(PCM) Residents in the city of Berkeley, California that qualify as low-income will be offered the chance to receive free marijuana as early as next summer.
The San Francisco news is reporting that the city will require their medical marijuana dispensaries to giveaway two percent of the medical marijuana that they see each year to assist low-income families.
Although they must still have a prescription, if a person earns less that $32,000 per year individually or $46,000 for a family then they will meet the eligibility requirements to receive free marijuana at one of the dispensaries in the city.
It was a unanimous vote from the Berkeley City Council and there are even plans to open a fourth dispensary in the city. It was the councils goal to be sure that all residents regardless of income level would have the same access to treatment via medicinal marijuana as everyone else in the city.
