The Problems With Drug Testing

gallifreyan99 writes: Every drug you take will have been tested on people before it—but that testing process is meant to be tightly controlled, for the safety of everyone involved. Two investigations document the questionable methods used in many studies, and the lack of oversight the FDA seems to have over the process. First, drugs are increasingly being tested on homeless, destitute and mentally ill people. Second, it turns out many human trials are being run by doctors who have had their licenses revoked for drug addiction, malpractice and worse.

I have never, and will never, submit to a drug test. In fact, in the past decade, every single time I have been on the hunt for a new job and on the phone with an HR person, I have been silently practicing my vitriolic rant should they ask.

As of yet, nobody has asked, so nobody has gotten my rant.

People who get paid to piss in a cup for someone elses amusement are called prostitutes, and honstly, I have nothing against honest prostitutes; its only the ones who delude themselves into thinking they are something else that I take issue with.
