Now, for the first three steps, its about how much you are willing to pay. And how often you want to pee in a cup.

WOW. Pretty lenient...

[wootah]

Does anyone know when the tests take place, how often they occur & who exactly is tested? So how often a year is each player checked?

It puts it more in line with other penalties. Before minor drug use was treated harsher than more serious crimes. It's not like a 2-4 game fine is insignificant.

The only things they should be testing for are PED/HGH, or if there are other street drugs that enhance performance. The Cowboys were fueled by cocaine back in the 70's and 80's... the good ole days

They shouldn't be testing for weed at all.

Is this the new protocol in the deal they just reached?

That's b/c of Amerika's particular brand of fascism that has risen up. From the laughable docunonsense of Reefer Madness, to Nancy Reagan's Just Say No witchhunting.

Amerikans have been indoctrinated to believe that smoking a joint is a stonable offense (pun intended)

Amerika imprisons more people per capita than any nation on earth, including communist countries, and most of the people we have locked up are in there for drug offenses.

Anti-drug is not only engrained in the minds of the indoctrinated, it is big, Big, BIG business - especially for government. Laws need thugs to enforce them; prisons need guards, medical care, counselors, etc; probation officers and more counselors; drug testing clinics are big business; etc, etc...

The anti-weed holocaust is winding down a bit, but anti-drug, anti-freedom is big business, with many entrenched interests, unions, politicians, etc. It aint goin' anywhere.
