I agree with Brandon’s opinion that taking and passing a drug test
should be a condition for receiving government benefits (food stamps/TANF). I understand his frustration in seeing hard earned tax dollars from hard working citizens squandered on drugs. But I would take it a step further by saying
I think a drug test should also be a criteria for receiving financial aid for college
because there are students who use their financial aid to buy alcohol and
marijuana while in school. Young people are inundated with ads offering drink
specials every week to entice them to spend their financial aid (other people’s
money) on liquor. They are hounded by drug dealers (which may very well be another student) to purchase drugs. Billions of tax
payer's money is wasted on parties, alcohol and drugs by students. They are not
using the money for their education. A drug test should be administered before
receiving financial aid every semester. Is it ethical? Hell yes! I do not want
my taxes to pay for their parties and drug binges! How can they become productive citizens if
all they have done while in school is use the funds to get high and party? They are not studying, they are getting high!
