The drug testing is not just to catch a drug addict. It is a form of a deterrent. People that cheat on welfare will figure out a way to cheat a drug test.
Not all drug addicts are on welfare some manage gainful employment. The premise here is to end or curtail welfare fraud and drug testing coupled with other tactics is just another tool needed and used.
When building a home you don't do it all with a hammer and handsaw but it can be done and the same goes for catching abusers of welfare. The threat of random testing will deter how much we really cannot measure unless we enforce.
What really is being done with the idea of drug testing is an attempt to make irresponsible people responsible.
I think mandatory labor is the way to go. If you are forced to work then working for welfare would get old and you may be inspired to get a better paying job if you are going to have to work either way.
The CCC and WPA at least required that you work and received skills.
