Youre right Tony, there was not the exact verbiage of “mandatory drug tests” However, there was verbiage of *having doctors screen for drug use* Is this a much different thing? Nice try quickly deflecting this verbiage that if from the Bush admin would make the progressives heavily question it.

No Help to Quit Drug Addiction?
Question by Mary: No help to quit drug addiction?
I’ve noticed something quite serious. There is absolutely NO help for anyone who needs discreet help in quitting a serious drug addiction. Google it. You’ll see. You have to sort through the countless websites telling you how disgusting and pathetic you are, how you must involve everyone in your family to overcome your mistakes and live a drug free life. And if you don’t have money, well, you’re really up the creek. It’s not so bad for smokers, that’s “not your fault”, not so bad for Alchoholics, it’s a “disease”, again, not really your fault. But drugs? You are the scum of the earth and you must allow society to pound you into the ground before you even attempt to get help. It IS your fault, it’s a choice. Yes, it WAS a choice, and yes, you KNOW you made a huge mistake. You see all of these centers advertised showing a resort-like setting and how “you too, can live a drug free life”. If you use your insurance, it becomes public knowledge that you’re one of these “scum”, and if you try to enter one of these “free” in-patient detox centers, you have to be arrested first or be on a waiting list so long the drugs will probably kill you in the meantime. How much money is spent every year on helping the FAMILIES of those with addiction? The advice to the “loved ones” is quite extensive. What about the addict? Not the criminal, never been arrested, just someone who really needs help, but for their own reason, without the ability to share with the world their serious life-threatening problem? You are in it completely alone. Your family is so against drugs that you will NEVER to one of the family again if they find out. No, I’m not being dramatic, there are people out there like that.
Try this…pretend you are a Grandmother, a good person, successful and working your entire life until disability happened. You got into a serious drug to help your disability and cannot quit. You are dying. Your hair is falling out, you’ve got numerous medical problems now. You’ve never been arrested, you’ve never stolen anything or comitted a crime to support your habit. You’ve moved away from your family to keep them from seeing you like this. It’s ruining your relationships because your not there and family thinks that you do not seem to care….although you do, with all of your heart. The drug is stronger than your heart. You know you are disgusting.
In a perfect world, someone would come up with a “reason” you could tell your family why you won’t be able to answer your phone for 4 to 6 weeks, you would go to a resort setting where the doctors and nurses first get you healthy, then teach you coping techniques to keep you drug free. And it’s all paid for by private donations from those who understand the seriousness of the drug problem facing us today. Oh….and it’s 100% discreet. When you return from your secret “trip” you are drug free, alive and happy again. The fantasy 6 week vacation you went on made your family smile and say, WOW! Where in the heck did you go? You look fantastic!
Yeah, right.
I know I’ll regret what’s coming….but what are your thoughts?
Teens on Drugs?
Question by coolshorty_4life: teens on drugs?
what are some of the consequences for teenagers being on drugs and getting high?? what are the side effects? what’s the main influence on teen drug use? what certain age group uses drugs the most and why?
Best answer:
Answer by sharon17
well i believe the number one consequence of teens being on drugs and getting high is DEATH. That is certainly a problem if you plan on actually living past your second decade. Drug abuse kills plain and simple. Even if it doesn’t kill you right away, it kills your brain cells, your plans for a happy life, your relationship with other people, since drugs are your best friend, how do you think you are going to relate to real people?
