Are you in favor of drug testing before admission in school? and why?



Am I in favor?

Ofcourse its a big YES....

But the question is why... why am I in favor of this???

Basically my main reason is for the safety of the students


As we all know taking prohibited drugs such as marijuana, shabu, ecstacy and the likes gives a high feeling to the user, which makes you crave and want more... ADDICTION

And we know for a fact that these drugs are expensive, but once you got hooked to it you'll want more and more. As you crave for more you'll eventually lack the means to sustain you addiction. What will you do? you'll find ways to get enough money which will lead to... CRIME

Once you're in the "high state" you forget your inhibitions, you're not scared. You have the will to do anything, including... VIOLENCE

Summing these factors... spells D A N G E R...

Who would want danger in a place where you're supposed to learn and be ready for the real world ahead? Certainly no one...

I think drug testing before admission into school is a good idea... besides "IF YOU'RE NOT GUILTY, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?"...

And one thing... Drug testing can help uplift the standards of educational institutions, because education is a treasure that nobody can't take away from you...

TOXIC

Toxic...

Toxic...

Toxic...

Everywhere...

TOXIC, the most renowned word for Medical Technology students specially for us 4th years... whenever we feel stressed out in projects, questions for research, thesis, long quiz, prelims and etc we usually say "arggghhh TOXIC"... which implies... something that's hard, something that is bad for us...

So based from our favorite adjective... TOXIC is something that is not good for our body... or rather something that is POISONOUS

As I mentioned earlier toxicity is everywhere, we can encounter them everyday, everywhere and anytime. Sometimes we don't even notice that they can cause dangers in our health. Even the food or drugs we ingest that we think are safe can cause harmful effects into our body.

HEPATITIS... did you know that hepatitis can also be induced by certain drugs?

THE VICTIM: my brother...

Way back from my grade school days my mother used to restrain us from eating food from the street vendors. "Dirty food" as we call them, cause we're not sure whether they're clean or not.

One day my brother was diagnosed of hepatitis A which is usually transmitted from contaminated food and water. So we thought that this was caused by the contaminated food, but later on it was diagnosed as drug induced hepatitis.....

THE SUSPECT: Cephalexin...

from what we've discovered the drug in question was cephalexin which my brother took before the signs and symptoms of hepatitis A were manifested....

Drug induced hepatitis is a common effect of drugs which causes toxicity in the liver, since the liver is the one responsible for metabolizing medications. There are some drugs that are toxic to the liver of some people, that's why they cause liver injury if taken in higher doses.
