A Future Filled With Cannabis Cafes

in #weedcash7 years ago


It's official, the first cannabis cafe just opened this week in the United States, located in Los Angeles. Known as the Lowell Cafe, they will be serving cannabis daily, along with other food options. But they won't be serving your typical stoner food.

Lowell Farms, behind Lowell Cafe, is reported as the first cannabis-themed farm-to-table restaurant to open in the country.

They have a chef who trained at Le Cordon Bleu and the menu that they have created is expected to accompany cannabis strains that will be offered at the cafe. You will be able to find meals that have been prepared using food that comes from local farmers markets and you can expect the menu to change seasonally.

The food won't be infused with cannabis because of rules in place preventing such freedom, but they will have some pre-packaged, cannabis-infused products that are available for purchase.

The cafe features a dispensary area that allows guests to purchase edibles, vapes, and other cannabis items.

Those behind the cafe said that they felt a need to create a welcoming space, where cannabis users could come and enjoy the consumption in their community. It's also a space for those who might be curious about cannabis as well and interested in learning more. It is a chance for individuals to experience cannabis in a restaurant-like setting and they insist that there hasn't been a lounge like this in the United States for 100 years.

It hopefully won't be the last either, as plans have been announced for other similar venues to be built in other regions like Nevada, Oregon, and Colorado.

Cannabis Cafes Around The World

Some of the popular cannabis cafes that you can already find in the international market include: the Kaya Herb House in Jamaica, Grey Area in Amsterdam, and of course there have been many others but a great deal have had to fight for freedom to stay open along the way.

For example, in recent years one of the oldest cannabis cafes in Amsterdam had to shut its doors down because of a regulation preventing them from operating too close to a school.

In the United States, there was one cannabis cafe that was previously opened in Portland Oregon, the World Famous Cannabis Cafe, and it was regarded as the first in the country of its kind that was only open to medical cannabis cardholders. It was later closed after warnings from public health officials insisted that the venue violated indoor air rules.

The state has cracked down on cannabis cafes in a variety of places, even if the market has shown support for the concept.

In the United States, lawmakers are still trying to fight the idea of cannabis cafes spreading to certain regions. Despite the fact that no one is forcing those lawmakers to make a purchase at or visit the cafe if they don't want to; they don't want others to have the freedom to make that choice.

For the cafe in West Hollywood that just opened, users are able to consume cannabis that is either vaped or rolled. They want guests to feel comfortable staying for awhile and unwinding with friends or family etc, but they do recommend a 1.5 hour limit on visits because of the high demand for the venue.

I can certainly imagine a future filled with ganja cafes. It’s like everything stirs use to talk about as fantasy is coming to reality.

You write frequently about cannabis. I wonder if the new wonder drug, CBD is palliative or effective given the low doses over the counter (and high cost)💭

I have seen that cannabis has great potential for healing, cbd along with that, but there are a lot of low-quality and fraudulent products out there because it has become so popular, some of them listing CBD that have been found without any trace of CBD whatsoever inside. 😲

To be sure of quality users can either create their own or seek out get it from a trusted source👍there are places that can independently verify your products for you to tell you about the quality for ex. Have you seen videos of children given cbd oil which helps them stop seizures? it's amazing, been showing promise for both pets and animals and I believe we need more freedom in this area so that researchers can explore the full potential here🙏

Just tax them and treat them like any other business. No smoking inside, labour laws, and food & safety standards.
