If anything, cannabis seems like a much better (and more profitable) drug around which to build a leisurely establishment.

    Its hard to justify it for the same reasons we can’t have Shisha bars and smoking lounges (at least where I live): 2nd hand smoke.

    I can, as a non drinker, go to a bar and have myself a soda, and leave there as sober as when I walked in. If I do that in a room where everyone is smoking up, I will get high from the second hand smoke whether I want to for not.

    I mean, why not just have a general social club with coffee/food, games, etc, and just step outside for a puff?

      The smoke issue has been solved. I’ve been to cigar lounges that do not smell outside and barely smell inside, despite over a dozen people smoking sotgies in there. Massive HVAC systems and filters handle it all.

        They also still allow smoking in casinos in Vegas because they don’t want to lose those addicts as customers. The amazing HVAC systems in casinos was part of why they were able to open back up so fast.
