Well let's look at the checklist:

-More workplace drug testing: Inherently I don't see this as a problem since I can understand why most businesses wouldn't want to be employing a meth addict. The problem with such testing is it acts like anyone who had a joint in the last 30 days is equivalent to a meth addict, if most employers just ignored testing positive for marijuana (as many actually do), it'd be a reasonable policy.

-"Zero tolerance" laws: Yeah actually read the article, it's about drugged driving.

-Prescription only status for pseudoephedrine/ephedrine products: I don't agree with this, but I'll note that most over the counter cough medicine already doesn't included these ingredients anymore, and truthfully while I think these type of laws are stupid making it prescription only is more logical than things like that grandmother in Indiana who was fined for buying a ton of cough syrup when many of her grandkids all caught a cold despite the fact there was no warning that she was going over the legal limit.

-Those stupid TV ads: Yes, this is stupid, and indefensible. Someone on another forum once made a valid point by asking how many people could be made clean if the money for them was diverted to rehab programs instead.
