I think it's already been said that drug tests identify the compounds that are created by the chemical reactions to the drugs used, whether prescribed or not. In that case, I hope there are no false positives, but it wouldn't be impossible for there not to be. Another reason to worry, perhaps more of concern to those on medication, rather than those who are pursuing leisure interests.
Sith - Yes, 'elf and safety is not a plot to make money, granted. We all know of the dangers, too, and hopefully have been told of the occasions where things went sadly wrong. And - quite, the rules are clear and should be common sense ones. They usually are, but christ there are times when you actually are following rules which make it more dangerous to work than less so - sorry to harp on again, but the permanent wearing of safety goggles demanded on some sites is beyond reason. There are times and places to wear them, and that's worked out by common sense observation and sense, not by some mindless diktat. I could go on and mention other instances of daftness, but it's been said before, and there's very little that can be done about it. Sometimes I entertain the bizarre thought that these days there are a generation of people who are quite happy to follow rules without actually understanding what they're for, and where they might be improved, just as long as they can give orders - but as I said it's a bizarre thought.
