It's a shame that you can get drunk as a skunk and suffer little or no repercussions but smoking weed can get you fired. This is very hypocritical because I believe that alcohol is a far worse drug.

I agree with you Ms. Sinclair, in that weed is a less harmful drug than alcohol. When I was 16, my mother was dying of cancer, and I saw firsthand how it even helped her gain an appetite during chemotherapy. She was a woman who had never even smoked a cigarette, yet I saw firsthand how it was capable of allowing her the ability to eat without feeling nauseous. Yet, almost 40 years later we are only beginning to allow people to use it medicinally. Too bad our laws are so ill-focused, and we as a society are so slow to change our laws to be more effectual. I can understand the mindset of drug-testing also, as companies use it to keep people with lifestyles they fear, from being directly in control of their stock or services provided. In the instance of airplane pilots, train operators, air controllers, and truck drivers...for the sake of safety we are better off with people who are tested and proven to be drug-free though. Sometimes booze can be a really bad choice for certain individuals. But, in the instance of someone asking how to beat a drug test...it just makes me want to ask them why they'd want to leave themself so susceptible to the system taking away their income and a means to support themselves or their family. But, I do agree with you Ms. Sinclair.
