The First US Cannabis Cafe Opens
In case you were on the fence about what part of the country to make your next move and you are considering various options, you should definitely consider Portland, OR. Why? Because they have the United States’ first cannabis cafe, that’s why.
How can this possibly work you ask?
Basically, it’s a cafe that will allow those of you with medical clearance to purchase weed and smoke it right in public. The best thing is, users won’t have to pay for marijuana inside. There is a $25 monthly fee and and you can get your weed for free inside. I would never leave.
“Our plans go beyond serving food and marijuana,” said Martinez. “We hope to have classes, seminars, even a Cannabis Community College, based here to help people learn about growing and other uses for cannabis.”
The cafe — in a two-story building which formerly housed a speak-easy and adult erotic club Rumpspankers — is technically a private club, but is open to any Oregon residents who are NORML members and hold an official medical marijuana card.
Members pay $25 per month to use the 100-person capacity cafe. They don’t buy marijuana, but get it free over the counter from “budtenders”. Open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., it serves food but has no liquor license.
Change is coming people. Can you feel it? I CANNOT wait to be able to go to a cannabis cafe in New York. The prices won’t be as good though. Definitely not.
