Newsom vetoes cannabis cafe bill

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 22:25:10 GMT

Bad news for Californians hoping to enjoy a joint with their coffee: a bill that would have allowed cannabis cafés has been vetoed by Gov. Gavin Newsom.Assembly Bill 374 was written to allow Amsterdam-style lounges where cannabis products could be sold alongside food and drinks.While some similar businesses currently exist, they do so through a legal loophole, usually by having a technically separate business "deliver" food and drink products to consumption lounge customers.In a message announcing his veto, Newsom said he "appreciate[s] the author's intent to provide cannabis retailers with increased business opportunities and an avenue to attract new customers.""However, I am concerned this bill could undermine California's long-standing smoke-freeworkplace protections," he wrote. "Protecting the health and safety of workers is paramount. I encourage the author to address this concern in subsequent legislation."In response, Assemblymember Matt Haney (D-San Francisco) posted to X, f...
