5) Was it worth it?

Sure it was. Injuries are down, absenteeism is lower than it was
before we put the testing program in and we get an automatic 5%
discount on work comp.


Thanks for the info. I have friends who are ex-probation officers,
college professors, youth drug and alcohol counselors, etc, so we
talk about this kind of stuff (usually while drinking beer or whiskey
and eating enough barbequed red meat to kill us all.) Definately
interesting hearing different perspectives.

Glad I could add a data point for you. My personal feelings would be
legalize pot. Though I'd apply the same workplace and driving rules on it
that are in place for alcohol. THe additional factor that makes me not
want to hire an applicant that smokes pot is that if they are willing to
break one law they are probably more willing to break others. The same
goes for an applicant with DUI or other alcohol related crimes.


Cannabis is legal in a lot of states for medical!
