#2 Liberalsin Colorado and elsewhere have mocked concerns about welfare recipients getting high on the taxpayers' dime,

The so-called 'tipping point' has obviously been reached. Reversing this trend will be very, very difficult if not impossible. The 50+ percent entitlement crowd will not likely go quietly into the night. As predicted repeatedly over the years by Fred's astute readership, this could get very ugly.

However, donut shops, no problem.

#6 Technically pot shops cannot accept EBT cards for payment for pot now. If I understand the rules what the proposed law is intended to do is make the welfare pot buyers convert their EBT to cash somewhere else rather than at a machine right in the pot store, and then use that cash to buy their weed. Which implies EBT cards can be used somewhere to get cash - which can of course then be used to buy anything, anywhere,

#7 Welfare weed is the most pressing issue for Democrats? Little wonder that currently we have problems in this country. The Donks took to heart that old Dylan song: Everyone must get stoned.""

#8 I always liked the word "Fungibility", ya know?

A concept way too sophisticated to be grasped by the left.

#9 The Left understands 'fungibility' to mean the ability to have fun.
