5 U.S. states have passed laws requiring welfare recipients to be tested for drugs. Brazil does not currently test welfare recipients for drugs. Proponents argue that testing will prevent public funds from being used to subsidize drugs habits and help get treatment for those that are addicted to drugs. Opponents argue that it is a waste of money since the tests will cost more money than they save.

No, this is instantly humiliating to those who need help and aren't on drugs. Fund social and medical services in areas high in drug usage and give people a reason and path to quit.
@9LKWCYQ8mos8MO
Yes, but ONLY for those with a criminal history and allow first time offenders to receive treatment and rehabilitation.
