Is it true that food stamps can be traded for drugs in most cities?

    A lot of stupid people say a lot of stupid things when it come to drugs. Ron Paul brought one up in the first debate. He said how some people said that if we legalize H, everybody would be on it. Then he said to the audience would you try H if it were legal? Of course no one would. Drugs are easier to get then a newspaper. Really? I always wanted to know where that guy lived. If anybody tells you that, challenge them. Bet them $100 that you can get a paper before they can score a dime bag. It's a great bet because if they do manage to win (and I promise you they won't) you just have them arrested, and you keep your $100.

    Yes the link cards can be taken into grocery stores by the legal recipients in exchange for cash from the person who wants the grocery's tax free and has drugs to offer as exchange. all that is needed is a grocery list and the guy sitting in the parking lot waiting for the grocery's along with the cash to purchase them.B.S if people don't think it's possible.

    NOT TRUE. Food stamps aren't stamps at all, but a card that you can use at the store. Kind of like a debit card. Once a month more money is put on it for people to use, but it doesn't cover alcohol or tobacco. I suppose some people could give their food cards away in exchange for drugs, but that has nothing to do with the food card.

    God. At least TRY to research something before making a buffoon of yourself. There are no "Food Stamps". That's a left-over term. It's all on cards now. You know, bank cards or credit cards.
