In America years ago, if you couldn't pass a drug test then you didn't work. So you have no money. Then if you couldn't pass a drug test for welfare then you couldn't get food to eat. Now, it seems, if you or any one you've had contact with don't pass a drug test, you can't have a government subsidized home to live in. If you can't pass a drug test then all your property and money can be taken from you, and you don't even have to be guilty for this one. If your children can't pass a drug test at school then you get to have your lawyer costs, potential jail time, and loss of all your property and children to worry about. If you can't pass a drug test or your children can't pass a drug test, then yourself or your children cant have government funding for an education for a job to have money to buy food to eat, or a home to live in. If you can't pass a drug test when you're on probation or parole, then you get to go to jail or attend a mandatory government sponsored substance abuse program. Why do I still smoke marijuana? Because it's my choice! By the way, I don't remember voting on these laws. As a citizen I want to vote on laws that I have to abide with every day of my life! Let the people vote on marijuana!
