Cannabis Grower, Dispensaries to Donate One-Tenth of Sales to Bernie Sanders Campaign

[Cheese Sandwich]

Two affiliated Oregon-certified, OMMP-compliant marijuana dispensaries, along with a cannabis grower, have reportedly teamed up to donate 10 percent of their sales of a particular cannabis product to Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign. Given Bernie Sanders’ support of removing marijuana from the DEA’s Schedule I, both the owners of the dispensaries and the cannabis grower have pledged 5 percent of the sale of a particular cannabis to total 10 percent of the consumer’s purchase price to be donated to Bernie’s presidential run, KATU Channel 2 News reported.

Dispensaries Foster Buds and Glisan Buds will donate 5 percent from each sale of premium cone from Farmer 12, according to Facebook posts. Meanwhile, the actual marijuana grower, Farmer 12, will also donate 5 percent until they both individually meet the donation limit. Foster Buds will also be giving away a free “Bern one for Bernie” T-shirt with the purchases of the premium cone, according to posts on the facility’s Facebook page.

On July 1, 2015, recreational marijuana became legal in Oregon, according to Foster Buds. Customers are allowed to possess up to one ounce of marijuana in public and up to eight ounces of the plant at home. Users are also permitted to grow up to four plants per household, according to the dispensary.

Foster Buds’ owners wrote of the joint pledge to donate one-tenth of the sale of the Farmer 12 joints on Instagram and explained the reason.

“The cannabis community has never been appropriately represented or considered on a federal stage. Cannabis enthusiasts, supporters, and medical patients come from every walk of life now, and we all deserve a President who will rally to reschedule cannabis and transform America’s Cannabis policies. We believe Bernie Sanders is the best and most likely candidate to appropriately represent the needs of our community.”

Happy to be educated though. Not every small business is structured as a corporation
