Do You Agree That Drug Testing Should Be Done As A Requirement For Admission To Schools?

Do we really have to ask our selves this question? Well for me I 100% totally agree that drug testing should be done as a requirement for admissions to schools. I mean I don’t see any thing wrong with it and I can’t even think of disadvantages of having drug testing as a requirement for school admission. But this will be a very big problem for those who use illegal drugs and that’s their problem they shouldn’t even have been using illegal drugs from the start. To think of it I got a question of my own why even use drugs, what do they get from using drugs? As far as I know this can even endanger their life.

Drugs have been a major problem in our country but not only in our country but in the whole world. That’s why I agree with this statement. If this would be done I would say that this will reduce the number of students who use drugs knowing that it will affect their future in a big way that they won’t be able to enroll in a school because of the drug screening. This will be a big boost for our society having to decrease the number of cases of drug users. This will also be an advantage for the school and the students. Drugs can make a person change and really mess their mind up which can cause trouble in campus. So having a free from drugs school the school campus is safer. This is my point of view for this statement. I STRONGLY AGREE THAT DRUG TESTING SHOULD BE DONE AS A REQUIREMENT FOR ADMISSION TO SCHOOLS ….

A Drug Testing is a commonly technical examination to determine the specified drugs that are presence or absence or their metabolized traces of the patient. It is done to those people who are suspected on taking prohibited drugs, abusing of drugs that can affects the healthy body.


There are common types of specimen that can be used in drug testing:

1. urine

2. hair

3. blood

4. sweat

5. or other body fluids

Urine is the most common specimen for screening test for drug testing, some reasons why it is the chosen common specimen, its because urine can be collected anytime and is easily done rather than the other specimens. While the blood specimen is the confirmatory testing for drug testing if the result in the urine test is positive for taking prohibited drugs.
