Jon sent me this story.
The city council of Berkeley has approved an ordinance stating that the three marijuana dispensaries in the city will probably have to offer pot to low-income members and homeless people at no charge.
How neat is that? Poor people can now get good weed as well. After all I’m sure it’s a right. It’s prolly right there in the Constitution right next to the right to get an abortion.
The East Bay Express first revealed that the ordinance requires the dispensaries to donate 2% of the marijuana they sell every year to people in the low-income bracket. The ordinance commands that the pot be at least as good as what is normally dispensed, not a cheap rip-off, writing that the “medical cannabis provided under this section shall be the same quality on average” as marijuana “dispensed to other members.”
It’s only “fair”. This is just another way to address the “income inequality” Obungler keeps ranting about as he waves goodbye to Moochelle, his daughters, and Moochelle’s freeloading mother as they take off for another lavish vacation that most Americans can’t afford.
Sean Luce with the Berkeley Patients Group defended the ordinance, saying, “It’s sort of a cruel thing that when you are really ill and you do have a serious illness…it can be hard to work, it can be hard to maintain a job and when that happens, your finances suffer and then you can’t buy the medicine you need.”
Off course the reason many of these people are out of work was because they were too stoned to make it to their jobs.
Eligibility is based on the recipient having an exemption from local taxes and fees, amounting to making less than $32,000 a year for one person and $46,000 a year for a family of four.
I wonder if they’ll cover all the food they’re gonna need when they get the munchies because of the pot?
Beam me up Scotty!
Let see:
– Look for a new lease outside of Berkeley? Check
– Mark up prices 10% to cover the ‘free weed’ ordinance? Check
– Talk to the ACLU about a Takings Clause lawsuit? Check.
Estimated time until Berzerkely has no pot shops? 1 week after the lease expires on the last shop..
Just one more reason not to go to Berzerkely. Or Kalifornikate in general.
The land of fruits and nuts.
NO Federal bailout when (not if) Kalifornikate goes chichas arriba!!
Equal choom for all!
If you make 30 K a year you can buy your own damn pot. Notice that I didn’t say EARN. Most of the folks claiming a need for Medical Marijuana are Pothead slackers. We legalized pot here in Washington and the newly legal pot is selling for $25 dollars a Gram. So much for cheap pot. We have the most expensive booze in the country and it looks like the state is going to screw up the pot market just as badly. In the interest of full disclosure, the last pot I bought was in the mid sixties and it was 10 dollars an ounce. It was cheap mexican weed that was full of sticks, seeds, and twigs, but it was still Pot and it kicked our asses.
All part of the plan. Keep all the derelicts stoned. Designated drivers will haul them to the voting booths to pull the lever for the democrats. Free Twinkies and Doritos all around. They’ll keep a couple of neutered republicans around in the museum. Welcome to the Brave New World.
