Now its time to get rid of all drug testing. Its unconstitutional and goes against a free republic. It will remain the law till we the people stand up and make it a campaign issue. The time to sand up is now

I have never had to take a Drug Test in my Life.
Recently, the new Obamacare Law requires Drug Testing of Chronic Pain Patients.
The not only test for illegal drugs that you might of consumed in the prior month.
They are testing to make sure the prescribed drugs are in your system.
Recently some Congressman have been passing laws to test Welfare Recipients.
Really? This is the worst kind of Nanny State Big Government Overreach.
Welfare recipients receive very little in the big picture.
Congressman handle our money. The make laws that can ruin lives.
This is a clear violation of my rights as well as my Doctors rights.
After they illegally search my urine...They send me the Bill. WTF?
It's time to immediately Drug Test our Congressmen and Senators.
Then we can move on to our Steroid pumped bald behemoth Law Enforcement.
This is a clear trampling of our 4th Amendment Rights.

If people propose in rage to drug test welfare recipients, it seems quite an obvious priority to make sure our supreme elected leaders, the best among us, are tested as well.

Wow thanks for bringing this to our attention!
I've never been able to stomach pain medicine so this isn't gonna affect me, but it certainly brings lots of questions to mind.
Like, what kind of penalties are involved?
How often are you gonna be tested?
Are they gonna make you bring your pills with you every time you get tested, so they can count them?
What about false positives and negatives, how are they going to handle those?
If I'm injured in an accident, am I gonna have to submit to a drug test in order to receive pain medication?
What if I test positive for THC? Do I just get denied medication, or am I reported to the police as well?
I could go on and on... this is ridiculous.

They charged me $616.00 for violating my Rights.
Barry came to national prominence as mayor of the national capital, the first prominent civil-rights activist to become chief executive of a major American city he gave the presidential nomination speech for Jesse Jackson at the 1984 Democratic National Convention. His celebrity transformed into international notoriety in January 1990, when Barry was videotaped smoking crack coc aine and arrested by FBI officials on drug charges. The arrest and subsequent trial precluded Barry seeking re-election, and Barry served six months in a federal prison. After his release, however, he was elected to the DC city council in 1992 and ultimately returned to the mayoralty in 1994, serving from 1995 to 1999.

They test athletes. Why not test those that actually govern our lives? You know these people have to be on drugs, to make the stupid decisions they make!

None of those cowards could pass a test.
They are praying on the weak now.
How much longer until that cup is placed in front of you?

They now must have a listed pharmacy. All pharmacies are on the same system.
If you get a prescibtion from another Doctor, your Doc has a record of it.
Even if you have medication left from earlier years you can't take them.
The Government did not sneak into my Doctors office. They kicked the door down.
