Have you ever wondered why unlicensed cannabis dispensaries call transactions ‘donations?’ Or why your purchase may come with a ‘gift?’
Well, there’s actually a pretty simple explanation.
By the dispenser calling it a donation, or saying they’re gifting cannabis, they’re able to circumvent the law.
Unlicensed dispensaries do this because they believe they’re not technically ‘selling’ you cannabis.
By calling the exchange a ‘donation,’ they’re attempting to frame it as a charitable act, rather than a commercial transaction.
Simply put, these sellers use the term ‘donation’ as a way to avoid legal consequences for their actions.
