I'm not big on drug testing, but that said, FL and Ga should have the right to put reasonable constraints on free money to make sure it's being spent properly. As Don says, most private jobs are subject to drug screening, why should government assistance be any different?
Marijuana should probably be legalized, it is no more serious or harmful than drinking alcohol. This would decriminalize the large segment of our society that use it, and reduce the criminal behavior that comes with smuggling. After all, without prohibition we might never have had the likes of Al Capone. I don't smoke it, but I know plenty of people who do, and for the most part they get along just fine.

It would cost a lot to administer these test to the "welfare" recipents, and yes it woul dbe more hassle than its worth, it would tie up workers, etc etc etc. And after they test the workers in Fla, who's gonne be left to do the job's, the welfare people, I doubt it. The need to revamp the whole social services programs, the food stamps, the med cards, all of it, There is a lot of fraud and the bad thing is that the gov has put in measures that makes it easy to fraud to get some benifits, hell to get food stamps all u really need is a ky id and be able to lie real well. Yes they should legalise pot, like devil horse said, its no worse than alchol. It is time for this country to change for the better and quit going backwards. Change I can belive in, well show me, Mr Prez.
