Yeah, that retroactive money is fucking great when they shut your electricity off and there is an $80 charge to get it turned back on. Oh yeah, it's fair. T^T

I don't know why you continue to perpetuate misinformation.

Name ONE, other than some asshole prescription drug that I would never fucking take anyway. T^T

I know you like to think it's all about you, but it isn't. ;)

You are wrong (as usual). Term is right. He isn't right. This includes the drugs that are typically tested as DOA (drugs of abuse), though by no means are they all. As an added caveat, body mass, health status, metabolism, length of use, etc. are factors that WILL affect how long a drug stays in the body.

Oh, another fucking expert, one who has never had any experience. Don't tell me, it shows. You could say "I've drug tested thousands of people" but that means shit, I know the kind of people you tested. Who did what and when. They can't find coke or opiates in about three four days. They don't even test for lysergic, which includes LSD and mesc. They test for pot because that is how they bust you. The idea is whether or not you OBEY them. If you got pot in your piss you did not OBEY them. You might have done it two weeks ago, they don't care. You didn't OBEY them. That is all they care about. You were saying ? T^T

This is so discriminatory its untrue. Instead of targetting the victims of the problem, welfare applicants and the low paid, target the source of the problem, leave tax rates unchanged for those between $20,000 and $1 million euro per year and target those earning over $1 million euro per year on a sliding scale of increased taxes say those on $1 million euro per year pay 10% those on $2 -10 million per year pay 20% extra and those on over 10 million per year pay 50% extra, that would be fairer , but then again the authorities will always allow the super rich to get off scott free , you only have to look at how Wendi Deng, a privileged wife was treated and the News of the World editor was treated, ie pretty much got off and how for example young unemployed people are treated to see the difference in how society views people, with say different eyes, the struggling are punished, the rich no matter what they do are rewarded or at least exonerated, sure its ok we will all pay for their mistakes , they dont have to be accountable to anyone, and Im talking here about the top bankers who speculated recklessly not the desk merchants, oh no, its their bosses im talking about, the bankers sitting at the desk and earning a modest salary, they are not the ones im talking about, its their bosses kevin

I live in a welfare town, quite literally. Social Security, TANF, and General Assistance are responsible for 'paying' the bulk of the income in this area. Far more people receive welfare of some sort than hold jobs. This is not conjecture, this comes from multiple demographic studies by a variety of sources, both government and non. I am also a disabled American who used to be a tax payer. I had an industrial accident, received nothing from Worker's Comp and was wheelchair-bound for some time before teaching myself how to walk again out of necessity. Now that I can walk unassisted (except in the winter, but hey, it snows here), I am trying to get retrained because I cannot go back into my work sector. I believe in being a tax payer and employed. I believe that welfare, in all forms should be limited (though I think there should be added assistance for those people who have no children and are trying to get back to work). I don't believe that people should be able to make a career out of welfare and that the qualifications for things like mental health should be restricted further because mental health diagnosis and care is out of control in this country. (If you were to look at further demographics, you'd notice that most of the residents in my town are bipolar. Which turns a legitimate mental health condition into a freakin' epidemic.) Most of the people on welfare -post edit: in my town- are on drugs. That has also been proven by government and independent studies. (While self-answered questionnaires may indeed be skewed, both of the health groups here release information as part of their HIPAA consent forms.) I know first hand that drug use here is common in the mental health districts, and that people go so far as to let their rent slide in order to purchase drugs with welfare money and that a lot of people will sell their prescriptions for illegal drugs. (Btw, I'm also a criminal justice student and politically active.) That being said, I am enthusiastically all for drug testing and I think there should be a federal law that requires pharmacies to report to PCPs. I think there needs to be more pro-social training courses for people as well, such as cooking classes, comparative shopping lessons, and gardening classes for those on food stamps. --Secondary Post Edit: I also think junk food and energy drinks should be banned from the program because it is not uncommon to go into a convenience store and see an energy drink with a hand written sign below it that proudly proclaims "foodstampable". (Why is that even a word???)-- I think that budgeting classes should be mandatory for people on any form of welfare, and that programs like Section 8 and energy assistance should pay landlords and utility companies directly instead of putting the money in the hands of the recipient. Drug testing results may be dependent on the type of drug used, length of time and tolerance to said drug, the person's body type and biology, however it can work for many cases including non-prescription medication abuse as many medications have a half life and build up in one's system. Smoking pot may be the least offensive, but I do not think that people on welfare should be able to buy pot. Cigarettes, yes. They are legal for the moment. But I would also like to see alcohol (which is more of an epidemic as far as abused substances go) be put on the same chopping block as tobacco (and I'm a smoker). Then again, I think the manufacturing sector needs to be brought back to the US so we have jobs and can stop this so-called 'Cycle of Poverty' because too many people around the country see welfare as an answer.

the top banker who i might add created a generation of welfare applicants through their recklessness which brought down the economy which turfed guiltless individuals out of jobs and allowed the top brass to stay as normal kevin

T^T Actually, Lysergic is related to the tryptamines, such as Psilocin (the active metabolite of Psilocybin, the only phosphoro-amine that I know of that is found in nature that is active in humans. Psilocin is listed as 4-hydroxy-DMT (dimethyl-tryptamine in TIHKaL and is a prodrug, much like heroin and codeine), DMT, and Serotonin. Mescaline is a phenethylamine, much like MDMA ("X"), DOM (STP), and Speed (listed as "M", entry #96, 3,4,5 trimethoxy-phenethylamine, in PIHKaL (hint: google "Trichocereus" species (Peruvian Torch, San Pedro) UDTs (urine) will not pick up most drugs afert 2-3 days; nor will blood tests. Hair testing is more sensitive, and will detect drug use during a longer period, but is uncommon. Sweat testing uses a collection patch, but has the same excretion identification constraints as UDTs. http://archives.drugabuse.gov/NIDA_Notes/NNVol10N5/Sweat.html Hair testing is not done easily (see wilbur's post), nor is it inexpensive. To date, an immunoassay followed by confirmatory GC/MS testing is the Gold Standard. As I mentioned elsewhere, I think Rifampin is helping me burn my oxycodone much more rapidly. I'll find out, as I had a UDT on Wednesday, and I had both oxy and rifampin the night prior.

quote: programs like Section 8 and energy assistance should pay landlords and utility companies directly instead of putting the money in the hands of the recipient. Im not so sure how much you know about the programs in Maine or elsewhere. For instance, section 8 is paid directly to the landlord... even in your state. A housing subsidy is paid to the landlord directly by the PHA on behalf of the participating family. The family then pays the difference between the actual rent charged by the landlord and the amount subsidized by the program. Under certain circumstances, if authorized by the PHA, a family may use its voucher to purchase a modest home. http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/mh/Housing/section-8/eligibility.html Energy assistance is handled the same way. Why would you assume, then write as fact, things that are not true and easily verifiable as not being true? quote: however it can work for many cases including non-prescription medication abuse as many medications have a half life and build up in one's system. Yeah that Advil is so addictive.

quote: ORIGINAL: DeviantlyD Those who have gone through pre-employment testing or random testing for their job would go through a chain of custody collection.

quote: ORIGINAL: DeviantlyD At 30 bucks a test, these aren't chain of custody testing methods. So anyone could bring in a "clean" urine to substitute for their own. I'm not saying that is what's happening, but I don't doubt it has happened. Those who have gone through pre-employment testing or random testing for their job would go through a chain of custody collection. So that is a different means of collection than what the welfare types have to do. What do you consider the difference in the testing? Are you suggesting that a urine specimen collected at your place of employment would be collected differently than at a welfare office? The chain of custody requires that from the moment the evidence is collected, every transfer of evidence from person to person be documented and that it be provable that nobody else could have accessed that evidence. It is best to keep the number of transfers as low as possible. Are you suggesting welfare would allow other people to have access to that evidence?

~FR~ OK, anybody here who thinks this is a scam to support the drug testing industry (which it most certainly is) are now welcome to tell us why such significant portion of you came out of the woodwork to inform us that you had no issue the with minimum wage workers fondling your grandmother's genitals (or mine's either), leaving the "legal" but actually occurring child molestation part of the equation out of it for the moment, in support of the likewise scam of the airport scanners (which it most certainly is).

"I think you're paranoid....by the clinical definition of the word. " You need a clinic. Let me try to explain this for you so even an idiot can understand. You can take your welfare check on the first of the month, spend it all, do cocaine, heroin, LSD, PCP and a shitload of other hard fucking drugs and when they test you on the tenth of the month you will test clean. However if your friend came over on the tenth of LAST month and smoked a joint with you you will test positive. DO YOU UNDERFUCKINGSTAND ? T^T
