Gavin Newsom Signs Bill to Create Marijuana Cafés in California
Breitbart ^ | 10/02/2024 | Joel B. Pollak

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed a law this week that will allow the creation of Amsterdam-style marijuana cafés, after vetoing a similar measure last year due to concerns about smoking in public places.
The bill, AB 1775,
would authorize a local jurisdiction, if specified conditions are met, to allow for the preparation or sale of noncannabis food or beverage products, as specified, by a licensed retailer or microbusiness in the area where the consumption of cannabis is allowed, and to allow, and to sell tickets for, live musical or other performances on the premises of a licensed retailer or microbusiness in the area where the consumption of cannabis is allowed.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported:Last year, Newsom vetoed an earlier version of the bill, writing in his veto message that the bill could “undermine California’s long-standing smoke-free workplace protections.”
This iteration, which passed the Assembly 63-5 and passed the Senate 30-7, contains amendments designed to address public health concerns, according to Senator Benjamin Allen, who co-sponsored the legislation. The United Commercial and Food Workers union backed the bill, according to Haney’s office.
Those amendments include requirements for cafes to post warnings that cannabis consumption will occur on site, requiring employers to include secondhand smoke and workplace hazard evaluations, and for local governments to consider ventilation and filtration requirements when permitting cafes.

Help keep California Democrat by making people stupider on a large scale. The same way they do homeless people by putting fentanyl in the meth keeping them hopelessly addicted and living in tents and effectively disenfranchising them and waiting for them to die while at the same time importing millions of new citizens from around the world.

Will there be voting machines for illegal aliens in these weed smoking bars?
Does California give a free debit card for weed?
What a goofy place.

What if you smoke a cigarette in a weed smoking bar? Do you go to jail for that?

Well, sending them to Cafes to smoke their weed will sure take care of their “munchie” problems.

Newsom says he likes to self-medicate. Even he can’t stand himself.

My brother’s high school buddy referred to smoking dope as “getting stupid”. As in “Let’s go get stupid”.
He was quite discerning, that one.
Of course, judging by their fruit, Kommiefornia has collectively been “getting stupid” for decades now.
