In a bold move that’s raising eyebrows and spirits, San Francisco’s city officials have announced the launch of the “High Spirits Initiative,” a program designed to distribute free cannabis to all residents over the age of 21. The initiative, which aims to elevate the mood of the city, has been met with a mix of laughter and applause.
The city’s mayor, in a statement delivered with a wry smile, declared, “In these trying times, we believe in the power of community—and sometimes, that means communal cannabis.” The program, which will see the city’s coffers dispense a staggering $3 million for the cause, has been dubbed by locals as “The Great Green Giveaway.”
Critics of the initiative have been quick to voice concerns about the potential for increased munchies-related snack consumption, but supporters argue that the move could spark a new wave of joy and creativity. “It’s like a city-wide art project where the medium is mirth,” explained one enthusiastic supporter.
The “High Spirits Initiative” is set to roll out next month, with distribution centers popping up in parks and public spaces across the city. While the program’s long-term effects remain to be seen, one thing is certain: San Francisco is about to get a whole lot happier.
