Whoop-dee-doo. My reasoning isn't that drugs are illegal. I care that drugs are not essential.
As illogical as it would be be, what if my company was performing the drug tests because they did not want me to spend my earnings to purchase drugs (disregarding that it is illegal, not my issue). Same thing applies. They don't want people using/wasting the money on drugs when it could be better used towards food, clothing, and shelter.
And if you are smart enough to swallow a couple drops of bleach in gallons of water, or somehow rig up a bladder pump, you really ought to think about putting your mind to work elsewhere.
If you can't get a job, I think one should make damn sure the money is going to be used wisely. I have grown up living next to both the families making the struggle when times are bad, and the families living the far too easy life by not trying at all.
Either test them or ensure that they can't misuse the benefits they receive. Which will be easily implemented first?
