Why hasn't anyone suggested "rim inspections" since apparently people seem to think rims are also common abuse. Rims cost a hell of a lot more than a blunt too. To me the fact that drugs are illegal is irrelevant because the food stamp program should focus on feeding people, not enforcing drug laws.
I said both, I would honestly much rather see them inspect homes and vehicles than look for a little joint, I don't care if they smoke, I care if they get sick from it and end up benefiting medically as well but that's not really the point right now. I say if you get benefits, you have strict restrictions to what you can own meaning no PS3, no rimzzzzz, no $1000 systems, etc. If you have all that, sell it to try and get out of your slum. A huge majority in this country have their priorities completely mixed up.
