Colorado Welfare Recipients Have Used Their EBT Cards To Withdraw More Than $23K From Pot Shops…
Reason #4,982,893 welfare recipients should not be allowed to withdraw cash with their EBT cards.
Via NRO:
For the past six months, welfare beneficiaries in Colorado have repeatedly withdrawn their cash benefits at marijuana retailers and dispensaries, according to a new analysis by National Review Online. Such apparent abuses have caught the eye of Colorado’s executive and legislative powers alike, and the state has launched an effort to curb them.
At least 259 times in the first six months of legalized recreational marijuana in Colorado, beneficiaries used their electronic-benefit transfer (EBT) cards to access public assistance at weed retailers and dispensaries, withdrawing a total of $23,608.53 in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) cash, NRO’s examination found.
I remain of the opinion that eventually all health insurance policies will be required to cover "medical" marijuana. |
