    it’s part of a broader conversation on attitudes towards substance use on lemmy. I’m saying i see inconsistency in the attitudes in lemmy between one drug and another, such that alcohol = good drug; nicotine = bad drug. and we seem to see no hypocrisy with this!

    none of you seem to consider alcohol a drug. I’m absolutely disgusted that you guys think you should be able to buy drugs with money intended to prevent starvation. YOU can fuck right off with that.

    how about heroin, you wanna buy dope with food stamps too? fuck. off. WHY is alcohol so special that you think beer with food stamps is okay?

    if you can’t see how bringing up other drugs proves this point, then you might be an addict.

      Homie, where I’m from, beer is cheaper than good clean filtered water, and is far safer than plain tap water.

      Yes I drink beer. No I do not have SNAP benefits. Even if I did, I live in a state where you cannot purchase beer with SNAP.

      If someone can just riddle me why the hell beer is cheaper than filtered water, and do something about that, I’ll gladly switch back to water.
