Testing Employee Urine for Fun and Profit

Want an exciting job in the growing field of DRUG TESTING???

Listen to this!






Today California passed a law to ban drug testing for Marijuana use. That's one small step for white America, but NO STEP AT ALL for blacks.

California should outlaw all drug testing, unless it is searching for IMPAIRMENT.

Drug testing today is not searching for impairment. Drug testing today is an extrajudicial fishing expedition to find mere traces of substances of which politicians disapprove. Employees can lose jobs, and potential employees can fail to get jobs, NOT because they're impaired, but merely because lab techs have found traces of demonized substances in their system (the kinds of substances that have inspired entire religions, as the Soma medicine inspired the Vedic-Hindu religion, the Mayans venerated magic mushrooms and the Inca considered coca to be divine). Drug testing is an extrajudicial fishing expedition in the most intimate of all places: one's own body.

Big business today is actually drug-testing Americans as a kind of stealth contractor for the US Government, checking to see whether Americans have been naughty or nice as those terms are hypocritically defined by Christian Science conservatives (that is, politicians who are motivated by the Christian Science belief that drugs may be called bad without regard for how, why or when they are used).

Not only is this extrajudicial punishment, but it is cruel and unusual punishment to deny a person the right to get a job in America. We do not even punish murderers in that way.

And yet the worker thus barred has no right to appeal, for the Kafkaesque reason that they have never actually been charged with a crime. They have just been "written off" as a money earner by a wink-and-a-nod from the anonymous powers that be.

Wake up, Californians: Outlaw all drug testing, unless it is searching only for demonstrable impairment, and not for mere traces of substances that have been demonized by pharacologically clueless politicians.

Drug Testing






Drug Testing is an anti-American attack on freedom. It destroyed the 4th Amendment to the US Constitution. Its existence means that enemies of the drug war are not allowed to work in the United States of America. That is cruel and unusual punishment, especially when you consider that it's handed down, not by a court, but by a faceless process that has been outsourced by the government to American business.

Sure, it is acceptable to test for actual impairment in certain well-defined situations, but that is not what drug testing is about these days. Drug testing is all about rooting out good workers who happen to use substances about which colonialist politicians disapprove. It is so manifestly evil from a freedom-loving point of view that one scarcely knows how to begin arguing against it. But it's apparently what the drug warriors want: they want to leverage our fear of drugs to destroy American freedoms. They've destroyed the 4th Amendment with drug testing. Meanwhile our religious rights are being trampled by DC bureaucrats who absurdly claim to know whether our religions are "sincere" or not. And Oregon pols launched a plan in early 2024 to outlaw free speech about drugs.

WAKE UP! Drug testing and the drug war in general is all about destroying American democracy -- and democracy around the world, while we're at it. It is Christian Science Uber Alles -- even if the vast majority of drug warriors have never even heard of the drug-hating religion of Mary Baker Eddy.

    Some Tweets against the hateful war on drugs

    Americans heap hypocritical praise on Walt Whitman. What they don't realize is that many of us could be "Walt Whitman for a Day" with the wise use of psychoactive drugs. To the properly predisposed, morphine gives a DEEP appreciation of Mother Nature.
    In fact, that's what we need when we finally return to legalization: educational documentaries showing how folks manage to safely incorporate today's hated substances into their life and lifestyle.
    Americans think that fighting drugs is more important than freedom. We have already given up on the fourth amendment. Nor is the right to religion honored for those who believe in indigenous medicines. Pols are now trying to end free speech about drugs as well.
    The Partnership for a Drug Free America should be put on trial for having blatantly lied to Americans in the 1980s about drugs, using our taxpayer money to do it!
    I'm looking for a United Healthcare doctor now that I'm 66 years old. When I searched my zip code and typed "alternative medicine," I got one single solitary return... for a chiropractor, no less. Some choice. Guess everyone else wants me to "keep taking my meds."
    Reagan paid a personal price for his idiocy however. He fell victim to memory loss from Alzheimer's, after making a career out of demonizing substances that can grow new neurons in the brain!
    As great as it is, "Synthetic Panics" by Philip Jenkins was only tolerated by academia because it did not mention drugs in the title and it contains no explicit opinions about drugs. As a result, many drug law reformers still don't know the book exists.
    "Drugs" is imperialist terminology. In the smug self-righteousness of those who use it, I hear Columbus's disdain for the shroom use of the Taino people and the Spanish disdain for the coca use of the Peruvian Indians.
    Brits have a right to die, but they do not have the right to use drugs that might make them want to live. Bad policy is indicated by absurd outcomes, and this is but one of the many absurd outcomes that the policy of prohibition foists upon the world.
    Rick Strassman reportedly stopped his DMT trials because some folks had bad experiences at high doses. That is like giving up on aspirin because high doses of NSAIDs can kill.
