In thinking further about this issue, I realized that obviously the drug testing cannot be condoned, since drugs should be legal for anyone. Rather than force drug testing for those that get benefits, the thing that needs to change in the present system is to make government benefits only applicable to essential food, housing and health related items, rather than allowing it to be spent however people wish. If you want to be able to make your neighbors take care of you by force, then it is only fair that you don't get to choose what you buy with those funds. This drug testing thing has been bugging me since this thread was posted, because it fundamentally clashed with my basic views, and I just wanted to say this, and retract my earlier statement.
