Huffman, Alan. Personal interview. 20 Nov. 2012 I interviewed Alan Huffman M.D and asked questions about how long drugs stay in your system and how people deal with their addictions. He was very informative and helpful and I gathered a lot of information I could not find anywhere else. I learned that methamphetamines only stay in your system from 1-3 days, I can use that information to support my claim that drug testing applicants for welfare is ineffective.
NBC-15. (October 25, 2011). Judge Blocks Welfare Law NBC-15 News at 10. Mobile, AL. In this television news broadcast the reporter talks about a judge in Florida who blocks the controversial law requiring welfare applicants to pass a drug test. This broadcast was short but helpful in that the judge held the same position I have. I can use the information from this broadcast to back my claim that drug testing is a good idea but ineffective.
