One In Five High Schools Piss Taste Students

Survey: One In Five High Schools Drug Test Students
September 25, 2008 - Washington, DC

Washington, DC: An estimated one in five high schools and one in ten middle schools engage in some form of student drug testing - including random testing, according to survey data compiled by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and published in the fall issue of Strategies for Success, a newsletter of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP).

"Findings indicate that the number of schools conducting … drug testing may be [approximately] 4,000 - more than double the highest estimates cited previously," the ONDCP reported.

In all, 14.6 percent of all public and private middle schools and high schools now conduct some type of student drug testing, the CDC's School Health Policies and Programs study found. Slightly more than 50 percent of these schools reported conducted random drug testing among specific groups of students.

Of the schools that drug test, 84 percent utilize urinalysis - a method that detects the presence of inactive drug metabolites, but does not have the ability to determine recent drug use or impairment. Fifteen percent of schools employ hair follicle testing, the study reported. Eight percent use saliva testing, and three percent use sweat patch testing technology.

Of the drugs screened for, 86 percent of schools test for the presence of marijuana. By contrast, 75 percent of school drug testing programs screen for cocaine, 50 percent screen for alcohol, and fewer than 20 percent test for nicotine.

Last year the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Council on School Health resolved, "There is little evidence of the effectiveness of school-based drug testing," and warned that students subjected to random testing programs may experience "an increase in known risk factors for drug use." The Academy also warned that school-based drug testing programs could decrease student involvement in extracurricular activities and undermine trust between pupils and educators.

A 2003 cross-sectional study of national student drug testing programs previously reported, "Drug testing, as practiced in recent years in American secondary schools, does not prevent or inhibit student drug use."

A 2007 prospective randomized clinical trial also reported that students who underwent random drug testing did not differ in their self-reported drug use compared to students at neighboring schools who were not enrolled in drug testing programs.

Distortion 10: Current drug policy protects American youth.

Untrue. Current drug policy harms America's young people in many ways.



"The horrors experienced by many young inmates, particularly those who are convicted of nonviolent offenses, border on the unimaginable. Prison rape not only threatens the lives of those who fall prey to their aggressors, but it is potentially devastating to the human spirit. Shame, depression, and a shattering loss of self-esteem accompany the perpetual terror the victim thereafter must endure."

CU Police Return Marijuana To Student By Vanessa Miller
CN Source: Daily Camera September 22, 2008 Colorado
University of Colorado police on Monday returned marijuana to a CU student -- who's a medical-marijuana cardholder -- after officers in May confiscated about two ounces of the drug from the freshman outside his residence hall room. Now-CU sophomore Edward Nicholson, 20, had threatened to sue the university after he said CU police confiscated marijuana that he's legally certified to administer to his brother -- who Nicholson said suffers from chronic, debilitating pain from football injuries.

 

That is sad that they would do that, I thought we lived in America.

Finally - a drug free workforce!

John Consoli wants to get rid of drugs in the workplace, one telephone handset at a time.

Consoli, 67, is the president of On Site, a Spring Hill, Fla., company marketing DrugWipe, a handheld narcotic detector.

Just swipe the DrugWipe against a keyboard or any other surface, Consoli said, and the toothbrush-sized detector can tell whether anyone who has touched the surface in the past 72 hours had drugs in his or her system.

What a wonderful, selfless guy. John Consoli just wants to get rid of drugs in the workplace. We know this because Helen Anne Travis of the St. Petersburg Times tells us this.

Of course, it couldn't have anything to do with the fact that Consoli owns a company that is trying to make money, could it?

A DrugWipe kit costs about $50 and can be used to check 10 to 15 surfaces. Testers must be trained and certified. Training takes a half-day and costs $500. Companies can also hire an On Site professional to test workplace surfaces; prices vary.

The good thing is that we know from reading Helen Anne Travis' article that DrugWipe is 100% accurate. How do we know this? Because president Consoli tells us it's true.

"It is 100-per-cent accurate," Consoli said.

So since Helen Anne Travis is writing this article about this revolutionary change to how businesses deal with human resources, she probably talked to some businesses about this idea...

Pinning down a corporation that used DrugWipe was difficult. Since Consoli is just starting out, he hasn't actually had any clients.

Well then, perhaps Travis shouldn't let Consoli get to third base on the first date.

But let's go back to this notion of certified testers wandering around companies swabbing telephones to collect glandular secretions of past activities.

Hmmm. Perhaps gloves will come back into fashion again.

But... What happened to management? I mean, real, honest-to-goodness management techniques? The kind that values good work? Companies used to hire managers who had the amazing ability to actually observe the work of their employees and discover whether they were doing a good job through that observation, and from looking at the quality of the work produced.

I know it's hard to believe, but it actually worked for a very long time. Perhaps even better than today's modern management techniques of ouija boards, studying employee urine, bundling failed mortgages, and collecting gland secretions with a swab.

Urine Testing Company

After his resignation, Turner joined with Robert DuPont and former head of NIDA, Peter Bensinger, to corner the market on urine testing. They contracted as advisors to 250 of the largest corporations to develop drug diversion, detection, and urine testing programs.

Soon after Turner left office, Nancy Reagan recommended that no corporation be permitted to do business with the Federal government without having a urine purity policy in place to show their loyalty.

Just as G. Gordon Liddy went into high-tech corporate security after his disgrace, Carlton Turner became a rich man in what has now become a huge growth industry: urine-testing.

This kind of business denies the basic rights of privacy, self-incrimination (Fifth Amendment) rights, unreasonable search and seizure, and the presumption of innocence (until proven guilty).

Submission to the humiliation of having your most private body parts and functions observed by a hired voyeur is now the test of eligibility for private employment, or to contract for a living wage.

Turner's new money-making scheme demands that all other Americans relinquish their fundamental right to privacy and self-respect.

The ACLU said that the federal government spent $11.7million to test nearly 29,000 workers in 1990. Only 153 employees flunked, putting the cost of finding each user at $77,000, according to the ACLU.

Citing several academic and other studies, the ACLU says that drug users are not any more likely than their nonuser counterparts to have workplace accidents.
