San Francisco voters strongly support a ballot measure that would tie cash welfare benefits to drug screening for some recipients—a proposal that has proved highly divisive among the city’s elected officials.
The ballot measure, Proposition F, would require single adults suspected of being addicted to illegal drugs to undergo screening and agree to some form of treatment in order to continue receiving benefits. According to a poll conducted last month, 66% of likely March voters support the measure—the highest of any ballot measure polled.
“Voters are very concerned right now about crime and safety issues, the same with concern we’re seeing for open-air drug use and concerns about fentanyl addiction,” said Ruth Bernstein of EMC Research, which polled 500 likely voters in mid-November

Let be honest. A lot of people getting GA benefits use the money to buy drugs. I did, and so did most I knew on the street. It's simple. Taxpayers don't want their money supporting drug addiction. Prop F will pass.
@GleefulW3lfare4mos4MO
In effect
It's a transfer payment from the taxpayer to the drug dealer
Using the addict as the conduit and middle man

Unfortunately, the ACLU will file suit and gain injuntive relief. I still would like to see it pass.
