How is this relevant? How can people who get benefits on the government payroll, afford this anyway? For them to have traces of such things in their
system, should preclude them from getting anything!
Of course if someone uses a little bit of weed then they should be restricted from performing certain jobs / duties, whilst under the infuence,
if not under the influence then I personally don't see where the problem is.
Alas, as previously stated, that arguement is for another time.
Alas, you brought it up, and in my opinion, since we all have one, is that they should get nothing if they test positive. I don't do drugs, so why
should somebody getting tax dollars from me be allowed to?
The whole benefit system needs reviewing, however, you advocate limiting benefits for those that don't fit into your particular opinion of how
people should live their lives.
If they are getting tax dollars from me, or any of my relatives, then, yes, I do feel they should have to fit into the norm of what tax payers
consider normal for how people's lives should be lived.
IMO, therein lies the problem with the benefit system and the issue that should be addressed, not the imposition of restrictions of free will.
You are free to do whatever you want, nobody is stopping you. It is your choice, but you shouldn't be getting paid to do whatever you please, with MY
money, or anybody elses!
