Yes, if SSI believes you have a drug abuse issue then they can test you for marijuana or other drugs. This is very uncommon though.

Why yes they can. They are giving you money to live on because you have a disability and cannot work, not to sit there and smoke pot all day. They have the right to test to make sure they are giving money to a worthy person who cannot actually work. If you can smoke all day you can work.

As I understand it that depends on which state you're in but for the most part they can. They may give certain amounts of leeway for any one who is on prescription marijuana. This would require some one to have a doctor's permission form on them whenever they are out with the substance on their person.
