It was amusing when one politician who proposed that welfare and perhaps others getting government handouts be drug tested when that politician himself was doing a quite a bit of drugs himself
Im not sure about that, having a drug habit is NOT cheap at all, heroin and cocaine are more expensive than gold by the gram!
They will never crack down on the flow of drugs into the country, they rely on a steady flow so they can continually justify the drug war, if the supply stops, law enforcement seizures dry up, drug arrests dry up, less convictions, less cells being occupied, etc.
Heroin is very cheap...that's why we have an epidemic
Seriously, they have the most power in the country, shouldn't politicians beyond every other job be required to do say, weekly drug tests? I would be around 90% of our politicians are regular users of crack, heroin, or meth.
Yeah...just what American needs. More drug testing.
Thank you. I don’t know why anybody supports mandatory drug testing, the ultimate infringement on someone’s privacy. Identifying and prosecuting people for drug use has never put a dent in drug abuse. People are going to use drugs, for some it will be a huge problem; for others, not so much. Treatment should be where resources are spent. Approaching drug abuse as a criminal problem achieves nothing other than lining the pockets of privately owned prison corporations, lawyers and those who profit from our dysfunctional prison institutions. Our elected Congress represent the values of the people who vote for them so, next time you complain about your corrupt and amoral Congressman take a good long look in the mirror.

first of all, nowhere near 90% are regular users I am guessing and simply on more than any other job. Why not routinely test teachers? They are the ones who help form our children's minds? I have to say, I doubt you are in the majority on this
Why not test them all for alcohol to see if they show any residue from the night before, or make their physicals public knowledge even including the condition of their livers? We could go on and on. If there is reason to believe a congress person is using drugs or even too much alcohol, vote him out.
