"Joints for Jabs" is officially now a thing! But not in India. In Washington.
The state's Liquor and Cannabis Board says licensed adult-use marijuana retail shops can give away a single pre-rolled joint to anyone over 21 who gets a shot at an on-site vaccine clinic held by July 12.
The board has already allowed breweries, wineries and restaurants to offer free drinks in exchange for proof of vaccination. Other incentives being offered in Washington include free sports tickets and prize money of up to $1 million.
The idea is to persuade more people to get vaccinated, and help control the deadly virus.
But this isn't the first time. In Arizona, the Mint Cannabis Dispensary partnered with a medical group to offer free, onsite vaccinations at its three Phoenix vaccination locations. Those who were vaccinated at the clinics and 21 years of age or older received a free pre-rolled joint and an edible cannabis gummy. They called the initiative “Snax for Vaxx.”
