3. If you can't not buy alcohol with foodstamps, you will not buy pot.

If you can not buy a tobacco cigarette with foodstamps, you will not buy pot.

Pot is not a necessity.

[alphafemale]

4. No. You can't buy beer or cigarettes with food stamps

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

5. Only if they actually sell it in the herb aisle in the grocery store

in between the Basil and the Parsley.

Which isn't very likely.

[Generic Other]

[apocalypsehow]

I'm for legalization in CA (and nationwide); and against allowing it to be bought with food stamps.

And so voted.

It's a legitimate OP, and I thank you for posting it. The issue should be discussed.

[unapatriciated]

22. why?

If we were talking about hemp cereal I might understand why you feel the need to discuss.
Pot will be in the same category as cigarettes and alcohol.

[Luminous Animal]

11. Stupid question. Pot is not food.

[TexasObserver]

12. You always have the good stuff.

Chum, that is.

[Honeycombe8]

13. Food stamps are for FOOD, not booze or drugs of any kind. nt

[Radical Activist]

14. Yes, that would be awesome.

But that isn't how the food stamp program is set up. You can't even buy a lot of actual food with it.

Are people allowed to buy cigarettes with food stamps? I don't think so.

[northernlights]

32. you should be able to buy toothpaste, dental floss and a toothbrush

with food stamps.

But you should not be able to buy pot with food stamps. Marajuana is not food.
