California City Mandates Marijuana Dispensaries Give Away ‘Welfare Weed’

Back in July, the city council of Berkeley, CA floated the idea of mandating that medical marijuana dispensaries should be forced to donate a percentage of their supply to welfare recipients who have qualified to use the drug medicinally.

The ordinance received unanimous approval from city council on its first reading. A representative for Berkeley’s mayor Tom Bates explained to TheBlaze that a second reading of the ordinance was required before the mandate would become law.

The second reading, which recently passed — again unanimously — instructs dispensaries to distribute the equivalent of 2% of their inventory to low-income people who hold medical marijuana cards.
