]]> Comment on Proposal: Mandatory Drug Testing for Medicaid Recipients in Alabama by Craig http://www.confirmbiosciences.com/blog/welfare-recipients-drug-testing/proposal-mandatory-drug-testing-for-medicaid-recipients-in-alabama.html#comment-155 Craig Sun, 14 Aug 2011 14:38:30 +0000 http://www.confirmbiosciences.com/blog/?p=600#comment-155 The problem with Alabama's bill, and the problem with the bills that have been introduced in other legislatures, is that it sort of ignores the fact that we're dealing with addicts here. Cutting off medical funding to addicts ignores the real issue here. I would tend to be more supportive of this bill if there were something in it that increases funding to <a href="http://www.drugabusesolution.com/alabama-drug-abuse-rehab" rel="nofollow">Alabama drug rehabs</a>, or requires that Medicaid patients who don't pass their drug testing to go to rehab. Something like that would be step in the right direction to solving Alabama's drug problem.

]]> Comment on Is It Right to Ban Synthetic Cannabis? by Grindalf http://www.confirmbiosciences.com/blog/drug-abuse-laws/is-it-right-to-ban-synthetic-cannabis.html#comment-137 Grindalf Thu, 04 Aug 2011 21:16:09 +0000 http://www.confirmbiosciences.com/blog/?p=431#comment-137 Some would say history never repeats. http://www.slate.com/id/2245188/ John Key says the Government does not beleive there is a place for these substances in New Zealand. The inference is that there must be a place for alcohol. If you show that much prejudice about cannabis type highs, well, I wouldn't put it past them to manipulate the outcome. The media certainly has mainupalated it. Originally at least one media report stated the effects were described as mild apart from the seizure. I have mild epilepsy and if it is about contributing factors, then singling one factor out is a bit rough. Exhaustion, bad sleep patterns, coffee and cannabis contributed to my siezure. Many of the side effects listed seemed like a list of potential caffiene side effects off of the caffiene wiki. You should take a look at the alcohol wiki for comparison. Another thing that concerned me was the amounts that were reportedly being ingested by some. A teeenager smokes a joint and goes 'unconscious' which may have been the deep sleep state from a large cannabis dose known by cannabis users as 'comatose'. A Kronic joint is like $12.50. You can buy a bottle of wine for $8.00. If a teenager drank 1.5 bottles of wine in 10 to 20 minutes, would the outcome be different? I am not an expert on alcohol toxicolgy, but I would guess yes, the teenager may be dead and there would be vociferous calls to raise the age of purchase to 21. All drugs are harmful. Prohibiting them doesn't work and causes massive harm itself as evidenced by the resons why there was the repeal of United States Alcohol Prohibition in 1932. This was a lesson quickly lost 5 years later when Cannabis was prohibited. What do you call someone who does something over and over knowing that it does you harm? Conversely, the free market isn't really the best place for mind altering drugs, especially not unregulated markets. I would trust business people as much as I trust politicians, if only because not too would be naive. So, with the review of the Misuse of Drugs Act coming up, hopefully there will be some objectivity to it which was sadly, but not surprisingly, lacking in this episode of cannabis history. Some would say history never repeats.

]]> Comment on Tennessee Lawmakers Push Drug Testing for Welfare Recipients by Tired of paying taxes for welfare breeders http://www.confirmbiosciences.com/blog/welfare-recipients-drug-testing/tennessee-lawmakers-push-drug-testing-for-welfare-recipients.html#comment-125 Tired of paying taxes for welfare breeders Mon, 25 Jul 2011 04:23:00 +0000 http://www.confirmbiosciences.com/blog/?p=22#comment-125 I think drug testing is a great idea. You take a drug test for employment. Why should people receiving welfare be exempt? Give them a free meal ticket to continue their addictions and bad behavior at our tax dollar's expense? We now have third generation welfare breeders who will not work or take an initiative to be responsible in society. I am all for a work first program. Seems cheaper to send someone to college and give them two years maximum of welfare benefits than paying for three generations to draw a government check to breed and not be responsible for their choices. At some point all resources will be exhausted and nothing will be left for anyone if this mindset continues. How long will the tax paying people have to endure this leech on society?

I don't disagree with the initial idea of drug testing those who receive welfare however; no one has taken into consideration the "welfare" of the children. Not everyone who will show positive for marijuana is guilty of neglecting their children by selling their food stamps for drugs. Cocaine, crack, meth, pills I can understand the concern, but even then why not offer treatment first before eliminating the benefits altogether. This is only going to cause crime to rise to even higher heights, an increase in the number of children who become property of the state along with more drug and alcohol abuse. I'm just wondering if this has been though through in it's entirety because I believe this is gonna cause more harm than good. My question is this….what about the children?
