Here's a holiday story of giving that will warm your heart. Granny Purps, a Californian marijuana dispensary, solicited donations for the homeless with an unusual offer: a member could receive one free joint for every four cans of food donated. The drive was a resounding success, with the eight employee dispensary receiving over 11,000 pounds of food, an amount typical of businesses four-to-five times their size.
I'm tired of hearing people complain that this country has lost its moral compass; that today's youth lack empathy and compassion. Americans are a good-hearted, generous people, willing to help feed and clothe the less fortunate during the season of giving. All it takes to get people into the holiday spirit is an offer of free drugs.
