I also think the ones that are up in arms about this are the ones taking the drugs. Hi Steve, I think this is especially true if you work at a job where your actions, or lack of, may affect others.

It should also be mandatory to pass a drug test to get a driver's licence as well.

Federal and state laws try to balance employee privacy against the employer's right to maintain a drug-free workplace. Because of concerns for privacy and accuracy, the laws regulating employment drug testing vary considerably between states. Despite the concerns, there is one steadfast rule; drug testing will continue.

The problem is, what tests would you do for which type of illegal drug? There are so many it woud be impossible to test for all of them.

Like you said, we already know they can be almost anywhere, and as long as they're not in your face I'm not at all fussed.

It is because of the fact that drugs can impair your ability to drive that our police treat it the same as DUI! Personally I don't think that people who choose to take social drugs like coke and ecstasy pills isn't a good person, just bloody stupid. Especially when they take it at a social gathering and it ends up killing them. As an employer you are not just protecting your profit margins, you also have a duty of care to your customers and your other employees I understand what you are saying Trey, but using your Pizza guy as an example, what if he came to work under the influence of whatever drug he was taking and then on the way to delivering your pizza his lack of judgement caused him to kill a child crossing the road?
