The need for free weed has led a Vancouver company called Lift to launch a contest in which somebody can win a gram of medical pot a day for a full year.

According to Lift’s David Brown, the pot giveaway is open to anyone who has a doctor’s note for a medical marijuana prescription and registers by July 18.

“One winner will be selected randomly in a digital name-in-the-hat-type selection,” he said Wednesday of the promotion.

And Brown adds that while Lift’s website promotes the use of medical marijuana and since they’re not a distributor, they can run a contest that promotes pot use. “We are not affiliated with anyone,” said Brown.

Lift says the contest is open to any Canadian residents who are the age of majority in their province or territory (excluding Quebec).
