Personally, I think that drug tests shouldn't apply for welfare, simply because it's for the most part unnecassarily inefficient.
I'm currently recieving job seeking benefit after graduating university with a degree (fingers crossed it seems more than likely that I'll be employed on thursday thanks to a job I applied for have asked about choosing shifts and I've had o fill in a lot of paper work, sign employment contracts etc.) and support people being given benefits if they need it as I'm something of a Democratic-Socialist (NOT a Communist as some people believe, if that were true Scandinavia would be the new Soviet Union)
I'm a teetotaller who doesn't take anything stronger than caffiene, and I imagine the vast majority of job applicants don't take drugs, perhaps I'm being naive. It would be far too time consuming to drug test everyone for drugs, imo, and would rarely yield any significant results. Not to mention that under the circumstances I think it's a strong breach of privacy.
I do agree that it's good to have tests if it's require for the job or if it has a major impact like mentioned earlier with drivers, doctors etc.
