"Free Cannabis For A Year" Contest Overview
Free Weed for a Year? YES!
This November, nine states will be voting to legalize it either for medicinal or recreational purposes. How can you help us “blaze the vote?” The answer is surprisingly simple; show up on Election Day (Tuesday, November 8th, 2016) and make your voice heard. Every vote counts and as if flexing your voting muscle wasn’t satisfying enough - we’re here to sweeten the pot - by giving away a year’s supply of cannabis! (Yes, you read that right and it isn’t the edible kicking in).
That’s right, buds. Cannabis.net is giving away a Cannabis for Year.
Contest Dates
Start: October 10, 2016
End: April 20, 2017, 11:59pm EDT
Prize Value
While local and state laws vary from state to state, Cannabis.net will abide by all state and local laws regarding the winner’s location and state. Once the winner has been determined, all state and federal guidelines for contests and marijuana laws will be followed. Since states have different rules as far as quantity and time frames, we will follow all state laws pertaining to amounts and conditions. Hence, we can’t get you more cannabis than the state allows you to have over a certain period. All legal requirements will be followed by the winner and by Cannabis.net. Once the state residence of the winner is known, then the prize amount can be determined to abide by all statutes and laws.
