Aviation professionals do all the above just fine without the use of
drugs.
And, for god knows how many times, nobody is advocating that addicts or
chronic abusers of anything be in a position to put others at risk.


Actually, you are indeed advocating a higher risk that addicts and chronic
abusers be in a position to put others at risk. Without drug testing, there
is no way to weed drug users out of the commercial airman pool. Your
position is nothing but an increased risk to air safety. Your justification
of
that increased risk seems to be that the costs of drug testing are not worth
the safety benefits of drug testing commercial airmen. You are mistaken.
