The war on drugs is chronic, and people use drugs as a vice, more often than anything else. As long as there is a huge market for drugs, there will be suppliers. POINT: Not just the unemployed should be subject to drug testing, but teachers and ALL staff IN schools should be randomly drug tested. I have been in education for 9 years, and have never understood WHY the administrators and teachers are not subject to mandatory drug testing!
