    Even Hondo gets it. When you know you are going to get drug tested don't do any for a few days. This isn't tough to figure out.

    It tested new applicants, who knew they had to be clean before joining the program, right?

    What about for all the others on the program with random screens? Wouldn't that be a more accurate measure?

    This. The Florida program only had a couple hundred fail, but they had a ton more that decided not to continue with the application and had overall applications drop significantly.

    But why bring reality into this...

    So everyone that didn't continue was a drug addict? Couldn't be because they had gotten a job?

    That would be a good thing too.

    You want to get a job you have to drug test at a lot of companies. I was against this when it started happening but the courts ruled you don't have a right to a job so the employer doesn't need cause to search your bodily fluids

    Feel free to provide a source that can at least infer that the overall applications dropped because of the drug test, and not, you know, the recession ending.

    In doing a quick search it turns that courts are ruling drug testing of public assistance users unconstitutional. I guess because its public money.

    I'm against all drug testing.

    I was for common sense drug testing before I was against it.
