Unlike here where the food “stamps” (ATM cards) can be used for booze, condoms, cigarettes, casinos, etc. .

The Food ("SNAP") benefits can not be legally used to purchase those items or services, as I'm sure you well know.

“”The Food (”SNAP”) benefits can not be legally used to purchase those items or services,””

Correct.

Not legally.

And not all benefits are “SNAP.”
