“We’re just hoping people come in and say hi and get a little joint for free,” said Smokers Mecca owner Grant McCabe, who plans to hand out free joints today at the Beacon shop.
Smokers Mecca
A smoke shop in Beacon is launching “Free Joint Friday” today and plans to give away free marijuana joints to customers age 21 and older.
The event will be held today and next Friday between 3 and 6 p.m. or until supplies run out at Smokers Mecca in Beacon, located at 285 Main Street.
“We’re just hoping people come in and say hi and get a little joint for free,” said owner Grant McCabe, who also owns The Leaf NY on the other end of Main Street in Beacon.
He emphasized that the joints are real and aren’t synthetic cannabinoid or some other version of THC or CBD. “It’s something cool to do for our customers and the Hudson Valley.”

McCabe said he hopes Free Joint Fridays bring more attention to the store, and he’ll see how it goes before committing to next month as well.
“I don’t want to upset the town … I have to be courteous to my neighbors,” said McCabe.
