Drug Testing: Is it a good thing to have at Home, School or at the Doctor?

In Washington D.C. today (May 21, 2008), there was a national debate on the issue of Drug Testing. Test kits make it easy for teens and young adults to be tested for drugs at home, school or when they visit the doctor. Many argue that drug testing will help discourage young adults from trying out or regularly using drugs, because there would be an increased chance of getting caught. Others argue that testing kids like this is unethical and will not be effective.

Do you think drug testing is a good thing to have at home, school, or at the doctor? Should we be using test kits to test the ones we love at all? Let us know where you stand on the debate.

    In this day and age it is vital to expose potential issues. I also believe adolescents want to have boundaries. This provides a tangible boundary and gives them an excuse to say no.
