Employers can’t fire someone who is on a legal medication prescribed by a doctor. Good grief people.

Do a Google search on DOT drug testing and Non-DOT drug testing to see the items tested.

People do not have to abuse legal medication and still be looked down on. Let all employers drug test everyone and fire people because now they know what meds you are on. You know meds do change the way people can do their jobs.

Is it not okay for an employer to determine the hiring standards of employees? If an employer wants to drug test, so be it.

It would be up to the individual to decide whether or not to 1) submit to a drug test for employment; 2) look for an employer who doesn’t do drug testing; or, 3) don’t do illegal drugs or abuse legal ones.

I don’t know, sounds simple to me.

Wow you know whats messed up about this is that when they start drug testing all the ADHD meds are going to show up and then your employers are gonna think people have problems maybe even some other psch. meds I dont have a problem being tested but how will they use this against people. How about pain meds will they think people have problems they might use against their employers. Its not that testing is a bad thing its just that some stuff you just shouldnt have to let the world know even if its for welfare people are state workers.

Why stop with us, your state workers Mr. Scott? I say why don’t you have the police go door to door and round up all our the Florida citizens and do drug tests for everybody! We don’t need anybody to live in this state that may test positive for any type of drug. You are already running off long time Floridians, cutting out our benifits every chance you get, lower our pay when we haven’t had a raise in over 5 years, cutting back staff to make DOC jobs more and more dangerous, and no telling what else is rolling around in that evil head of yours. Drug test everybody as soon as possible, just make sure you and your corrupt cronies are in front of the line. By the way, I love the way he portrays hisself as someone trying to help the state for working for a dollar a year when he is setting up this state to line his dirty pockets when he is out of office cuz he knows he isn’t getting reelected, he does’t care. The 78 million he spent on his campaign will be a great investment for him.

REGARDING:
“The American Civil Liberties Union of Florida, however, said Scott was backtracking from the drug-testing plan.”

The governor said he wouldn’t implement the law until certain the federal court agreed it is lawful. The ACLU is griping about him waiting?

It’s the ‘Sandbox Theory’:

If you play in someone’s sandbox, you play by their rules; if you don’t like the rules, change sandboxes.

I like it; test them all. Why not? Many employers drug test employees.

Chill debugger no ones saying you cannot do drugs, they are just saying if you want to do drugs go work somewhere else. Im all about constituional freedoms, no one is sticking a gun to your head demanding a urine sample. I would suggest you focus on your work now so when retirement time comes you will be ready. I promise you drugs will still be here when you retire, and and as far as the coming police state, gold is over $1500 an ounce, It takes money to operate a police state. I do not think we have the credit line.
