Everybody must get stoned? In Berkeley, California, a city known for its progressive values, a law passed unanimously this summer by the Berkeley City Council hopes to make that a reality for its poor who need marijuana for medical purposes.
Under the law, starting next summer marijuana dispensaries must set aside 2 percent of their supply for low-income customers with a prescription for medical marijuana. In Berkeley, that means that those who earn less than $32,000 per year (or $46,000 per family) will be eligible for the free pot. The drug, which can cost $400 an ounce, is often out of reach for those with lower incomes
