The result was a huge amount of money spent on testing labs (hmmm, his old business) and a lower percentage of those seeking aid testing positive for drugs than the general population. No one benefitted but the labs. And, of course, conservatives who glory in humiliating the poor and implying their real problem is laziness / intoxication, etc.
