I got an email about a week ago saying that why shouldn't people that are on welfare have to take drug screens before they get accepted like the people that are applying for jobs have to since they are the ones paying for the welfare anyway.Do you agree/disagree?

i got the same one a while back - and yes i agree.if they are receiving any kind of welfare,they should be screened - you don't need the money if you are buying drugs with it. example - i know at least 10 people personally (thru no fault of my own) who buy a quarter pound of pot every 1st of the month when they receive their checks,they then sell their food stamps for cash in which to purchase more pot.sometimes pain pills,wraps - they have virtually no bills,and don't grocery shop. so - that has brought me to the conclusion that the drug test would be a fabulous idea - would save a heck of alot of money when 90% of them failed.
by the way,i smoke weed - not everyday - but I'm not downing people that do it,i work for my money - - - -

I got the same e-mail. I agree 100%. And if someone is receiving unemployment or any kind of government assistance, checks should be handed out only after a drug test is administered.

I don't agree with welfare hand-outs at all.

Everyone has the right to welfare that has the right to welfare.
Would you rather have the druggie comin round to your house...stealing all your money and 'stuff' cos they were refused money?
