In reply to the discussion: Maine doctors requiring random drug tests before writing prescriptions for pain pills [View all]Occulus
(20,599 posts)You and I and everyone else here knows goddamned well that this will be used to deny pain meds to pot smokers for starters, and probably right out of the gate. I refuse to believe otherwise unless and until there are written policies prohibiting that application of these tests, and even then, I'll be suspicious as hell of every last denial of pain medication on this basis, full stop.
Stop beating around the bush. ALL drug testing for punitive purposes is wrong and you KNOW that's the hidden agenda here, same as it ever was. If that wasn't the case, the prescribing physician would dole them out pill by pill so unused doses could not be sold at all.
I can't believe supposedly reasonable, intelligent, grown men and women can be this fucking credulous. Then again, stupid people have bought the facially false reasoning (such as it is) behind cannabis prohibition for many decades now and are only just now starting to realize they've been outright lied to, so maybe I really shouldn't be all that surprised that they're buying a false premise yet again.
