Subject: Postal Drug Study



Thanks for the reference.  I was just reading the 1992 Drugs Crime &
the Justice System report of the U.S. Department of Justice.  They reference
a 1990 study of postal workers that claims to show higher accident rates,
health problems, tardyness, etc. for marijuana and cocaine users.

This appears to be the report which will be most celebrated among pro-
enforcement circles, so I think it would be good to have a copy of it.
The study deals with pre-employment drug screening, so right there may
be a huge fault in the sample/external influences.

The report is published in JAMA Nov. 1990 264(20):2639-2643
