Obama’s New Drug Control Report Calls for More Workplace Drug Testing, Nationwide Zero Tolerance Laws, Prescription-Only Ephedrine Products

(REASON) The first thing you should know about President Barack Obama’s 2012 Drug Control Strategy report is that it begins and ends with the declaration that the war on drugs is working and will continue apace.

Obama administration policies have “yielded significant results,” according to the President’s introductory letter, which concludes by saying, “While difficult budget decisions must be made at all levels of government, we must ensure continued support for policies and programs that reduce drug use and its enormous costs to American society.”

The report ends with a familiar refrain: “Legalization of drugs will not be considered in this approach. Making drugs more available and more accessible will not reduce drug use and its adverse consequences for public health and safety. We will continue to educate young
people and all Americans about the science on the harmful health effects of marijuana use.”

The pages in between those two statements contain a broad outline for increased drug enforcement, mandatory rehabilitation programs for people who don’t need or want them, and the return of melodramatic Reefer Madness-style agitprop aimed at teenagers.

The worst policy plans contained in the report are outlined after the jump.

- The report implicitly blames the debate over drug reform—one Obama recently told Univision he’s more than willing to hear—for increased use of drugs by teens:

One possible influence on this observed trend in drug use and perception of risk is the decreased exposure of youth to prevention messages and the presence of messages and policies that downplay the consequences of drug use. While the Administration supports ongoing research into determining what components of the marijuana plant can be used as medicine, to date, neither the FDA nor the Institute of Medicine has found the marijuana plant itself to meet the modern standard for safe or effective medicine for any condition. The Administration also recognizes that legalizing marijuana would not provide the answer to any of the health, social, youth education, criminal justice, and community quality of life challenges associated with drug use. ...

The only thing more vile than Obongo is his cabinet.

Of course they will. Does a tiger change his stripes? They are only know exploitation by corruption. We have to decide to dis-empower them or we will continue being their victims.

They can start with the police.

Let's start at the top with Him being tested for legal and illegal drugs and alcohol, the work our way down the cabinet chain through the House, Senate, and judiciary. From there start at CEO's and their staff and management, to Police/TSA management all the way down through to the new hires.....Then get to US, the people.

I figure if they do it this way by the time they arrest all the "violators" and fire or imprison them there won't be any left to go after the average citizen.

They can test the police for steroids...

Yes test the worker who pays taxes but god forbid we dare try to test the welfare bastard collecting some of those taxes.

This sounds so republican it stinks. Anyone who says the old way is the best way is clearly not competent. If this is truly Obama's view then he needs to be demoted to a simple republican.

That's not the top. You start by mandatory testing every wall street banker and executive for drugs and alcohol if any of their funds have gone to influence or elect government officials. Every damn one of them. Then you fire their ass if they test positive and sell their assets. If you want to win you better start thinking outside of the box. America is a plutocracy.
