The narrative of those on welfare using drugs doesn't match the data, and frankly wasting money chasing that low of a percentage of that population makes no sense. Add in that most were likely Marijuana positives, which is on a road to being legal in the majority of states in the next 5 years, and it just isn't something that is worth a net loss to the tax payer.
I do agree on the weed issue. If you can smoke ciggys and buy alcohol, you certainly should be able to smoke/vape/eat weed. Especially since it is the least harmful of the 3.
