A Brooklyn individual that wishes to remain unnamed donated half of his earnings to Hurricane Sandy Victims, most would think that was commendable if he didn’t make the money selling Marijuana. Some controversy over the donation has sprouted due to people having opinions but the dealer says those in need don’t care where the help comes from. Hit the jump for more.

One individual has found a unique way to help out the victims of Hurricane Sandy: Selling the (mostly) illegal drug, marijuana.
Speaking to The Huffington Post, the anonymous marijuana dealer said that he donated half of the proceeds made by selling the drug over two days last week to the victims of Hurricane Sandy.
The marijuana dealer was apparently unconcerned with the ethical implications of donating drug money to the storm’s relief program. After all, victims of Hurricane Sandy need supplies, and the situation does post an interesting question: Should drug money be used by charities? We can debate the merits of the legality or illegality of marijuana all day, but donating drug proceeds to the victims in the Rockaways, some of whom still do not have power, may still prompt some negative emotions.
But the marijuana dealer who donated simply wanted to help out, raising $700 for the cause.
“Look, there are probably some people down there [in the Rockaways] who want some marijuana — but that’s not going to clothe and feed them,” he said. “So in order for me to help, I needed to turn what I do into something concrete that I could give to them.”
Help is help beggars cant be choosey and at least he sells a drug that ppl need to stay alive
