    Under a law signed today, not only must Michigan welfare recipients submit to drug tests, THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR IT http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/2013-2014/billenrolled/Senate/htm/2013-SNB-0275.htm …

        Also note that these hack legislators still use the Reefer Madness-era term "marihuana."

        The criteria for when to administer a drug test is "reasonable suspicion." Don't worry, I'm sure this will be applied equitably.

        @johnmcglasson1 I'm pretty sure it's not legal to grow marijuana for personal use. There's an exception for medical marijuana in the statute

        @CharmianNeary No reason to believe this saves the public any money. It's to exert social control over the morally-compromised underclass.

        @CharmianNeary OK. I don't think the Government should be forcing people to submit to drug tests.

        @CharmianNeary I'd prefer Government to get out of the drug-testing business altogether. Intrusive and authoritarian.

        @CharmianNeary @CuomoWatch Any legislator that votes for drug testing measures should also be required to take one themselves.

        @CharmianNeary @CuomoWatch The test should also screen for prescription drugs -- just in case they're taking something off prescription.
