And even if your not worried about trading welfare cards for drugs it was only last year when some politician finally thought it might be a good idea to put an end to welfare benefit cards being use to withdraw money at casino ATMs, I can't say I remember which state this was in but I'm sure if you wanna look it up you can. Now there are plenty of people who do need welfare benefits, but if you are in need I think you can get over the embarrassment of taking a piss test, many private and public jobs require the same from you, I don't see the difference.
