5 estats d’Estats Units han aprovat lleis que exigeixen que reben assistència social a fer-se la prova de drogues. Canadà no té actualment provar receptors d’assistència social per a les drogues. Els autors sostenen que les proves evitarà que els fons públics siguin utilitzats per subvencionar hàbits de drogues i ajudar a aconseguir el tractament per a aquells que són addictes a les drogues. Els opositors argumenten que és una pèrdua de diners ja que les proves costaran més diners del que estalvien.

No this is a waste of time and money and social assistance programs should come with restrictions and time limits such as EI.

No, people matter no matter what their transgressions. They should however be given support to keep drugs from hurting them further.

Welfare checks should be replaced with payment direct to landlords and with food voucher, transit passes or gas cards, and a small amount of cash for communication and other needs. Take the majority of cash out of the equation. Then those on welfare and on drugs either give drugs up or turn to crime and they can be dealt with separately; and people just having hard times have a way to survive.

No, an unconditional basic income should be adopted
