It's my understanding unemployment is meant to bridge a temporary cash shortfall for the person who lost a job, to be ended when the person gets another job. Getting on illegal drugs would make getting rehired difficult because a lot of employers do pre-job drug screens, so if the state is serious about keeping unemployment a temporary assistance program, there's an interest in keeping a person employable, right?
Treating illegal drugs the same as legal alcohol is the height of idiocy. The sort of thing I've come to expect of leftists who can't tell the difference between the two.
