Daily News | New Jersey is planning for public marijuana lounges. But some are criticizing proposed restrictions.
That may soon change with the coming arrival of “cannabis consumption areas,” the draft rules for which. They would allow marijuana dispensaries to have indoor or outdoor spaces where customers can smoke, vaporize, or eat cannabis products in a public setting, like a weed lounge version of a bar or restaurant.
“It’s hard for people to picture what a cannabis lounge under these rules looks like,” said Chris Goldstein, regional organizer for the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.One restriction consumers have taken issue with is the proposed rules’ ban on consumption areas selling food or drink. Customers would be able to bring their own food, or have it delivered.
“What do consumers expect from a consumption lounge? Basically, your average coffeeshop, then add in marijuana and other products,” Goldstein said. “What will they do there that they can’t do at home?”
