The city of Rancho Mirage (near Palm Springs) in southern California is offering residents a deal that would be difficult to pass up for anyone — a $25 monthly travel subsidy in order to pick up your pot from the dispensary.

Well, probably a lot less fun considering they have been motions passed to ban all outdoor music, but I digress. The old folks want their weed and they got their city to pay for it — that’s civic engagement at its finest, folks.
