Yeah... so smart that they generalize and sterotype their "enemy." Anyone ever read The Art of War by Sun Tzu? Big mistake when in a "battle."

I personally will NEVER choose to work for an employer that requires drug testing. Whatever consequence that brings, I am fine with. Any employer that feels they are protecting the workplace by checking to see if people are using substances... and does not do full scale physicals or psychological profiles... is rediculous. I hate the fact that I would be terminated for testing positive due to my using Cannabis, when the person who replaced me could be a raging alcoholic or addicted to prescription medication. So, my logic, if you are choosing to protect the workplace by testing for substance abuse... go all out and research their medical history and do a psych profile too. Make it a 100% no tolerance workplace with weekly testing. It's when these fucking dumbass companies think that they are making a better work environment by suprising employees with UA, that I get really angry. They should say off the bat, "We drug test for everything, a lot, so if you do ANYTHING... this isn't the place for you." In reality, the majority of workers get terminated by testing positive for Cannabis. This allows the employer to fire the worker with no warning and they are not required to issue severance pay. It's an easy fail safe to keep employees turning over, so as to not have to issue raises or promotions. I don't know... it's just sad.

But yeah... to say that toxicologists are "smarter," than people who test positive on a urine analysis is about the most idiotic generalization I have read in awhile. Because also... you can't assume that all people who fail an analysis are "drug addicts," or "abusers." Hmmm... maybe she meant "more prejudice," instead of "smarter?" :thumbsup:
