Guess who besides us and the ACLU opposes drug testing welfare applicants? Former US drug czar Gen. Barry McCaffrey, that's who.
One reason is that a lot of veterans return from foreign wars with PTSD, and are vulnerable to addiction. Florida isn't offering treatment for people testing positive, they're just denying them benefits under the program (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, specifically, not every welfare program).
