They're kids.

West Point graduates lawyers, right?????

Sheesh.......and folks throw a fit about tokin a little herb.........

Shows how no one is safe from the lure of drugs no matter what their background is. Drugs is the scourge of the USA.

The worst drug is legal.......alcohol. Add to that the other recreational drugs, TV, movies, media..........things are going to heck in a handbag.

I saw where Kansas is trying for the second time to ban boys from competing in girls high school sports. They failed the first time and it ain't soundin good the second time. And Kansas is a common sense plains state.

Nowhere is exempt from the craziness......it is sweeping the USA.

We got a liberal governor. Governors race is held during the election between presidential elections. Big D got the vote out in Johnson and Douglas counties while the rest of the state stayed home. Seems the turnout between presidential elections is only about 30%. still have a conservative legislature to reign the witch in.

Is it bad this honestly doesn't surprise me at all ?

None of the Military Academies offer a law degree.

Not even Hunter Biden could survive that in any of our military academies', At least, for moment.

Then, again, even I might get an appointment the way things are going.

How was West Point supposed to know they used drugs? Cocaine has always been a white middle class drug. It's quite possible those kids had good grades and no prior criminal activity so I'm not sure how WP was supposed to weed them out before admitting them?

This fentanyl stuff is insane. You would think it would make ANYONE too terrified to do ANY drug. These kids definitely didn't plan to ingest fentanyl. Heck, you don't even know if a bag of weed is safe anymore these days.

Other than the 2 that injested it trying to save the other's lives.....

...drug use (with fentynal) seems to be a self- correcting problem.

I have to submit to random drug testing and all I do is drive trucks

I'm an owner operator and I have to pay to be in a randomised drug test consortium and if my name comes up I have pay for my drug test . Just to drive my own semi . I

Typically cocaine can only be detected in your blood, saliva or urine for 3 days and up to 2 weeks in your urine if you are a heavy user. This happened the beginning of spring break. I doubt they expected to OD on fentanyl laced cocaine. Unless it’s a hair follicle test it’s the pot smokers who usually get caught. I’m sure GPS tracking has cut done the use of crank in the trucking industry by over the road truckers.

It’s not bad. I’d like to know why you feel this way.

As someone else said, cocaine doesn't stay in your body long for drug tests. All they'd need to do is not use for a week or two before being tested. If they're just recreational users and not addicts that would be no problem.

But now that you mention it I don't think colleges do drug test. Maybe they should start.

West Point does random drug testing. It’s not a liberal arts college.

Theirs so much drug and drug use in the upper parts of the military it's not even funny....

What’s the percentage of users based on your first hand knowledge? Some people will eventually be broken by never ending war. It’s not surprising some would resort to illegal drug use.
