The times they are a'changin. Did you guys hear about this?
Out in West Hollywood, California they're opening up the country's first cannabis cafe. The food will not be infused with weed like I thought it would but instead they'll serve regular food that goes well with weed.
Howdy folks and greetings from the Great Plains of North Texas!
Yeah, the cafe is called Lowell Farms: A Cannabis Cafe. It looks tremendous.. lots of class. I bet it has some big money behind it.
They have an outdoor patio too, I think it's a rooftop thing:
They just recently got a unanimous approval from the West Hollywood Business License Commission and the opening date is September 1st.
They'll have "flower hosts" for each table who will offer different strains of weed and explain their "specific effects."
There'll also be bongs and dabs available( I don't even know what dabs are..lol) and the flower host will also roll joints for the table.
The food menu will include fried chicken sandwichs, grilled peaches and burrata, white bean hummus, and a dessert platter complete with traditional stoner fare like peanut butter cookies and ice cream sandwiches!
lol..you can't make this stuff up. Only in California but coming to the rest of America soon I'm sure.
The head chef, Andrea Drummer, said that she believes that she and her team can show how cannabis be “responsibly integrated into society.”
“It is a historic moment not only for cannabis, but the country as a whole,” Drummer said. “We are proud to bring the first-ever cannabis restaurant to the United States, and it's gratifying to open a space that will foster educational and responsible consumption.”
The cafe is putting in special air filtration systems and are planting air-purifying and odor-absorbing landscaping as an additional precaution.
It should be interesting to see how this cafe does. I think business will be extremely brisk! I think these will spread across the country in the legal states, am I wrong? How could it NOT succeed?
Thanks for reading folks, God bless you all!

PS- Have ya'll seen John Travolta lately? Remember him in Grease and Saturday Night Live? lol..
Then his hair started leaving.
And I was shocked when I saw this photo of him, I was like.."Is THAT John Travolta???" He always had that thick, black, full head of hair.
I did a double take when I saw that shot of him but hey, it works for Vin Diesel, The Rock, and the great sir @hangin ...so why not? It's a great look.
This will be like Amsterdam in America how cool i love the whole structure set up it looks very inviting and thanks for the mention putting me in with the best and the complement sir janton you are a funny man....lol :)

May be time to purchase some cannabis stocks. Have been eyeing several over the past month or so. It is amazing just how far the legalization of marijuana has come in the past several years. There're so many benefits that this plant offers to those with a variety of medical issues, soon it will be as popular as asprin #janton

Cool place. I think we are going to see a lot more of these places springing up just about everywhere. Cannabis has been around for a very long time but it has been under cover because of fed laws. The time has come for it to break out and be completely legal.

A dab is a concentrated hit of THC that consists of a earwax like golden brown glob. Usually dabs are for cancer patients but everyone does them now. Sometimes you can find shatter or wax that is over 90% THC. Believe me those hits are enough to knock you on your you know what!!!

lol! thank you Rainbowman! How do you take those dabs? What are Arkansas laws on cannabis?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
They have special glass pieces similar to bongs used to hit dabs with. Usually you have to use a torch lighter getting a titanium nail cherry red hot. Then you put the glass piece that has a hole on the top over the nail. Then with a tiny little spoon made for scooping up a little of the glob you put it on the nail. The nail as hot as it is should instantly vaporize the dab and that's when you inhale on the other end the vapor.
Arkansas recently legalized medical cannabis but the state got an injunction preventing dispensaries from opening up. Although dispensaries are starting to open up now. I think they fought and won. Got me, I don't follow up on these laws. If there is no victim there is no crime. Free men don't need permission to use a medicinal plant grown by god here on Planet Earth. So legal or not I'm still going to use cannabis. However living in town now I did invest in a vaporizer to help conceal my use. I have to be careful.

Howdy today rainbowman! That is such an excellent explanation of how taking in those dabs works. A red hot titanium nail vaporizes it, amazing! And it's one big strong hit.
I don't think it will be long before it's legal everywhere, all forms. Might take Texas awhile to get there.
You moved to town? What happened to your place in the woods?

There's no doubt about it @janton It is a very classy looking 'joint' (Pun intended) 😁 People would get high just being there if the diners were smoking cannibas in the restaurant wouldn't they?

It looks like an interesting joint to hang around in. Personally I don't like restaurants where people can smoke in the dining areas, but if there is a bar or louge area that is cool.
I do see these places getting very popular, too.

That would be a fun place to visit with a group of friends. My daughter was just telling me about the restaurant that they went to last night for a car club meet up that had a hooka bar. They only hookahs I knew of were the ones we smoked hash in back in the 60s! Since weed is not legal in Wisconsin yet, she had to explain to me what hooka bars were all about. I still don't get it, but her experience included oranges and pineapples!
And John Travolta always looks good!

haha! Howdy Melinda! So your daughter is into classic cars? I wonder if that's a new trend around the country, hooka bars? I don't know anything about them either but I guess they have lots of different flavors. But I think we'll see lots of these cannibas cafe's in the future.
Yes, John Travolta, he's our age! So I'm glad he didn't let himself go. lol.

The cafe is decorated beautifully with all the greenery. I’m not a stoner or smoker but I still would go in to check it out. Cannabis is legal in Canada.
Travolta’s hair waved goodbye.

Howdy today redheadpei! There is also a section of that restaurant for non-smokers so that's good in case you were with smokers but didn't want to get high. lol. Oh, it's all legal in Canada, I was wondering about that, thank you.
Yes, Travolta's hiar waved goodbye! lol.

It's not quite legal here, yet. The State said they'd quit prosecuting for possession if the amount is small (I forget the actual amount), and it's legal for medical purposes but only in liquid form. Seriously. I had been trying to get my doctor to diagnose me with something that needed it until she pointed out it's only a liquid. Though I suppose it might work a an ingredient in a brownie.

lol! Well I think it's only a matter of time before it will be legal everywhere in all forms don't you think? Might take Texas awhile to get it passed. But the oil has so many amazing benefits and then the other forms will follow I think.

Ha! I had a hit called "Durban Poison" many moons ago Sir @janton and it placed me on a very slow peaceful trip to the moon and back. This was before Neil Armstrong and I think a crowd of weed smokers can say that they were first on the moon hahaha.
Btw. I have an old Tsu buddy in West Hollywood that also smokes the happy tobacco and I think he will be over the moon at the news of the cannabis restaurant.

No Sir @janton, he sadly disappeared. A great guy and we had regular Skype chats, but since the folding of Tsu all came to an end.
He was very talented and produced great stuff on the Tsu site.
We ran one post in a partnership and took the record for the most votes on a post. I think it was 2000 votes, but I stand corrected as it could have been much more. Tsu was indeed a very lively site with thousands of like minded people.
Btw. I enjoyed playing around with the "moon" word a little bit.

Anyway, so they are opening a Cannabis restaurant! How's that make sense if smoking in the restaurant is illegal?

Yeah! Just what we need! Stinky restaurants! You know, Cannabis maybe a cure for many illness and may help lost of people who are in pain, but the smoke is as damaging to health as cigarettes. There for Cannabis should not be consumed that way and definitely not used as a recreational drug!
I read a lot about it and I had a consultation with a doctor is special Cannabis clinic. Unfortunately, after taking CBD oil for a while, I did not feel any improvement and the doctor told me that for me to feel results, I would need two bottles per month, which his almost $200.00. And that is with discount. That is a lot of money that I don't have and government does not covers it. So there you go! So much for Cannabis!!!

Howdy Miss Lena! I agree, it is not for you, at least not at this time. Yes, the smoking in the restaurant is amazing, that's one reason I did the post because you can't smoke cigarettes in any restaurants anymore and yet they can smoke weed!
That's amazing to me. I've read studies before that say smoking weed definitely kills brain cells and I need all those that I can get! Of course, that was years ago, I don't know what they say these days or if they've discovered something different.
