUMBEST idea ever. Companies that try to enforce this aren't worth a damn, meanwhile they are ruining the economy by discouraging good potential employees. Unless the job requires driving or the operation of heavy machinery.

What is the point of a drug test.There is none. A drug user is either going to decline, cheat the test, or just go right back to using drugs immediately after passing. Therefore the test is a waste of everyone's time, money, and effort.

Also requiring a drug test creates a bad impression that the employer assumes the candidate has been a drug user, when believe it or not some people have actually been clean and sober their whole life. Proving your drug free is impossible, the technology doesnt exist yet. Also even a person who has been drug free his whole life can suddenly start doing drugs again or vice versa a heavy drug user could decide to go completely clean so requiring a test is prejudice and judgemental, goes against everything we are supposed to believe in. There is no justice in america we are a morally bankrupt society that hates on each other, scams one another, and distrusts everyone.

They do random drug tests where I work. Many have been fired for being on drugs. One individual that worked with me alcohol turned up on his test. He was a fork lift driver. They fired him over it even though he was under the legal limit. We also know he was on prescription drugs that do not mix with alcohol.

@Confined Good, he deserved to be fired. they should hire someone who isnt on drugs or alc in his place. There are too many clean and sober people that need jobs and too many drugies that ruin it for them.
