Valley Fire, September 13, 2015
The Valley Fire that began on September 12 in Northern California is one of the worst fires in California history. Burning over 76,000 acres, the fire has claimed four lives and destroyed almost 2,000 homes. Many people in the path of the fire had very little time to get themselves out of danger, consequently losing nearly everything they owned.
Donations of goods have been flooding in to offer some comfort to the victims. Food, clothing, diapers, and all manner of other things were generously donated. And now, two medical marijuana dispensaries are also offering people displaced by the fire what they can, free marijuana.
Since Thursday of last week and running through October 7, Care By Design and AbsoluteXtracts are offering up to $200 in marijuana per individual provided they have a medical marijuana card and can prove they lived in the devastated communities of Cobb, Kelseyville, Middeltown or Hidden Valley Lake.
A statement by the two companies read in part “This disaster happened in our own backyard. As a company that prides itself on putting patient needs first, we felt there was no better time to reach out and help our neighbors in their time of need.”
This is a very kind gesture, one almost certainly a historical first. It's just too bad that the dispensaries have to limit their product to just those with medical marijuana cards. Everyone who wants to should be able to pass around a joint and commiserate together. It is time for this country to grow up and dump our draconian marijuana laws.
People prove all the time that the human being can really be an asshole. It warms my humanity when we prove we can be remarkably kind creatures too.
