I probably wouldn'y even test for stuff like Pot and maybe E. My target would be Coke/Crack Heroin and Meth. Those are the ones that basically take over your life and make you a worthless wastoid, and are also the 3 most common. Maybe add PCP and LSD but the "big three" are the biggest problem
If you are going to test welfare recipients for drugs you have to go for the whole 9, you can't single out people who do coke and heroin but let people who smoke weed and do X get a pass.
Why can't you pick and choose which drugs to test for?
What exactly is the point of the testing in the first place? Is it simply a check for possible illegal activity? Is it because of concern for what the money is spent on? Is it concern for the children of parents receiving welfare? The reasoning behind the tests could influence what drugs to test for, as could the costs involved.

My concern is the tax dollars is being spent on drugs and not what it's intended for. My concern is that the money IS to help the children, and if it's not then it's welfare fraud.
All drugs cost money and shouldn't be coming from a welfare check.

My primary concern would be the recipient needing the help permanently. I would also worry about too much austerity being detrimental to getting them off the dole.
The concern is drugs that lead to a complete loss of societal function, as well as spiraling dependence, again resulting in no improvement in thier situation.
Letting someone have a couple of beers or a joint hit, as long as they work towards getting off the dole is not an issue. Drugs like Heroin and meth are far more difficult to use recreationally.
Again, the overall goal is getting the person back to being a contributing member of society.

I don't feel that taxpayers money should be spent where it wasn't intended. I hear what your saying, but the fact is that the designated money wasn't for a joint, it was for family expenditures.

So no food stamps for people on medications.
How does that help a cancer patient who needs some food stamps?
You havent been to Fla then. I live 3 miles from the FL /GA border and its very much prevalent in the housing projects that get welfare and food stamps. Its all over the news.My concern is the tax dollars is being spent on drugs and not what it's intended for. My concern is that the money IS to help the children, and if it's not then it's welfare fraud.

I seriously doubt that there are many, if any, welfare recipients on meth or heroin. They are more likely to be homeless or mooching off their friends and worrying about their next fix instead of doing the paperwork required to receive food stamps.
Again?
Ahh.. well, these drug-test threads are good for pulling the mask off the phony libertarians, if nothing else.

Glad to finally see some common sense being applied for those who want Welfare
The Republican governor of Florida has just signed a bill into law that will require recipients of welfare to take a drug test when applying for aid. The law went into effect on July 1, and requires applicants to pay for the test. If an applicant tests positive for drugs, a family member can receive their benefits to distribute to any dependent children. If welfare recipients pass, they can apply to have the cost of the drug test reimbursed.

If there wasn't a problem, then this would be a non issue and no bill would have been passed, IMO.

LOL! Of course it would be passed, issue or not. It's called pandering. What it is is wasting taxpayer money to stab at poor people to earn the votes of the rightwingloons.

It's not even 6am where I live and I've already read the most moronic post I will read today. TM couldn't even challenge your post, BFD.
The goal is to get people off drugs and eventually get them off welfare. It won't save all of them, but it will certainly save quite a few children. Isn't that the liberal mantra?
Drug testing is a deterrent. Ask any probation officer.
SO...being on welfare is a CRIME?
