Canadian soldiers test positive for drugs; prevented from going to Afghanistan

OTTAWA - Some 250 soldiers who tested positive for drug tests, were not allowed to serve in Afghanistan, the Canadian Forces confirmed Tuesday.

According to documents obtained by CBC News, the military has tested almost 7,000 soldiers since mandatory drug testing of personnel headed to Afghanistan began in 2006.

The results were for the period September 2006 to last May, which show that most of the soldiers who failed tested positive for marijuana. The report also said some military personnel were found to have traces of harder drugs such as cocaine, methamphetamine and amphetamines in their systems.

"When you want to send our soldiers there, you don't want to send kids who are addicted or who have a drug problem. They have to be clean," said Liberal Defence critic Denis Corderre.

As federal sports minister in 2001, Coderre was instrumental in establishing the Montreal-based World Anti-Doping Agency, which has long been a proponent of drug testing.

"Drug-free sport ... It's exactly the same thing as DND, those people represent us," he said.

But it's also a safety issue, Coderre told CanWest News Service.

"It's a war mission, there would be an extra problem to take care of - a drug problem on the field."

Canadian Armed Forces Brig.-Gen. Ian Poulter told CBC_News: "It's a particular concern because we are in Afghanistan, they are in a combat situation and they have to make split-second decisions, life or death, and we need them to be able to do that without the influence of illicit drugs."

Liberal Senator Colin Kenny agreed: "It's a reflection of the society we live in," he said. "A lot of young people use drugs. It would surprise me if a lot of people who joined the Canadian Forces didn't, as well," said Kenny, who told CanWest News Service he would support the idea of across-the-board drug testing in the Forces.

"The difference is the occupation. If you are handling weapons you become a danger to yourself and to your colleagues if you are abusing substances - if its alcohol or drugs, it doesn't matter."

Right now only soldiers pegged for deployment face mandatory drug testing.

Smoke a joint - save your life. Not doing drugs may be hazaradous to your health!

So given this data 3.5% of the canadian military has drugs in their system.

Those are just the fools who go caught you can imagine JUST AS MANY beat the test some sort of way.
