LOS ANGELES — You order a sandwich, a coffee and a marijuana cigarette, then settle in for a musical performance. This could become the future under a bill aimed at changing the landscape of cannabis use in California.
The legislation put forward this month by Assemblyman Matt Haney (D-San Francisco) would legalize the sale of food and nonalcoholic beverages at cannabis retailers and lounges.
"It's not unlike a neighborhood bar or cafe where people gather and get a lot of social value [out] of that," Haney said. "We're allowing in many places on-site consumption of cannabis, but they're pretty sad places right now because you can't eat or drink."
