Santa Ana is the first official city in Orange County to pass the consumption lounges effective January 2023! While this is exciting for Santa Ana residents let’s discuss some frequent questions Orange County cannabis users may have about consumption lounges hitting Orange County!
What exactly are consumption lounges?
Consumption lounges or all known as marijuana lounges are legal spaces where consumers can purchase and safely use cannabis products such as flowers, pre-rolls, edibles, and concentrates in a physical environment… Basically, it’s a legal sesh spot!
What kind of consumption lounges are there?
Consumption lounges can come in all different forms! As they pop up, there will be cannabis cafes, bars, nightclubs, and so much more. Consumption lounges can be standalone or may operate with a dispensary.
Can you bring your own weed?
In California, it is required that you must purchase it within the same day. This means that you are able to purchase cannabis at the location of the lounge. Therefore, lounges aren’t a “bring your own weed” space.
What are the benefits of a lounge?
Lounges are a great environment for stoners to smoke safely without the fear of breaking consumption laws. As long as you are 21 years of age, then you are good to smoke and hang out in peace.
You can consume in a variety of different ways, usually more than you would in your home. In most lounges, you may be able to rent or buy smoking pieces.
You may also be able to try a variety of cannabis-infused foods and drinks which makes it a great social outing without alcohol involved!
