Misread you. I went back and read it again. For a second it appeared that you were arguing that it was a right to have welfare, while using drugs. That is to say, that the government couldn't make drug testing a condition of receiving welfare 'benefits'.

There is no right to welfare---in fact, it's a violation of the rights of those who are made to pay for it.

That said, does it follow that government may impose any test it wants? Can it deny welfare to smokers? Marxists? Jews?
