Among other incentives in other states, including cash and lottery drawings, which will hopefully increase the number of people who get the shot as the new york times recently reported in Washington state, specifically, 42% of residents still haven't had a single dose of the vaccine. The joints for JabS program offering free cannabis will last through july 12th
