In Florida, people receiving cash assistance through welfare have had to pay for their own drug tests since July, and enrollment has shrunk to its lowest levels since the start of the recession.

The law, the most far-reaching in the nation, provoked a lawsuit last month from the American Civil Liberties Union, arguing that the requirement represents an unreasonable search and seizure.

I was going to say that this would no doubt spark lawsuits from the ACLU. lol. Fucking figures.

Either way, they'll be on assistance. If they fail the drug test, then they will need to be put into a gov't paid rehab program...of course. Then, when they're clean again they go back on assistance. And the cycle continues.
