Marijuana business offers weed for weeds on clean-up day

GARDINER, Maine (AP) — A medical marijuana businessman in Maine is offering weed for weeds in a programme to encourage Gardiner residents to clean up their city.

WCSH-TV reports that Dennis Meehan, owner of Summit Medical Marijuana, offered residents who collected trash free marijuana. The businessman says anyone who was over 21 was offered free marijuana if they presented a bag of trash that was collected in town.

Meehan’s company advertised the clean-up effort on Facebook, and he says he hopes to expand what he calls “the day of service” programme to the entire state. Mehan says the programme is about bringing awareness to the “life-changing” nature of cannabis as well.

Gifting marijuana is legal in Maine.

Meehan says he got the idea for the swap from a Colorado town’s similar programme.
