Most types of drug tests fail to detect alcohol abuse – the most commonly abused substance among Americans – and are most likely to detect marijuana use since the active ingredient in marijuana stays in the body’s system longer than any other illicit substance. Therefore, drug tests often fail to identify people who are using more powerful, more addictive and more dangerous drugs like methamphetamine or cocaine, which exit the body’s system in a matter of hours or days.

Almost just like I said.

I really don't believe this but, when I'm pissed off, I think...

If they are gonna drug test certain people who receive checks from the government, they should test ALL the ppl who get checks. Every single worker, who works at a place who has a gov. contract. Every teacher, cop, senator, the pres., etc.

Sure would open up the job market.

I'm not a pilot but that's what my employer says also. Where does it end?
