Weed Are the 99%

I just found this bag of weed on the sidewalk outside the VICE office. The sticker on the front reads, "Sincerely, the 99%." Are these people doling out free drugs now? If so, I have a feeling that The Movement is about to attract a lot of people who, until now, didn't "really care, man."

The other, more likely option is that the original owner of this satchel was handed some "We are the 99%" paraphernalia while smoking a rather large joint in a park, stuck it on his or her baggie, came back to Brooklyn, rolled up another one on the sidewalk outside my place of employment, and mistakenly walked off without the goods. Then I came along, scanning the ground for diamonds and gold because of this Penn and Teller thing I saw yesterday, but I found weed instead. I guess that's better than nothing.

Then again, last Friday I went down to that Occupy Broadway thing and heard someone in the background yelling "Free marijuana!" At the time I thought some NYU sophomore was mispronouncing "Mumia," but maybe not. Maybe free drugs sprinkled randomly around city sidewalks are the key to the public's heart. All I ask is that your message makes more sense than the guy below, which shouldn't be that difficult. Thanks dudes!
