'Pot for Shots' campaign to encourage COVID-19 vaccinations with free joints extended through March

A promotion to encourage people to get the COVID-19 vaccine by offering free pre-rolled joints from a local cannabis dispensary was so successful that it's now being extended through March.

The Greenhouse of Walled Lake says it's given away more than 4,000 pre-rolls through its "Pot for Shots" campaign since launching it in January.





“I wanted to raise awareness of the importance of getting the COVID-19 vaccination as our state and our nation battle this devastating pandemic," owner Jerry Millen said in a statement. "'Pot for Shots' is my way of reaching out to both our existing and new customers. I have always supported the safe and responsible use of cannabis and I hope and pray that this is the beginning of the end of this horrible pandemic."

I believe I read where Geo Washington threw BBQ to entice people to come and vote for him... Worked then and it might work now...YMMV

My mom is 84, lives in MI and can't find anywhere where she can get the Covid 19 shot.
Signed up all over the place, they're restricted by county... NOTHING

But, I blame that on Tя☭mp and his parting shot.

On the other hand your mom could legally buy and possess a joint.

Good and bad in both states. I have lived in both and ended up back in Michigan. I did bring a kind beautiful Ohio nurse back with me.

Grew up there - love the lakes. Wouldn't mind retiring there - even with the large (in some places) MAGA crowd.
It just seems their vaccination roll out is pretty screwed up - likely some effect of gross GOP mismanagement or influence/vindictiveness etc.
