A Cannabis cafe named Lowell cafe is set to open in West Hollywood on September 1st. Creative visitors would be able to take a sip while they act on screenplays, and then they can enjoy the visit of a cannabis sommelier. There will be a seat in a fenced area surrounded by lush greenery, a waiter will take orders, said Sean Black, Cofounder of Lowell Herb Company. He is a partner in the company.

Black and his partner had set a vision to open such a cafe. They have made a lot of efforts to bring license for the cafe. On July 16, the West Hollywood Business License Commission unanimously approved a cannabis consumption license for Lowell Cafe. It is the first cannabis cafe in the nation. Black said that obtaining the permit is the last step to open cafe on 1st September.

The commission has also approved a cannabis consumption license to Pleasure Med., which is owned by West Hollywood retailer Pleasure Chest. Black called this move an end of prohibition and said that it is groundbreaking and exciting.

Cannabis always remains controversial due to the involvement of cannabinoids substance such as CBD and THC. You can read about cannabinoids substances on this article. Being the first cannabis cafe, there is a pressure on Black and his partner, as West Hollywood will monitor the cafe for a year until its one-year cannabis consumption license expires.

Lowell Herb Company is located in California, and it is one of the the largest high-end cannabis businesses. It will sell the company’s product during day time and meal with nonalcoholic cocktails.
