3. Instead of using Consumption of Any

substance as cause to deny/arrest/prosecute etc.
Why not use Impairment testing instead?

I know a few folks that can down a six-pack before noon and never skip a beat. If I even Look at a glass of beer, I'm screwed up.
Others can manage pain meds etc..no problem. I take an xtra strength Tylenol and I unwillingly fall asleep.
So, If I took a Tylenol at work or while driving....I could hurt myself or others because that crap impairs me...yet the person, next to me who is legally taking narcotic pain relievers is unphased.

So, doesn't it make more sense to use Impairment Testing instead of UA's?

A bit off topic..but they, I assume, will be testing Fed Workers for cannabis.
