San Francisco Supervisors Approve Cannabis Cafés Offering Food, Live Entertainment
“San Francisco just gave our legal cannabis industry a real tool to compete”
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved an ordinance that would allow for Amsterdam-style cannabis cafés serving food and drinks, along with offering live entertainment.
In a vote Tuesday, the board gave final approval for the legislation authored by Board President Rafael Mandelman, sending the measure to Mayor Daniel Lurie’s desk.
“San Francisco just gave our legal cannabis industry a real tool to compete and grow,” Mandelman said in a statement following the decision. “Cannabis cafés are part of this city’s recovery, right alongside our entertainment zones, neighborhood activation, and free concerts, and today’s vote makes sure our legal retailers aren’t left behind.”
The city is the first in the Bay Area to authorize such establishments, after state lawmakers approved Assembly Bill 1775 by Asm. Matt Haney (D-San Francisco), which opened the door to Amsterdam-style cannabis cafés in California.
