Wasington state residents of legal age can get a free joint at a licensed marijuana store if they receive an on-site coronavirus vaccine, officials said Monday.
The “Joints for Jabs” program was approved by the state Liquor and Cannabis Board as a way to entice residents to get vaccinated.
The initiative applies to anyone over 21. In exchange for getting a shot at an on-site clinic, licensed adult-use weed shops will dish out a free pre-rolled joint.

Breweries, wineries and restaurants can offer free drinks in exchange for proof of vaccination. Free sports tickets and prize money of up to $1 million are also being offered.
