Why are drug tests so common in the US? I don't know of anyone who gets drug-tested here in Germany...

I do know that I have to sign that I am not doing any drugs when I start my PhD, but fuck it. I drink 2 beers a week because I hate drinking. Weed is much nicer!

Well, killing people just wasn't enough of a thrill, so we're at war with arbitrarily selected psychoactive substances as well.

See The War on Drugs if you're unfamiliar.
