More drug testing wanted

04 Feb, 2010 08:05 AM
Drug testing in the workplace and of drivers should be increased to ensure our communities are safe and students are not exposed to the danger of drugs.

There is no reason why every person employed in the workforce, especially public servants including doctors, teachers, teachers’ aides, nurses, or carers should not be regularly and randomly drug tested.

Any person employed in any position that involves students or elderly people should be compelled to undergo drug testing.

Sadly, all too often accusations are made but actual reporting to senior management or officials falls by the wayside.

Compulsory drug testing would instantly remove doubts and provide assurance to everyone.

The taking of recreational drugs is more widespread than anyone wants to admit.

Drugs of all varieties are readily available across the region including Yanchep, Two Rocks, Gingin and Lancelin.

Random drug testing should also be compulsory for anyone receiving welfare benefits or driving a vehicle.

All drugs are a hallucinogenic and once taken the person is not capable of responding with normal, acceptable mannerisms.

Is it wrong to expect a drug-free workplace? Wouldn’t a parent like to be assured their child’s teacher is drug-free?

Controversy exists about the invasion of privacy inherent with these tests.

To keep the drug screenings fair, would it be wrong to expect everyone to undergo drug tests? It may appear to be extreme, but the current drug usage and drug related crimes are costing the nation tens of millions of dollars every week.

What do you think? Would you support compulsory drug testing? Have your say.
