Passing random urine tests to be eligible for welfare

I got an email that stated the following:

Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test with which I have no problem. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them? Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their RUMP, doing drugs, while I work. Can you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?
I don't think anyone should be drug tested ever. How about that?

I think its pretty shitty to assume that if a few people abuse the welfare system then all of them do same as I think its f'd up to drug test someone before you hire them. Whatever happened to treating adults as adults and innocent until proven guilty?
