Track them down no matter the costs!
Agree. Eliminating the welfare system is the only solution.
Drugs should all be legal. Getting your butt hooked on heroin is your problem, not mine.
Let us start reducing the welfare system by eliminating bank bailouts and no-bid government contractiong. Then we can get to taxing stock deals as regular income and apply the Social Security to all income from all sources. That would put a considerable dent in our welfare payments.
It only works as a great way to show their hatred and resentment against poor people wanting on government welfare. Not many poor people have had enough money to pay to develop a drug habit compared to the rest of the population.

That was never the point. It funnels money to drug testing companies, who in turn will write a nice check for the law-and-order politicos reelection campaign.

If you can't afford health care - that's your problem.
If you can't afford housing or food - that's your problem.
Policing drug related crimes would increase costs. The human cost would also increase. Also, how many heroine addicts are going to pay taxes since they are unable to work?
Maybe random drug testing would be helpful.
Why should people get taxpayer money and not be required to be responsible with it?

Your fascist freedom hating nature does not go unnoticed, how much do you suppose it costs to imprison somebody? How much, brah?
All drugs should be legal, end of story! If you don’t like it, please leave my country and move to Saudi Arabia, now!
Thank you very much!
The return on investment in this scenario should be ammortized over a 20 to 30-year planning horizon. It really doesn't matter to me if Year 1 of the drug-testing-for-welfare scheme is not cost beneficial. The benefit will come in later years when people know that they won't get benefits if they test positive for drugs. That type of societal correction and attitude adjustment has benefits that outweigh the costs to society. It's worth the upfront costs to set the tone.
