In this week’s collection of portraits from For The Record, we asked people at the Park City Library what their stance is on drug testing high school students that choose to participate in extra curricular activities. (Tanzi Propst/Park Record)

Lindsey Stevenson — Park City, Utah "I played soccer in college and we were drug tested all the time. It was no big deal...you know, you're getting paid for scholarship money and whatnot, so you just don't do drugs. In high school, why are you getting drug tested when you're just trying to better yourself? It should be equal for everybody." (Tanzi Propst/Park Record)

Craig Tansley — Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia "I would say, I would be against it, really. Particularly because they're doing these activities on a voluntary basis...but I'm against drug testing in general." (Tanzi Propst/Park Record)

Justin Letkeman — Heber City, Utah "I would say yes, that's a good idea. I think that'd be very much needed. Drugs have been a big problem lately." (Tanzi Propst/Park Record)

Miki Laws — Encampment, Wyoming "I think it's a good idea as long as it's for everybody and is a routine thing. It should be limited to drugs that are really known to be life threatening and harmful to health. If it's not, I think the testing could go too far." (Tanzi Propst/Park Record)

Brock Muhlestein — Provo, Utah "I think it'd be a good idea. It's a good idea to get them used to that because that's the real world, that's what you have to do when you get a job. If you're afraid of a drug test, you have more problems than not making it on the team." (Tanzi Propst/Park Record)
