Bush administration is prying into your medical records in violation of the law
We learned yesterday that the Bush administration has created a database of every single prescription drug user/patient in the country (that would pretty much be all of us). The database was created pursuant to a 2005 law that was intended to prevent the abuse of prescription drugs. Funny that this massive new database of your private medical information is now being (ab)used for a purpose that wasn’t intended in or approved by the law.

Reynolds (Camel, Salem, Winston cigarettes), as well as pharmaceutical firms Bristol Meyers-Squibb, Merck & Company and Proctor & Gamble; an issue which has been linked to the organization’s lack of media discouraging the misuse of legal drugs.

Can a Juvenile Probation Officer Come to Your House and Drug Test You?
Question by Jake S: Can a juvenile probation officer come to your house and drug test you?
I’ve heard recently that my juvenile probation officer has gotten into trouble for showing up at peoples homes and drug testing them. I doubt it’s true, but she used to show up at my house at least once a month and randomly test me. Since I heard this information she has since stopped showing up and I just go to the scheduled meeting for a test. I’m wondering if she really has gotten into some trouble for this and what it could have been for. I live in West Virginia by the way.
