I'm somewhat on the fence about the whole drug testing thing. Since when did medical professionals blur into law enforcement? It seems to me that any adult deemed competent should be responsible for the medication, whether prescribed or self-medicating, s/he takes.

I have never self-medicated in any way, so maybe I'm naive but....seems like the whole anti drug abuse thing is a lot more about politics than it is about practicing good medicine. And, as most of us know, a medication that is 'the latest designed med' today can suddenly become the scourge of the medical profession tomorrow (witness benzos).

However, if I was asked by my MD, case worker, etc. to take a drug test I would comply just to prove cooperation.
