I was reading the newspaper and came across proposed bills in Nevada (where I live).
One that caught my eye was about drug testing for public aid.
A summarized description of the article is that anyone in Nevada would be required to go through drug testing/screenings for illegal drugs to receive public assistance, including food stamps or Medicaid.
If they test positive for illegal drugs or if they refuse drug screening/treatment, they will be denied public assistance unless they enroll in some sort of treatment program. A person would be exempt from drug screenings if he or she has prescriptions for medical marijuana/other prescription drugs. A person would also be exempt if he or she is and above 65-years-old or if a person is already in treatment.
It's said that the purpose is to help people with substance abuse problems rather than deny them aid.
So I was curious to see what all of you have to say about this proposed bill...are you for or against it?
