        Read the actual article. Childless, able-bodied, who are then eligible to get state funded treatment. Not denied a thing, and actually people with kids are not impacted.

        I agree, but with the current addiction problems we face there needs to be an aggressive multifaceted approach. Everyone wins when even a single drug addict regains his freedom.

        So starving them into submission is the brilliant plan to cure addiction?

        Essentially advocating their slow murder by starvation to make yourself feel superior.

        Or rapid murder, depending on the case. People currently using cannabis for pain will switch to legal prescription opioids to keep their food stamps. More people will become addicted to them. More people will die. Kinder than starvation!

        I used opiods for 18 years to dull chronic pain. Then I went on medical marijuana and have been able to get off pain pills

        The communities that have run cost-benefits analyses have found that drug testing is a waste of money.

        How about funding schools instead of wasting resources on ridiculous plans that target the poor?

        If you're going to drug test those receiving public assistance then you definitely should start with politicians
