if you have money to buy pot you dont need welfarte and if you're using welfare money for pot you dont deserve welfare....If state and federal gov't employees have to take drug tests I don't see why people receiving money from the state or federal gov't shouldn't have to take the same tests. The confidentiality thing is ridiculous, and I agree with Cindy about the fact that they'll mostly just catch pot heads.
Even though strong drugs are flushed out of the system in a couple of days, when you are an addict you cant just stop, a heroin or meth addict cant just say "oh my test is next week, I have to stop consuming for a while"
