And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them.

I would get drug tested if I am injured on the job.

Colorado just legalized pot, so there will be some intersting lawsuits I believe. Company also tests new hires.

been that way for me since 1997. Promoting drug addiction during a “recession” marked by chronically high unemployment probably isn’t a wise thing. drugs tend to make people not want to go to work.

Was already overturned in Fla, I believe.

There are some real problems with the proposal including false positives and no affordable test for some commonly abused substances anyway.
