Medical marijuana dispensaries in Berkeley will likely soon be required to provide free pot to low-income members and homeless people, according to an ordinance approved by the city council on Tuesday.

The city is also looking to approve a fourth dispensary, raising the current limit of three locations.

The proposed ordinance, first reported by the East Bay Express, requires that Berkeley dispensaries give away two percent of the amount of cannabis they sell each year low-income people. And the pot 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."

They should also have to give away diaphragms and IUDs. And condoms. And Viagra and Cialis. And four years of college education in dramatic arts, sociology and women's studies.

You act as if it is not a legitimate medicine.....well bad news. In one year, this might make more sense. A Sociology class might be just what you need.

Why should cannabis dispensaries be REQUIRED BY LAW to give away 2% of their product? Why not car dealers, jewelers, grocery stores, electronics stores etc...? Are they not already paying taxes?

Yet another fucked up course of action coming out of the madness that is the California government.

That shit should be struck down in court with extreme prejudice.

They cant have private industry controlling billion dollar market. So they tax up to 65% before it hits consumer hands. Anything that can be made profit will be diminished little by little by donating free meds or application and renewal fees...

It cannot be possible for normal people to open a store and become very successful. When the feds legalize it, the industry will come with all sorts of strings attached so only the big corporations who donate to politicians will be approved and prices outrageous then all this free stuff by law to be given out now will magically disappear.

The rich and politically connected get richer... the lower an middle class need to stay where they are.
