Other pot shops reluctant to give Joints for Jabs with lack of guidance. Author: Drew Mikkelsen Updated: 9:35 AM PDT June 15, 2021
SPANAWAY, Wash. While the state’s “Joints for Jabs” campaign is getting off to a slow start, a Spanaway pot shop owner called the clinic in her parking lot Saturday a success.
“It was amazing,” said Tamara Berkley, owner of Natural Blessing Cannabis.
Berkley estimates 30 people received COVID-19 vaccines.
While they all were eligible for free marijuana, some of the recipients turned down joints, according to employee Savannah Kahn.
Many pot shop owners have been reluctant to offer vaccines on their property, citing concerns over liability or federal violations, Berkley felt confident when she learned the state Department of Health said it would pay for the private medical staff administering the shots.
