Drug Testing the real truth

I am in favor of drug testing because it will help control the problem of drugs. Drugs have been a problem in the United States.  We need to promote drug testing  in schools to prevent kids in school from using drugs.  Yes drug testing can be expensive but if we help prevent the use of drugs we don't need to spend money on all the programs that prevent drug use.  I think by just helping a few kids at each school it might have a ripple affect on other kids not to do drugs.  "Drug-impaired students undermine our country's ability to compete on the world stage. Unfortunately, compared with many of our international competitors, the U.S. is operating at a handicap because too many of our youth, indeed our citizens, are abusing drugs. America represents four percent of the worlds population, yet it consumes two-thirds of the world's illegal drugs." If kids do drugs they are more likely to try other drugs which is not good.  We need to stop drugs because if they have kids their kids could have drug problems which is a ripple effect.
