 @9LG823Banswered…2wks2W

Only if their is evidence of criminality or drug addiction, and if positive they should be provided with free treatment

 @9L6VY7Nanswered…4wks4W

I think that welfare should be done with vouchers instead of money so they are spent on things actually needed instead of drugs or alcohol.

 @9D2TB3SConservativeanswered…9mos9MO

Yes, but only for those claiming benefits where they are expected to be looking for work. If positive, they should have to attend support and treatment program, then sanctioned for non-compliance. Should not be allowed to claim disability benefits for drug abuse related health conditions.

 @9CP2FCQanswered…10mos10MO

Yes and no, neutral stance, depends on why and the circumstances or severity of circumstances. Anyone struggling with mental/physical health and or addiction issues, or general testing positive should also be given proper and further/better help, resources, support, rehabilitation, and it should be further/better safeguarded too, and still a choice, the same goes for overall health or things like misusing benefits, whether someone works or not, everyone should be able to get tests by choice or if mandatory especially.

Yes but include everyone including politicians and royals and offer treatment for anyone testing positive for recreational drugs

Drug abuse in criminal and real related who delivers a mental health care with most in parts of the county as always

 @rosball220501Labouranswered…1yr1Y

No, this is invasive and quite honestly offensive. If the welfare recipient is using or addicted to drugs, they should receive help, but they should not be required to undergo testing for drugs. Honesty and transparency should be promoted.

 @98QCZDHLabouranswered…1yr1Y

no, but if there are people with a history of addiction, provide them with help

 @97T5RFNanswered…1yr1Y

We should only be giving a small amount to those who actually need it

No, this is a waste of money but treatment should be provided to welfare recipients who are addicted to drugs

 @973L3C6answered…1yr1Y

Provide treatment for any suspected drug use within governmental and public positions including psychological and physical analysis

 @96ZWVGCGreenanswered…1yr1Y

No, what people do in their own time is their own choice. Unless the drug use is causing them to require benefits

 @96PCP5Lanswered…2yrs2Y

No, but more funding should be given for drug abuse support and education.

 @96NG2NWanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, and provide treatment for those testing positive and provide education on financial literacy to assist them once out of rehab.

 @96JM2GFanswered…2yrs2Y

Only if they have a history of it or signs of it and if positive should be given help and not punished.

 @962VZL8answered…2yrs2Y

Decriminalise drugs and offer support to those who are using drugs. They should not have their benefits restricted or be penalised. They should have safe clinics ran by the NHS to support them to use substances safely and have a place where they can be supported to reduce/stop their drug use.

 @92SGSFJanswered…2yrs2Y

 @92RHQYWanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, if they are suspected of taking them. Benefits should be terminated if found to be positive.

No, but options for treatment should be provided and advertised for those who want it

 @8XZP67Xanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, if they have a history of drug use. However we should offer treatment if they test positive.

 @8XDTDMQanswered…2yrs2Y

No mandatory testing unless they have a criminal history related to drug abuse that is harmful and detrimental for the individual, including legal substance abuses such as alcohol, with help offered in coming over these problems.

 @8WJ2Y76answered…3yrs3Y

No, in the case that the system is reformed so that it supplements, rather than replaces, a working income

 @DAVIEBrexitanswered…3yrs3Y

The system would stay the same, unless a petition was successful in putting such a question to the people via Liquid Democracy

 @8VF98P8answered…3yrs3Y

Only if they are suspected of taking drugs by the social support and community workers around them, not simply because they are claiming benefits.

 @8TZGCP2answered…3yrs3Y

 @8TNMYWFanswered…3yrs3Y

No but a program should be offered to help anyone overcome an addiction

 @8TLYBBBanswered…3yrs3Y

 @8THGCXGLabouranswered…3yrs3Y

No, but all people, regardless of income, should be given full and free support to wean themselves off drugs.
