Berkeley Requires Marijuana Dispensaries To Provide Free Weed For Low-Income Patients

BERKELEY (CBS SF) — The city of Berkeley will require medical marijuana dispensaries to give away two percent of the amount of cannabis they sell each year free to low-income patients.

The City Council voted unanimously at Tuesday’s meeting to amend the city’s medical pot rules, which would also allow for a fourth dispensary in Berkeley.

“Basically, the city council wants to make sure that low-income, homeless, indigent folks have access to their medical marijuana, their medicine,” said Berkeley City Councilmember Darryl Moore.

Under the proposal, at least two percent of all medical weed dispensed at a club would have to be provided at no cost to very low-income members — and it must be the same quality that’s dispensed to regular paying customers.

“We think this is the responsible thing to do for those less fortunate in our community,” said Moore.

Do they require documentation of qualifying illness? I would think so.

That is hilarious.

Fuckin' California. Nowhere else in the world like it.

I'm moving to Berkeley this month, although I don't think I'd qualify for free weed.

It is amazing the far left Taliban does wants to regulate and have direct control over everything except for voting and Mary J.
