According to reports, the state of Washington is slated to offer free marijuana joints for those that have taken the COVID-19 vaccine.
Washington’s offer comes on the heels of several other states creating incentives to get their state residents vaccinated. The measure was approved on Monday and cannabis retailers were granted permission to provide a pre-rolled joint “to adult consumers who receive a vaccination at an in-store vaccination clinic.”
The promotion is being dubbed, “Joints for Jabs.” According to the press release:
In an effort to support COVID-19 vaccinations, the Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB) today announced that it would provide a temporary allowance to state licensed cannabis retailers to provide one joint to adult consumers who receive a vaccination at an in-store vaccination clinic. The LCB received multiple requests from cannabis retail licensees to engage in promotions to support state vaccination efforts. This allowance is effective immediately. The allowance is optional for licensees, and will expire on July 12, 2021.
