The Rise of Cannabis Cafes in Los Angeles

After a temporary three-year closure due to the pandemic, West Hollywood's first cannabis consumption lounge the Original Cannabis Cafe has reopened its doors to eager patrons. Friends Wilhelmina Simone, Montana Alexander, and Leslie Jayy were spotted enjoying a smoke session with a bong at the newly reopened OG Cannabis Cafe. The first of its kind in the area, the cafe offers a unique social experience for cannabis enthusiasts.

A state bill under consideration in California would allow legal marijuana dispensaries the right to sell non-alcoholic drinks and food to customers, paving the way for more cannabis cafes to open across the state. The cannabis community has a new hang starting this February when luxurious lounge Private Reserve opens on Santa Monica Blvd. behind the iconic Sunset Strip.

A trailblazer in the Southern California cannabis scene is back after a four-year break. OG Cannabis Café at 1201 N. La Brea Ave. in West Hollywood is once again welcoming guests to enjoy a variety of cannabis products in a relaxed and social setting. California could soon be able to go to Amsterdam-style cannabis cafés across the state if Gov. Gavin Newsom signs a recently-passed bill.

Despite Gov. Gavin Newsom's veto of the “Cannabis Cafe Bill,” West Hollywood lounge PleasureMed is reimagining the way users can experience cannabis in a social setting. Dinner and a joint have become a popular combination for many at home, and lounges like Irie in West Hollywood are bringing that experience to a public setting.

Weho's Cannabis Destination Is Back After a Four-Year Hiatus. After a hiatus of four years, a pioneering establishment in the Southern California cannabis scene has reopened its doors to the delight of local enthusiasts. With the trend of cannabis cafes on the rise, Los Angeles is quickly becoming a hub for cannabis tourism.
