LOS ANGELES — Starting next year, diners in the western US state of California can smoke cannabis at certain restaurants, thanks to a new law allowing for 'cannabis cafes' akin to those popularized in the Netherlands.Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill into law Monday authorizing businesses that are already licensed to sell cannabis to serve hot food and non-alcoholic beverages.It will go into effect on January 1, 2025.
The liberal enclave hopes to compete with Amsterdam and already hosts 'cannabis lounges,' where dispensaries are attached to separate bars or restaurants.Now, the law will allow any business in the state to follow the same model without falling into a legal gray area.Not everyone is in favor of the move, however.Public health advocates have expressed concern about the effect smoking cannabis in restaurants can have on lung health.
