The donation reporting bot in #wikimedia-donations reported a rather disturbing donation a few minutes ago: [00:42] <Donations> jason birring LEGALIZE MARIJUANA ($0) . Perhaps we should set a minimum donation?

Sounds like the guy's playing a joke. Sometimes the preventive measures are just not worth the effort unles the problem is a frequent one.

Causes no harm, really - the silly comments won't be visible to anyone not digging through the donation log, and if they do that they'll be aware enough that they're personal comments.
I suspect it's someone figuring that our sitenotice is updated live rather than running off preselected comments, and hoping they can get a message in there... and if so, let's not tell him and see if he tries again with more money ;-)

Yes, exactly :-)
This is one of several reasons the comments aren't updated live in the sitenotice.
