Snopes:
>> Origins: On 3 January 2014, the National Report published an article positing that in Colorado (where marijuana use had just been legalized) a store had begun accepting food stamps towards the purchase of food items made with marijuana...
The National Report's disclaimer page notes that:
National Report is a news and political satire web publication, which may or may not use real names, often in semi-real or mostly fictitious ways. All news articles contained within National Report are fiction, and presumably fake news. Any resemblance to the truth is purely coincidental. <<
Meister got punked.
When it sound this silly, the thing to do is go find it on some real news source -- not 'Nonprofit Quarterly". Or directly to a factcheck.
Fox Noise swallowed whole too...

Interestingly, "comments are disabled for this video". Wonder why.
This thread isn't talking about EBT for pot....it's talking about using EBT cards in ATM's located in the pot shops.
In Colorado benefits other than food stamps are dispensed via EBT cards. Funds designted as food funds still can only be used for food, however withdrawels of cash from other benefits are available with the same card from an ATM. Cash can not be obtained from the food stamp funds account.
That's the way I understand it as well.
Different funds are accessed with the same card but that does not mean the cash can be withdrawn from the food account.
Thanks.
