Drugs Now Legal If User Is Employed

[Pleonastic]

WASHINGTON, DC—Seeking to "narrow the focus of the drug war to the true enemy," Congress passed a bill legalizing drug use for the gainfully employed Monday.
"Stockbrokers, lawyers, English professors... you're not the problem here," said DEA Administrator Asa Hutchinson at a White House press conference. "If you are paying taxes and keeping your yard tidy, we're not going to hassle you if you come home from a hard day of work and want to enjoy a little pot or blow. But if, on the other hand, you're one of these lazy, shiftless types hanging out on the street all day looking for your next high, we're coming after you."

Entertaining reading.. I can just see the lines at centerlink of people looking for jobs if this was really passed.

sydkiwi: I assume that they're going to start a national database and give access to the police - so if you're stopped with drugs then they can run a quick background check and see if you're employed and are actually allowed to carry them.
That or it's a satirical article and you just missed the point entirely...
LOL! :D
