Comments on The Drug Czar Must Be Feeling Pissy

$36.1? Boy, that'll go a long way.

Tell the ONDCP to spend their money in Afghanistan, where the source of the drug problem is.

The source of any drug problem is where the drugs are demanded, not supplied. And if the problem is in schools, as the ONDCP would argue, then they should stop spewing their failed just-say-"no" rhetoric and exaggerating of the harms of drugs. That's not working. Instead, the ONDCP should provide science-based education about the *actual* harms of drugs, how to use drugs more responsibly if kids do choose to use drugs, and how to quit or reduce drug use if they' are abusing drugs. That would reduce drug abuse in schools.

Will, you really are retarded. None, or practically none, of Afghanistan's copious opium and hashish ever make it to US users, they're going to Iran and Europe. Americans get their heroin from Mexico and South America.

the source of the drug problem is the drug war. period.

I concur! The idea of random drug testing rubs me wrong EVERYWHERE.

Not to mention drug testing is very expensive. Hiring additional (or any) counselor(s) could go a lot further in keeping these kids healthy.

Wow, a rational, non-frothing at the mouth, non ass-covering political decision by "the authorities" regarding the rights of high school student to not be subject to random searches of their body fluids.

How refreshing--kudos to the Supremes!

Funny how many double negatives it takes to even comment on this issue in this day and age.
