More American Workers Are Testing Positive for Drugs

[SilverEagle]

I'd be fine with the results even if "clean" came to mean straight edge. Deal with it.

But you're not fine with the results. You're not clean by your own admission. You'd lose your benefits under the scenario you're proposing. (Incredible self-sacrifice, if true.)

I am clean.

So you don't drink alcohol? You don't drink coffee, tea, or pop? You don't use tobacco?

I'd be fine with it. I'm 53 in a few months, I took a few hits off a pipe at 47 when a friend of mine got tickets to a concert for my birthday... and didn't at all like how I felt after. Prior to that, 20+ yrs?

Took a few percs after hernia surgery 10 yrs ago, they said take 2 that night so I did, one the next morning and one the morning after (it was painful getting up, once I was up and moving I was fine), and didn't use the other 6 (of 10), Tylenol was fine.

Caffeine, different story - 2 cups of coffee virtually every morning. Rarely drink soda pop, I like a root beer with a couple slices of pizza for lunch once in a blue moon, but rare I drink it. Alcohol... I've had a 12pk last me over a month. Usually 3-4 weeks,and usually 2-3 on a weekend when a friend stops over, and rarely during the week (maybe one Friday night)

I'm happy to hear that - congratulations.

WTF?

Do you mean you'd be fine with the results in the same way STA means it? (in other words, that he'd be OK with clean = no mood- or mind-altering drugs at all)

Stop the hysteria. You know that it would be limited to narcotics (especially addictive narcotics that are dangerous for your health and illegal).

If you admit the goal of welfare is to get people out of poverty, and you oppose testing people to get them to treatment facilities, then you obviously don't really want to get people out of poverty.

I take Adderall, fuck the test I'll get positive on it period. As for Caffeine, I think my sig says it all.

I do not drink alcohol and do not use tobacco. I use caffeine, which is not a narcotic, is not illegal, and certainly does not contribute to poverty.

But caffeine is a drug! It is a mind altering drug and is more importantly it is highly addictive. FYI cannabis is not addictive. So you are not clean sir.

You might want to get knowledgeable about what 'clean' means. No mind- or mood-altering drugs. No alcohol, no pot, no amphetamines, no narcotics, no hallucinogens, etc., etc. It sounds like you define "narcotics" as "substances I don't take." If you really mean "controlled substances," that would still open up a door you might not want to walk through.

The 'narcotics' part would be funny if it weren't so sad - cocaine isn't a narcotic. Nicotine kills a lot of people, and is also not a narcotic (or even a controlled substance). People on steroids harm other people sometimes, or themselves (heart attacks and cancer). Alcohol may be the worst drug of all, as far as societal effects go.
