Drug Law
Re the federal “smoke a joint, lose your license” law, March 20: First we alienated illicit drug users from a large portion of the job market through random drug testing. Now we take away driver’s licenses, further restricting their ability to hold a job. Then we can say, “Drug users are unemployed freeloaders who don’t want to work or be productive members of society.” That’s like denying a man an education, then saying he is stupid.
