Why Shouldn’t We Require Drug Testing Before Giving Food Stamps and Welfare?

Question by Cassie: Why shouldn’t we require drug testing before giving food stamps and welfare?
If they can afford the drugs, surely they can buy themselves food? If they can afford drugs, surely they should have to feed their children before their addiction? I get tested at work, why shouldn’t they be tested before getting free money?

I’m not totally against welfare as I think there are times someone needs a little help, but it’s the people who abuse the system I’m against, and drugees abuse the system.
