I don't think the answer is to try and legislate against being lazy and stupid though. There will always be people out there who will be that way. I think we concluded welfare payments average only a few hundred a month. That's not much of a career. If that level of living isn't enough to get someone inspired to do better in their life, I don't think a drug test is going to help either.
