Require Wellfare Recipients to Take Mandatory Drug Tests Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/require-wellfare-recipients-to-take-mandatory-drug-tests.html Online petition signatures en-us Sat, 18 Apr 2026 07:57 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Ms Anonymous [Signature #150] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/24471310?utm_medium=rss We pushed to classify quotation addiction quotation mark as a "disease" so that the course would be forced to get people into treatment instead of facing consequences of the crimes. But that obviously hasn't worked. And rewarding them with welfare is dangerously counterintuitive.

Problem is they will continue to spawn. Whether you keep them on welfare or not, we need to put more funding into cyf.
But yes, drugs drugs and Welfare are a dangerous combination.

I wish someone had been drug testing my sister before things turned out the way they did. Even if the state offers aid to help get families off drugs, paired with the UA kit costs this could add up to lots of money. I would rather my taxes be spent to help families get clean then to support their drug habits.

If you are on any kind of government assistance you should be drug/alcohol tested randomly not just once a year but each state should have to do testing per county might be costly BUT could prove to be more cost effective than not. I also feel that you should have to show Picture ID to match name on card as well. This could really save money.
