[QUOTE="CHenry, post: 1620857, member: 6281"] I would argue that THESE are the wisest words posted in this thread. I too am on the Gov. dole, as an ODOT employed individual its your tax dollars paying my salary. When I started 20 years ago, drug testing was not part of policy but it is today as well as random testing. Also If I'm in any accident in a state owned vehicle, I automatically get to give a blood sample that same day. Is this wrong? Is this prying into my personal life of shorting some blow while I'm at home and not at work? No, its not. Its a tool to help insure "quality professionals" are being paid by the tax paying citizens of OK. I chose to work here and those are the terms of my employment. If I wanted to quit and hang out my shingle and become self employed so I could smoke a bowl at home (or on the job for that matter), thats my choice. I choose to not do drugs and keep my current job and I have absolutely no problem with the same policy being applied to any individual receiving tax dollars be it for employment or assistance while your ass gets out and beats the bushes for work rather than sitting on the couch getting high everyday at my expense.
