5 estats d’Estats Units han aprovat lleis que exigeixen que reben assistència social a fer-se la prova de drogues. Els autors sostenen que les proves evitarà que els fons públics siguin utilitzats per subvencionar hàbits de drogues i ajudar a aconseguir el tractament per a aquells que són addictes a les drogues. Els opositors argumenten que és una pèrdua de diners ja que les proves costaran més diners del que estalvien.
