The "Weed Fairy" paid a visit to Seattle over Memorial Day weekend.
According to the Associated Press, Yeni "Danksy Appleweed" Sleidi, handed out free nuggets of the green leafy substance to people in the streets of the coastal seaport city.
Sleidi told AP that recipients gave her a humorous reaction.
"People mostly laughed," Sleidi said.
Sleidi also said she wanted to help her friends cope with stress associated with Oct. 2013's U.S. government shutdown while in Brooklyn, N.Y. throughout the crisis.
"I'm not sure what the thought process was but I thought people would be amused by it," Sleidi said.
According to the Huffington Post, Sleidi initially put up fliers with small bags of marijuana throughout Brooklyn. "These are tough times. Take this weed," a note attached to the small parcel read.
She then displayed the same signs in Seattle's urban neighborhood - famous for nightlife and counterculture.
Sleidi said she would not feel right associating herself with her fairy duties if the state of Washington hadn't legalized recreational marijuana in 2012.
"I felt so relaxed about it... I wouldn't feel comfortable doing it elsewhere in the country," Sleidi said.
According to Fox television station KCPQ in Seattle, Sleidi is not concerned about authorities arresting her for giving out free marijuana in the evergreen state, like she was when distributing it in New York.
"I've been more open about it in Washington. They have worse things to worry about; I don't think they are going to come after the weed fairy," Sleidi told KCPQ.
Washington state law will soon allow marijuana users to sell the substance in 2014. Colorado legalized the plant in 2012 before making it public in 2013.
According to AP, users cannot smoke the substance in public places.
Denver, Colo., City Attorney Scott Martinez recently reportedly grew concerned that the Colorado Symphony Orchestra's bring-your-own-cannabis fundraising event would prompt concert attendees to light up in open spaces.
