In Las Vegas, a newish kind of business is becoming really popular – cannabis lounges. Cannabis is a plant that some adults use for medical reasons or just to relax, much like some people drink coffee or tea. Look, you and I already know what it is and what it’s for but we’re trying to write this professionally due to the somewhat sensitive nature of these kind of topics. Where was I? Lounges, yes. In these lounges, people can legally buy and use cannabis in a safe and controlled environment.

Imagine a cafe or a small cozy restaurant, but instead of serving just coffee or snacks, they also offer various cannabis products. Now if you have a case of the munchies, some cater to that as well. Dazed offers a Mexican American restaurant. Where was I? Right, cannabis lounges are designed to be comfortable places where adults can hang out, much like a coffee shop where you might go to enjoy a latte and read a book. Though, who’s reading a book here?

Las Vegas, known for its bright lights and entertainment, is now one of the places leading this new trend. The city is always looking for new ways to attract visitors, and cannabis lounges have become a new attraction. People are curious about them because it’s a new experience, different from the usual activities in Vegas. Especially since prior to these lounges, visitors could legally purchase cannabis in Las Vegas but didn’t have a place to legally use it, as cannabis was banned anywhere outside a residential home. These lounges however, offer the only other legal consumption option.

These lounges are not just about using cannabis. They’re also about learning and understanding it. The staff in these lounges are knowledgeable and can educate customers about the different types of cannabis, how they work, and how to use them responsibly. Strains of cannabis refer to the different varieties or types, each with unique effects, flavors, and aromas. Think of them like apple varieties, but for cannabis. For example, ‘Sativa’ strains like ‘Sour Diesel’ energize and uplift, while ‘Indica’ strains like ‘Blueberry Kush’ relax and calm. ‘Hybrids’ blend both effects.

Cannabis education is important because it helps people make informed choices. Speaking of informed choices, the colors are getting very vibrant in here suddenly. I should inform you this article may or may not have been written during legal conception. Nope, CONSUMPTION. I just had a battle with spellcheck. I’m fine. Ok, let’s get tracks on back.

Just like any other business, these lounges have to follow strict rules. What are some of those rules? I’m glad you asked, I mean you didn’t, but I knew you were curious. I feel like we’re totally vibing right now, man.

• Only adults 21 and older will be allowed to enter lounges.
• Consumption sites must be at least 1,000 feet from schools and casinos. Similarly, they must also be at least 300 feet from other protected institutions, such as churches.
• All marijuana consumption lounges must meet strict requirements for odor control, fire safety, air quality, sanitation, and security.
• Additionally, marijuana consumption taking place inside the lounges cannot be visible to the public.

Cannabis lounges in Las Vegas are a new addition to the city’s entertainment scene. They offer a place where adults can explore cannabis in a safe and regulated environment. As this industry grows, it might become as common as going to a movie or a coffee shop, but for now, it’s an exciting new development in Las Vegas.
