Drug Testing Update

Danny | 03.02.2006 19:49 | Bio-technology

Mandatory drugs testing is prevalent since Reagans war on drugs started. And drugs morality is being 'back-dated' with increases in technology.

Scientists have just developed a way to make magic mushrooms glow in the dark. Without eating them. (  http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn8678 )

Which means they can for test for people who have consumed psilocybins in their distant past and sift them from the workplace. Now, I don't want my train driver tripping, or having tripped recently, but I don't mind if he once ate some at a party to look cool when he was a teenager.

This is a complex civil liberties issue (  http://www.drugpolicy.org/law/drugtesting ) and it affects us all, what with British schools buying drugs testing kits (
 http://www.enfieldindependent.co.uk/news/localnews/display.var.681050.0.drug_testing_kits_on_offer_to_schools.php ).

I reckon if they find start finding athletes with traces of mushroom in their urine then they should be awarded extra points. The only way a shroom head moves quickly is downwards.
