If the card were only capable of application on necessities we wouldn't be having most of this discussion. That was a proposal I made. However, there is still the issue of that recipient being largely unable to secure stable employment with a drug habit, thus indefinitely enslaving them to the entitlement.
The food card is fairly limited. Sure you can buy junk food, but not smokes and other such things. And it depends on the individual and the drug in question. Someone who uses pot is different than a crack adict. And some manage their drug use better than others. Some use alcohol, which is legal, and not likely subject to your testing, but might be a larger problem.
