Free Weed for the Poor and Weekend Links
The Berkeley, CA city council has tentatively voted to force the 3 and soon-to-be 4 medical marijuana dispensaries to give away 2% of their marijuana to the poor and homeless in their community each year.
And the pot they give away can’t be poor quality either.
The proposed city ordinance reads (PDF) that the “medical cannabis provided under this section shall be the same quality on average” as marijuana “dispensed to other members.”
According to this report, an eligible person must qualify for exemption from local taxes and fees, an income level that’s set every year by the city council.
That equates to $32,000 a year for one person and $46,000 a year for a family of four.
The free pot ordinance is awaiting final approval, but could become law in August.
So… free Obama bud.
What could go wrong?
