The drug users that will get caught out the most are cannibis users because of the length of time it stays in the system.
Therefore:
Im in 2 frames of mind on this:
1: The Drug users are recieving tax payer money, so tax payer's should have the right to security that it is not being used for drugs - but whose to say pot smokers didnt grow it themselves - or simply get it from a 3rd party as a gift.
2: Should the tax payers have to pay the high cost to test all welfare users on an a weekly basis to catch out users of drugs. (would need to be almost more than weekly to be accurate for opiates)edit on 18-3-2011 by byteshertz because: (no reason given)

Actually it isn't that hard to do the tests, it's just putting a test strip into the piddle and they could use other welfare recipients to work the tests, they could read it because the test srip will tell you right on the chart what color means what drug, a trained monkey could do it!!!
I do agree about the cannibus. That I think should be not even considered and should be legalized IMO. It's all the crap hard drugs that are chemically processed that one they cost the most damage to your system, they are the ones that gangs kill over (putting innocence in harms way), and they are the most expensive as well(so would really be ballsy to be buying on our tax handouts), but another poster has proven you can find those with pee tests even up to I think 15 days they said after use I am not totally sure if that is what it said and there was a link, the post is on pg 2 I think.

Mmmm... drug testing welfare recipients?
Does that include all the bankers and high flying brokers that benefitted from the taxpayer bailouts too?
