BackgroundColorado and Washington both allow residents to buy marijuana legally.[1]Existing law bans the use of welfare funds at strip clubs, liquor stores, and casinos.[1] Provisions of the billThis summary is based largely on the summary provided by the Congressional Research Service, a public domain source.[2]The Preserving Welfare for Needs Not Weed Act would amend part A (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) (TANF) of title IV of the Social Security Act (SSA) to require a state receiving a TANF grant to maintain policies and practices necessary to prevent assistance under the TANF program from being used in any electronic benefit transfer (via a card) at any establishment that offers marijuana for sale.[2] Procedural historyThe Preserving Welfare for Needs Not Weed Act was introduced into the United States House of Representatives on March 4, 2014 by Rep. David G. Reichert (R, WA-8).[3] The bill was referred to the United States House Committee on Ways and Means.[3] On September 16, 2014, the House voted in a voice vote to pass the bill.[1] The 2018 JOBS bill included a “Preserving Welfare for Needs not Weed” provision. Debate and discussionAn article on the passage of the bill that was published by ThinkProgress accused the bill of "stigmatizing welfare recipients as druggies."[4] The article described several studies into the drug usage of people on welfare, all of them finding that people on welfare use illegal drugs at a lower rate than the general population.[4] Rep. Reichert, who sponsored the bill, said that "the fact that some people are using welfare for weed is outrageous."[5] Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) criticized the bill for focusing on the wrong issue and not doing anything to "address the tattered safety net."[5] See also
