DRUG TESTING IDEA REPREHENSIBLE

Re: Drug testing before cheques, by D'Arcy M. Leader, July 29.

As a federally licensed medical marijuana user who is also married to
one, I find D'Arcy M. Leader's suggestion reprehensible in the extreme.

Not only is it unworkable, it is counterproductive as it would
actually stimulate crime.

The suggestion demonstrates a profound lack of understanding of how
addiction works and what it is like to struggle under said
circumstances.

It is also unconstitutional. I suggest D'Arcy M. Leader move to
Florida. In fact, I would insist. Ontario doesn't need his type.
