Default Right-wingers wrong on drug testing, too...

Marijuana in your test results is enough to get you tossed off a

True but if you smoke crack on Friday afternoon you will probably
pass the test on Monday.
OTOH if your doctor gives you a prescription for Vicodin you are fine,
no matter what even if you are stoned out of your mind.

That is a real flaw in the drug testing scam.

Most places don't even test for alcohol unless it is an accident
investigation. If this is just a random drug screen, you can be
****faced drunk and pass.

BTW I am surprised you didn't mention the original test law said you
had to be tested in Scott's own lab. That didn't last long.




If you are "stoned out of your mind" or "****faced drunk," you likely
are not going to be allowed to go to or continue your job the day of the
testing. If you repeatedly show up for work that way, you're going to be
fired.

Fla. welfare applicants less likely to use drugs
By BILL KACZOR , 09.28.11, 08:23 AM EDT

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Preliminary figures on a new Florida law
requiring drug tests for welfare applicants show that they are less
likely than other people to use drugs, not more. One famous Floridian
suggests that it's the people who came up with the law who should be
submitting specimens.

Columnist and best-selling author Carl Hiaasen offered to pay for drug
testing for all 160 members of the Florida Legislature in what he called
"a patriotic whiz-fest." Several of the law's supporters say they're on
board.

"There is a certain public interest in going after hypocrisy," Hiaasen
said Tuesday, two days after he made his proposal in a Miami Herald column.

"Folks that are applying for DCF (Department of Children and Families)
money normally wouldn't be standing in that line, and on top of that
humiliation they now get to pee in a cup so they can get grocery money
for their kids," Hiaasen told The Associated Press in an interview at
his Vero Beach home.

Gov. Rick Scott and other supporters of the law - the only one of its
kind currently on the books in the U.S. - say the tests will save the
state cash by weeding out people who would use welfare money on drugs.
Critics say that just a few months after it went into effect, the law
has already refuted the idea that people receiving public assistance are
more likely to use drugs.

Preliminary figures show that about 2.5 percent of up to 2,000
applicants for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families have tested
positive since the law went into effect in July. Another 2 percent
declined to take the test, Department of Children and Families officials
say.

All it really does is prove these people know how to beat a drug test.
On the other hand that is an important skill because you have to take
a drug test for just about any job you might want to have ...
including any job that involves government money.
Are government workers more likely to be drug users? They all have to
take drug tests.


I guarantee you that if the state were using a modern drug test and
proper procedures for running it, "beating" the test would be nearly
impossible.

Your information regarding the validity of modern tests is out of date.


This is the $30 reagent test, not the $150 gas chromatograph test.

Anyone can beat any test by abstaining a while anyway, each drug is
different. The real ugly ones burn out the fastest.

But you said beating a modern drug test is "nearly impossible". You are
wrong, coward.

Looks like there are two Pseudo doctors in the Krause family.


Do you think Dr. Fourchin is giving him this bad information?
