Here's how to save millions of dollars for the state of California: Drug test welfare participants.

When we apply for jobs, we have to pass a drug test, right? Well, why not welfare? If you test dirty, no money. Random drug testing could keep some clean enough to take care of their family like they are suppose to do with the money and food stamps. Yes, there are no paper food stamps, but they can take them food shopping for some dope.

I truely believe in this. If our employers drug test, why not the State of California?
