So, what next? My mother is going to legally be allowed to check my g/f's vagina for semen to make sure I've been wearing a condom simply be because SHE doesn't TRUST me?
I believe it's not in the employeers priority to test employees for drugs. If you let more and more companies do things like this, not only does marijuana become less and less accepted in society but it becomes a modern day witch hunt. Punishment would worsen for marijuana "crimes" in a society like that.
I really disagree with testing for marijuana in the work place, unless there is hard evidence that it actually is effecting the work of the people in question. It's overstepping the boundary of trust between people that you just have to have in a functioning society. |
but you can't stop employers from checking, at least it would be really hard because they are private companies that hire there workers, the workers are there because they choose to be and therefore subject themselves to the rules of the contract. It would be hard for a democratic nation to stop them from testing if they want because it would be hard to establish that the government has the authority to tell the companies to stop.
