This isnt actually a bad idea. I'm sure that those receiving welfare and spending it on drugs are probably a significant minority, but still, if it could be used to help people then its worth considering.
I'm not a proponent of drug testing for welfare, I think theres far too many negatives than positives, but I also think that we should be more careful when handing out money and if we're offered an opportunity to help drug addicts kick the habit we should consider taking it.

In light of recent developments that might not be a bad idea.
