Drugs Problems

It would appear that members of the
Georgian parliament get drug tested before they are admitted to it
(following the recent election), Rustavi2 reports. Bit unfortunate that a leader of an
opposition part was found to have traces of opium in his blood. He
blames it on a codeine-based medicine he had taken the day before. I
don’t know anything about pharmacology, so who knows if codeine
isn’t really opium. Funny thing is, though, that codeine-based
medicines, like Sudafed, are illegal in Georgia. Personally, had I
been the politician, I would have kicked up a fuss and blamed the
government for planting it on me. This is Georgia!
