Imagine taking the money you rightfully earned through hard work and countless hours spent at work and throwing it all away, using it on items that are essentially a waste of your money and time. Suppose I told you that this very problem is present in our very own state, city, and county. Currently welfare recipients are given your tax paying money for their own pleasure, pleasure meaning drugs rather than resources and ways to improve their lives and their means of living. In efforts to help this issue we must begin testing individuals who receive welfare for drugs. Welfare recipients should be required to be drug tested because it could lower the crime rate, lowering the use of drugs overall, and create efficient government spending.

In today’s society about 12,800,000 people are supported by government welfare programs for help with their financial necessities. The argument everyone is making nowadays, is whether or not they should be drug testing recipients of welfare. I agree with this strongly because I know that if I were paying taxes on this program I would not want someone going out and abusing this privilege on drugs. People collecting welfare, or other government assistance, should be drug tested because if they are just going to spend money on drugs, they do not need help.

Living day to day throughout our country, many people receive government assistance in order to meet the basic necessities needed in life. These people are provided with benefits because of the many assistance programs that have been created to help the citizens of the United States. However, people are beginning to notice that there are many recipients that use the money for things other than living essentials. This is a big problem in the eyes of the tax payers because they see people who are on welfare take their money and buy drugs with it. This has raised the question, should the government drug test welfare recipients? Due to the increase of government assistance programs being abused, welfare recipients should be drug tested because

Say no to drugs! Goggle search said “Drugs are one of the top causes of teen deaths and suicides in the United States.” Drugs have been around for years and each year the death rates and suicide rates have increased dramatically especially in teen students. This is why it is very important that parents teach their kid at an early age about drugs. The Teachers and school staff are trying their best to teach the kids that drugs are not cool. The schools think it is best that all Middle School Students should be drug tested. The drug-testing program serves as a deterrent for middle school students that are encountering drugs of all kinds, including steroids, alcohol and marijuana.

Government research indicates that at least 100,000 doctors have an addiction to drugs or alcohol. There have been enough documented cases of doctors performing surgeries while under the influence that it has drawn national attention and the country is now asking "Should we mandatory drug test our practitioners?". Although the exact numbers are unknown, studies indicate that the percentage of physicians who use controlled substances is said to mirror that of the general population at about ten percent; however the numbers are estimated to be higher for surgeons and doctors who prescribe narcotics because of the ease of access to these controlled substances. Exactly how many surgeons perform while under the influence of mind-altering substance remains unknown; however even a one percent population poses critical issues for the profession. The most obvious is patient safety; the chances of loss of limb, loss of function and death are increased when critical thinking and surgical skills are clouded by the effects of controlled substances. Next, trust in medicine and healthcare as a whole is diminished when such activities occur.

I believe that drug tests should be allowed in middle school because it could save a kid’s future. Also, Drugs can mess you up so much they can screw up your life in a heartbeat it's unreal how many kids do drugs thinking there cool but they don't know what drugs can do to you. These kids are pretty much falling through the cracks and not passing that grade. If they're caught early enough they could be stopped and put in a better direction. With proper counseling as well as supervision, a student that was heading towards failure can be saved. Next, what would it be like if your parents knew you did drugs? Finally, even though drug test can devastate people it would save so many kids from failure.

Mandatorily drug testing a controversial issue right now. Mandatorily drug testing welfare recipients is wrong for many reasons. Not only is it unconstitutional but it also very costly. It adds to the debt that the USA already has. Drug testing the recipients is unnecessary and not needed.

Drug-testing applicants, as well as recipients, on welfare has been an ongoing debate for multiple years. Many have argued that if an individual has to be tested to get a paycheck, others should be tested and screened to receive a federal check of financial aid. Those individuals who are recipients of the welfare program should be drug-tested nationwide to eliminate the problematic spending of taxpayer dollars. Since 1971, this type of testing has been used for military purposes, in the work force, and has recently been incorporated into state welfare laws. With this addition, controversial topics, such as how these tests are paid for and whether or not they violate the fourth amendment as an unlawful search, have arose. Although, they have

Drug addiction is a serious issue in not only America today, but globally. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, substance addiction is a “chronic, relapsing brain disease that is characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, despite the harmful consequences” (“What is drug addiction?”). Drug abuse affects not only the user, but those around the user as well. The actions of a drug user place a significant amount of worry on the people that are closest to them such as friends and family. Children with parents who are addicted to drugs or alcohol can be severely affected by the actions of their parents which can cause them much harm in terms of biological and

In the article titled “Should Colleges Be Allowed to Enforce Mandatory Drug Testing…” Linn State Technical College in Missouri implemented mandatory drug testing for all students as part of the general admissions process. Linn State Technical College explains their reasoning behind the drug testing as part of their mission to “prepare students for profitable employment and a life of learning”. Lawsuits have been filed against the college stating that the students Fourth Amendment rights have been violated. One of the main reasons school officials stand by the mandatory drug testing policy is for the students who are enrolled in programs that involve operating of heavy equipment.
