I don't like the idea of my hard earned money being forcibly removed from me via taxes and given to someone who will use it for narcotics. You may argue that their benefits will be by a government debit card that can only be used for necessities. Don't fool yourself with that. If someone is doing drugs they gave something up to get them. They can barter with their debit card purchases. The government assistance will also free up their more liquid assets for drugs since they don't have to use their cash for food.
If drug tests are required then some will lose welfare because their dope is more important to them. Others will see their need to quit drugs. It's a win-win situation.
Like I said... jmho.
