California Lawmakers Approve Bills To Allow Cannabis Cafes, Let Farmers Sell Weed At Certain Events

California lawmakers have sent Gov. Gavin Newsom several bills

California lawmakers have sent Gov. Gavin Newsom bills that would allow cannabis cafes and let cannabis farmers sell their products at certain temporary events.

Assembly Bill 1775 would legalize Amsterdam-style cannabis cafes.

Under the proposed law, cities and counties could allow existing cannabis retailers and consumption lounges to diversify their businesses beyond only being allowed to sell cannabis products. In this case, the cannabis retailer could sell non-cannabis food and non-alcoholic drinks, according to a fact sheet by the bill’s author, Assemblymember Matt Haney. Cannabis retailers could also hold live performances.

AB 1775 passed the state Senate Tuesday on a 30-7 vote and passed the Assembly Wednesday on a 63-5 vote.
