Everyday at work , millions of people turn up , affected by one or more drugs!
I'm annoyed at having to tip-toe around addicts in the workplace , and the
only answer , is mandatory drug testing at work - no exceptions .
This would put a huge dent into the drug trade , and lead to less medical
issues and crime .
Why won't Governments do this ? - short answer - it's a conspiracy .
p.s gotta go to work now - drug free - and happy ,
will be back later to see your response !

Everyone here is missing the point....the OP did not say EMPLOYER, he said GOVERNMENT. The employer has all the rights in the world to impose whatever they want as long as it is fair and equal to all. If you choose to work for them you have to abide by their ground rules, period.
Now, to the point of "it's none of their business what I do in my personal time".....your right, quit and find another job or better yet, start your business and hire all the potheads, crackheads, prescription drug junkies and drunks you want. As an employer, you have responsibility for the whole employee base and your customers. It's a different world, not a me, me, me world, so different rules apply.
Peace

WOW.....that sure was a mouth full. I can not believe my eyes. First, in a democracy, the majority rules. That would give the employer the right, for he is the majority owner. Your talking more of a socialistical utopia. Where everyone lives in peace and harmony. Pipe dream my friend.....if you want your good ole USA back the way it was, you'll have to take the good with the bad, grab your boot straps and take responsibility for yourself.
