Why should my rights be infringed upon in order to make someone else huge amounts of money? | |

| C. (OP) User ID: 11992429 United States03/09/2012 10:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Maybe I didn't make myself clear. I smoke dope but in very small amounts. In street terms, a nickel bag would last me a month, OK? But that's not even the point, really. The point is that we should not have to submit to this kind of treatment. I would imagine that certain occupations would require this, for sure. For example, doctors and airline pilots. I'M AN OFFICE WORKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or a least I used to be. I hate what America has become. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 2469884 United States03/09/2012 10:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Completely agree with you, OP. It's a gross infringement of privacy. I can see this for people who operate heavy machinery or fly airplanes or fill prescriptions, but I'm an office worker too and there is NO REASON for anyone to know what I do on my off time. What makes it worse is the really nasty drugs -- meth, speed, coke -- are out of your system in days. Stay clean for 72 hours no problem. But really who do you want working for you -- someone who smokes a little of the Good Green Herb in the evenings or someone who spends every weekend tweaking or passed out drunk? It's outrageous, but people buy into the propaganda, especially when it feeds into their racist fears, which is how pot became illegal in the first place. |

Children of the Atom  User ID: 8307936 United States03/09/2012 10:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Why do people so freely go along with "this is just the way it is"? Quoting: C. 11992429 This is just the tip of the iceberg. Very very very few people seem to get what's not right. Instead, they adjust their lives to conform to what they are told is right. Otherwise law-abiding citizens are condemned to limit their job searches to companies that don't restrict their candidates to those who never partake. I'm not talking cocaine or meth or effing heroine. I'm talking pot. What happened to freedom in this country? It is no more. I can't even find a job. I guess maybe I should just come right out and say that it's the criminal bandits making out on the the drug testing thing that's pissing me off right now. Thank you for listening. No one was ever innocent until proven guilty, that was a recent addition to mankind. In fact early man has always been barbaric, primitive and ruthless. Reason was not something many people cared to put substance in. Last Edited by Children of the Atom on 03/09/2012 10:42 PM |

No one was ever innocent until proven guilty, that was a recent addition to mankind. We're supposed to hold that ideal in this country. Of course we've fallen far, far, far from it, if we ever truly practiced it in the first place. Still that doesn't mean we should roll over and take it. |

What about all the prescription drugs that people are making kagillions of dollars on? Let's see............ And how many side affects do they have? Are they tested? No. All because of money. Period. It's all money. It's all evil. I hate prescriptions. Gawd. My mom couldn't even make me take a valium when I was flipping out as a kid. |

| MK_Ultra User ID: 11956710 United States03/09/2012 11:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It doesn't matter if you smoke or not, it's the principle! If I can't smoke pot on my days off, then I am nothing but company property. Sickening!! Nothing is exactly as it seems, nor is it otherwise. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. |

And you chose the pot. It's hard to quit, isn't it? I hope young people will see this thread and resolve to just never get started on the stuff. |

Companies that test and fire for pot also do the same thing for alcohol or unreported prescription drugs. You do not have a RIGHT to their job. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1379749 Are you on dope? Perhaps you are. I would never know because I'm not an employer or a pharm insider. Shall we talk about THOSE side effects, sir or madam? |
