EASE ILLEGAL DRUG USE BY TESTING ON THE JOB

Zirin has the right idea about addictive drugs. However, we should go one 
step further. We should decriminalize drugs and provide treatment. This 
approach has been an outstanding success in Switzerland. It costs far less 
than the police approach. It takes the vast profits out of illegal drugs. 
It works. The only one hurt is the prison guards union.
