Not only has marijuana been legalized (the cops are no longer caring to arrest lawbreakers of this crime) but the city of Berkeley has decided that if you plead poverty you can get FREE marijuana for your cancer, your stress or your loneliness. It has come down to this, free legal pot in Berkeley. My only hope is that as they get stoned they forget to vote.
“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.”

Berkeley Requires Marijuana Dispensaries To Provide Free Weed For Low-Income Patients
CBS San Fran, 7/3/14
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.
The measure also revisits definitions for cannabis collectives and dispensaries, patients and caregivers, on top of setting new rules for hours of operation and the methods for testing cannabis and edibles.
One Berkeley marijuana dispensary, the Berkeley Patients Group, already gives out free cannabis to the poor, and has for 15 years.
“We’ve found out over the years that one of the cruel realities is that when you do get sick and you have a serious illness is that it’s often hard to keep a job, can be hard to keep your income up, so those people really need the help the most,” said Sean Luse of Berkeley Patients Group.
The measure is set for final approval next week.

Berkeley became unlivable decades ago…
What next for the uber libturd whackos in bagdad by the bay? Free birth to death food and comforts? Paid for by OTHERS like ..TAXPAYERS? Seriously GET real and get a life! Only in liberal La La Land of the Lost.. We are spiraling around the cesspool drain of financial insolvency and disaster and this has priority — YOU GOTTA be kidding!
How about telling the Bezerkley council, they will contribute from their own pocket the cost of making this weed avaliable to the desired party…since when does a petty government have the right to tell you to give away your profits?
Does this indicate the council members have over indulged in this weed smoking activity for much to long?
Ah, yes… I left the area some twenty years ago and have never looked back…. That pit of stupidity is still as it was and will always be… Gimmee, Gimmee, Gimmee, dope heads and other morons….on the teat of those who are willing to live as a slave….
