To prevent these citizens from illegally spending government aid, they should be put through random drug screenings. No date should be set for the drug testing. Making these screenings random will not allow the users to hide or mask their usage of drugs. First time offenders who are caught in the using of drugs and are receiving government aid will lose their aid for three months. At the end of three months, the aid will be restored, but their usage will be kept on record. Second time offenders will lose their aid for one complete year. At the end of one year they must prove why they still deserve the aid. Three time offenders will lose their benefits for the rest of their life, and will not receive any new government aid. The legalizing of this law will cut down government spending, reduce drug related crime, reduce the number of drug users, and lower the income for drug cartels. Also lower the risk of children being born addicted to narcotics, and reduce the mortality rate of babies born. Legalization will reduce the amount of children born with drug related birth defects, which in turn will lower the cost of government medical spending for the children with birth defects. |
