state lawmakers approved Assembly Bill 1775 by Asm. Matt Haney (D-San Francisco)<\/a>, which opened the door to Amsterdam-style cannabis caf\u00e9s in California.<\/p>\n“This is exactly what we envisioned when I authored the bill to make it possible for cities to legalize cannabis caf\u00e9s, and it’s exciting to see San Francisco lead the way in making that vision a reality,” Haney said.<\/p>\n
Under the ordinance, cannabis retailers would be allowed to prepare and serve food and non-alcoholic beverages for consumption alongside cannabis at their establishments. The ordinance also creates a new cannabis caf\u00e9 permit, allowing for purpose-built spaces where cannabis consumption may be offered alongside food, beverages and entertainment.<\/p>\n
Cannabis sales in caf\u00e9s would be limited to sales for on-site consumption only. No alcohol or tobacco would be allowed, officials said. <\/p>\n
Caf\u00e9s would also have to meet the same health code and California Retail Food Code standards as other food establishments, follow ventilation and signage rules and verify customers’ ages at the door.<\/p>\n
If the measure takes effect, only existing licensed cannabis retailers and their equity partners would be allowed to apply for cannabis caf\u00e9 permits during the first year.<\/p>\n
According to the city’s Office of Cannabis, 79 cannabis retailer permits have been issued, of which 66 were active as of earlier this year.<\/p>\n
