Marijuana Lounges: The Future of Cannabis Enjoyment

Forget the days of tie-dye hippies, pot brownies, and flaky stoners. The future of consuming legal cannabis has finally arrived as states – California, Colorado, Nevada and Oregon – have recently legalized, and decriminalized, marijuana. Marijuana aficionados now can venture into a new world where their grandparents can feel even at home on an airy, oasis terrace, offtering culinary pleasures like white-bean-and-avocado hummus, pickled vegetables, and scrumptious desserts with hits of marijuana in between bites.A marijuana lounge is not a dispensary, and it’s not a bar. Instead, it’s a unique experience and quickly becoming the hottest place to enjoy marijuana.In west Hollywood, Lowell Cafe, America’s first legal marijuana restaurant, is the ideal model of a 21 st century cannabis lounge. It’s owned by California’s Lowell Farms, well-known for their popular high-quality natural organic prerolls, buds, and oils. With its alluring magical Mediterranean garden vibe, Lowell Cafe features colorful mosaic tiles imported from Spain and Morocco, lush vines hanging from walls and wooden ceiling beams, and lavish indoor and outdoor spaces lighted by twinkling candles. Romantically contemporary, this marijuana lounge offers an airy and welcoming atmosphere to indulge in marijuana.Forget bartenders. "Budtenders" offer “table-side flower service” to guide guests through their cannabis experience. A novice who has never tried marijuana? The budtenders will explain products like Lowell Farm's famous pre-rolled products and a wide selection of strains along with their potency and effects. Already a cannabis pro? The elevated dab rigs provide a heightened experience. On any given night, the rooftop cafe hosts captivating events like expert-led chats and panels about cannabis and film, stand-up comedy, and live music. During Sunday brunch, a string quartet entertains with songs ranging from classical baroque to Radiohead. The lounge also holds special events for record releases and movie premiere after-parties.Chef Andrea Drummer, a Florida native, designed the lounge’s eclectic menu. Drummer, a famous Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef and cookbook author, has catered many private Hollywood events for stars. For Lowell Cafe, she has created a farm-to-table experience and plans to host dinners featuring cuisine from cultures like Cajun and creole. Every dish that Drummer prepares meshes perfectly with the elevated senses that comes with cannabis consumption. Don’t expect to have adult beverages, though. Only elegant mocktails (Momilani and Fountain of Youth), tea, coffee, smoothies and fresh juices are served as not to damper guests’ cannabis buzzes. Lowell Farm was founded in 1909 by William "Bull" Lowell, but closed in 1913 when California made marijuana illegal. It reopened and has become wildly popular with celebrities and unique products such as a “weed bouquet” for Valentine’s Day and a “smokable cannabis flower crown” for Coachella. The café is the company’s latest business venture and will feature Lowell Farm’s various products.

The farm, near the California coast, uses small family growers for many of their crops. All uses organic fertilizers and never synthetic pesticides. Dedicated to the environment, Lowell Farm chooses sustainable products from seeds to recycled vintage-style packaging. The company's pro-environment philosophy is also a priority at the Hollywood marijuana lounge with sustainable fixtures made by local artisans.Marijuana lounges attract an enthralling array of guests from celebrities to PTA moms, creatives, and even retirees.

Frequently Asked Questions About a Weed Lounge

Lowell Cafe is the first cannabis restaurant that has been approved to legally open up within the United States. It will feature food created by famous chef Andrea Drummer. The restaurant, located in West Hollywood, California, will also feature a weed lounge, where you can purchase and smoke, vape or ingest Lowell Farms high quality, natural and organic marijuana products.

Here are a few of the questions you may have about our weed lounge. What Sets a Weed Lounge Apart From a Weed Bar? Many dispensaries throughout the United States offer what is known as a weed bar. When people think of a weed bar, they often think of a bar that serves alcohol. However, a weed bar is quite different. At a weed bar, a budtender tends to you and helps you to select the weed products that best meet your needs. You can then take the products home and smoke them, eat them or inhale them from the comfort of your home. A weed lounge is very different. At a weed lounge, you can both purchase and use cannabis. Think of a weed lounge like a hookah lounge more so than a bar. How Old Do You Need to Be to Visit a Weed Lounge? In the United States, you must be 21 or older to visit a weed lounge or a weed cafe. People under the age of 21 are not allowed, even if they are with parents or will not be partaking in cannabis. What Type of Food and Music Can I Expect at a Weed Lounge?It is important to note that Lowell Cafe is a first of its kind weed lounge in the United States. Currently, you can expect quite an eclectic array of music within the lounge. Everything from classical music to alternative to heavy metal rock may be played. The musical acts that are booked to play may change based on demand, customer feedback and requests. Lowell Cafe is not only committed to providing you with high quality cannabis, but it is also committed to serving you quality food. As you partake in cannabis, your sense of smell and taste are heightened. Our chef has created a fresh menu that gives those consuming cannabis foods that they may enjoy or crave while they are high. You can expect everything from fresh and healthy foods to indulgent sweets.

Lowell Cafe: America's Original Cannabis Lounge

Imagine sitting at a rooftop lounge after work, watching the sun sink into the horizon, surrounded by your best friends, laughing and having a good time while passing around a perfectly rolled joint. Your waitress appears with a sampler board of sweets that include peanut butter cookies, sweet potato beignets, and s’mores, to satisfy your munchies, and asks if you’d like another another round of flower for the table.This sounds like an amazing dream to cannabis lovers everywhere. But in California, that dream is a reality. Lowell Cafe is America’s first cannabis lounge located in West Hollywood, California. With it’s rooftop lounge, surrounded by beautiful green plants and imported Mediterranean tiled floors, it’s a far cry from a sketchy, dark den you might expect. In fact, Lowell Cafe feels more like a 5-star restaurant, and they provide a farm-to-table experience with both the flower and food they provide.What is a Cannabis Lounge?As state legislature continues to legalize and decriminalize marijuanna, the cannabis industry has grown tremendously. Currently, in states that allow recreational use, folks can go to a dispensary to purchase their cannabis and partake in their homes. That leaves visitors and tourists to these areas out of luck, since most hotels don’t permit it and public consumption isn’t legal.But, like bars and pubs, where alcohol is served to be consumed socially and responsibly, the need for cannabis lounges for the same reasons has grown. And Lowell Cafe was awarded the first consumption license by the state of California, and is now the first in the nation.What to ExpectLowell Cafe’s flower menu will be stocked with product from Lowell Farms. Their high-quality, natural marijuana is organically grown without pesticides, is one of the most popular brands in California, available in over 350 stores.

infused foods since 2012 and is one of the top Cannabis chefs in L.A. Whether you crave sweet or savory after smoking, Drummer’s menu is designed to compliment the heightened senses after cannabis consumption. Though, you won’t find infused foods on this menu. If you are interested in edibles, you won’t find them on this menu due to health code regulations. But there are a variety of pre-packaged foods available from the dispensary area that have been lab tested and approved.Lowell Cafe is the first to grab a consumption license and open its doors to the public. But, there are over 300 additional applications for one of those licenses in California. There is no doubt that as the recreational cannabis business continues to grow, more and more cannabis cafes will start popping up. But as the first, Lowell Cafe is setting a standard for American cannabis lounges. And with its elevated, high-end, trendy approach, it’s a very high bar to reach.

Is the United States Ready for Marijuana Cafes? Some Groups Certainly Think So

As of 2019, marijuana is legal for recreational use in over 20% of the country and legal for medicinal use in almost 70% of the country. These places have created a rich opportunity for marijuana lovers, connoisseurs, businesses, and investors.One thing noticeably missing in many of these areas are the marijuana cafes which are ubiquitous in other parts of the world where marijuana is legal. However, that’s about to change. But, is the United States ready for marijuana cafes? What Is a Marijuana Cafe?You may have heard of marijuana cafés, mainly in Europe. Sometimes they’re called coffeshops, cannabis cafes, marijuana lounges, or marijuana clubs. All these names describe a place where someone can consume cannabis.These establishments allow for someone to socialize, relax, and generally enjoy the comforts of a typical café. In addition, people can do these things with the added benefit of marijuana consumption in some capacity. What Does a Marijuana Cafe Look Like?As with any type of café, a marijuana cafe can range widely in appearance, atmosphere, and available services. Where one café can have a close, warm, and intimate setting, another might offer large open spaces and room to move around more freely.

Page 10: almostveganchef.com€¦  · Web viewMarijuana Lounges: The Future of Cannabis Enjoyment. Forget the days of tie-dye hippies, pot brownies, and flaky stoners. The future of consuming

One example of what a marijuana cafe can look like in the United States comes from the Lowell Herb Co. One of the first marijuana cafes in the country is The Lowell Café from Lowell Farms. This establishment does a good job of showing what a marijuana café can look and feel like in the United States.It helps that the Lowell Herb Co. has a very good reputation as a grower of high-quality cannabis and a vendor of high-quality cannabis products. Years in the market gave the group a good insight into what their clientele would want and expect from a marijuana cafe.They took their expertise and knowledge to build a restaurant-style facility with a welcoming atmosphere. The Café works for all people whether they partake in cannabis products, are just curious about them, or just want a nice experience without cannabis involved.While not all marijuana cafes will have the grander aspects of this one, the Lowell Café gives some insight into what will make marijuana cafes different from those abroad. What Can Marijuana Cafes in the US Do Differently?The United States isn’t the same as the Netherlands or other places that have marijuana cafes. Each state that allows for recreational use or public consumption will have different rules and regulations regarding how the consumption can take place.What works for one café in California can become the model for another in Colorado. What doesn’t work in one place can inform how a rollout in another place can do things differently. This will all serve to create better cafes in a way that’s unique to the US.In addition, places like the Lowell Café shows that a marijuana cafe can represent a high-end experience that isn’t the norm overseas. For example, the Lowell Café features dishes created by renowned cannabis Chef Andrea Drummer.Marijuana cafes in the US will also bring cannabis to the masses. Many people are new to cannabis and cannabis products. These cafes can help guide them, educate them, and help them figure out what kind of consumption is the right type for their needs.Not everyone has a lot of experience with cannabis, so the US cafes can do a lot to facilitate giving people a pleasurable first time or early experience with cannabis. All these things will help set US marijuana cafes apart, and places like the Lowell Café and others to come show that the United States is ready for marijuana cafes.

Lowell Farms Cannabis Café : Smoke In Luxury

Although using marijuana recreationally is legal in several states, where to indulge publicly continues to be a work in progress. With lounges and weed cafe concepts being at the forefront of the U.S. cultural revolution with Washington and Colorado being the first two states to legalize marijuana, others are following by decriminalizing it. Picture this: you are in a posh bar with relaxed crowd energy. Instead of tossing back the shots, you share a vape pen with a friend or share cannabis baked good from a local bakery. It’s trivia night in one corner and you ask a “budtender” about new products at the counter or request table service with rolling papers and other components from your reserved booth. While this may be further down the road, the idea of a weed cafe is not.U.S. Weed Cafe Locations Given the newness of the legalization of marijuana in a handful of states, numerous weed cafe locations are beginning to open their doors in the United States with Lowell Café recently opening in West

Hollywood. Lowell Café is one of the first legal weed cafes in the United States thus bringing the activity into a more concentration and public setting. In addition to the weed cafe, the parent company, Lowell Farms, offers CBD products on their website and grows high-quality, organic cannabis. At the time of this article, there are a few weed cafe locations in San Francisco and Oakland respectively, one in Worcester, Massachusetts, one in Denver, and another option opening in West Hollywood soon.What to OrderThink of a weed cafe like a local pub except instead of going to grab a drink with friends, you would be going to grab a smoke. At a weed cafe, you would be able to order different types of marijuana that offer different effects, and you could smoke, vape or eat cannabis in various food formats. Marijuana servers must be trained properly, like bartenders, with training focusing on identifying customers who are too intoxicated to continue to be served. In addition to marijuana products and food, guests can order various non-alcoholic weed cocktails since most states prohibit selling marijuana and alcohol.What to EatAt Lowell Café in West Hollywood, guests can enjoy a variety of cannabis-free dishes from chef Andrea Drummer. The idea is that the food menu is meant to complement cannabis consumption. The menu is diverse and includes items like grilled peaches and burrata, crispy Brussels sprouts, fried chicken sandwich, and white bean hummus. Drummer also developed an extensive dessert menu with caramel popcorn and Thai chili almonds, candied bacon, sweet potato beignets, peanut butter cookies, homemade s’mores, an ice cream sandwich, and crème brulee. The purpose of these dishes is to connect the dots between food and cannabis in a manner that matches wine pairing to enhance the overall experience.Weed Cafe SetupA weed cafe varies based on the theme of their establishment but all locations must have some type of smoke filtration system. For instance, Lowell Café reviewed countless air filtration systems before selecting a system that rivals those used in luxury Las Vegas hotels, hospitals, or chemical labs. Lowell Café also has a back outdoor seating area so-as to not disturb neighbors and a street-facing front patio that is smoke-free. The back-patio area also contains numerous plants that absorb odors to further be respectful to the surrounding community.As cannabis becomes more socially accepted, society will learn that consumers wish to use marijuana in the same manner that they casually go out for a drink. A weed cafe will fulfill that exact need and soon be as prevalent as a neighborhood pub.

Cannabis Oil

Cannabis oil is rapidly increasing in popularity, and for good reason.  There are many health benefits associated with its use such as easing pain, calming anxiety, reducing inflammation, and aiding in the relief of many other ailments.  All of these benefits come without getting the user high, since there is no THC in cannabis oil.  It is also non-addictive.  This all natural substance has been shown to have very few side effects and works in harmony with the body.  There are several ways to extract CBD oil from cannabis.  Extracting the oil by using CO2 as a solvent is one of the cleanest ways.  After the oil is extracted, it undergoes a process called Winterization.  This process takes out the unwanted materials from the oil such as lipids, fats, and waxes.  The extracted oil is stirred into 200 proof alcohol until it is entirely mixed and then put in a deep freeze overnight.  In the morning it is ready to be filtered.  This can be done through a filter paper or by using a piece of equipment called a Buchner Funnel.  After this is finished and the cannabis oil is free of unwanted elements, the alcohol is removed.  This is done by warming the extraction.  Since alcohol boils at a lower temperature than oil, it will evaporate and can be used for another batch. Lowell Farms produces organic and pesticide free cannabis oil.  The workers are paid fairly and the company aims to produce high quality products that pay homage to those who respect the cannabis plant.  Lowell Farms CBD products include smokes and flowers and are all natural.  Products that do contain THC, including cold pressed cannabis oil, cylinder smokes, and farm fresh flower are available through Lowell Farms as well.  Shop on their website, have it delivered, and also watch for Lowell Farms products at 350 stores.  Experience Lowell Farms products at the new, and first ever, legal cannabis restaurant in the country.  Located in West Hollywood, Lowell Cafe is sure to set a standard for this up and coming industry.  Chef Andrea Drummer is excited to create dishes that will boost and complement your cannabis experience.

Even though Chef Andrea Drummer has plenty of experience creating cannabis infused food and drinks, cannabis infused dishes cannot be offered on the menu because of current legislation.  However, there will be an opportunity to buy some pre-packaged cannabis infused products. Just as Lowell Farms produces all natural and organic cannabis products, the menu will feature dishes inspired by the season and that utilize ingredients from local farmers markets.  The menu will pair perfectly with your cannabis experience.  While enjoying the food, a Lowell Farms Flower Host will have information about available cannabis and even roll a smoke for you.  Specialized bongs and dabs will be available as well.  The cannabis menu will change daily based on what is currently being harvested.  Make a reservation with friends and also keep an eye on the calendar to watch for live entertainment, brunch, and other fun things to check out.  Always be sure to enjoy cannabis responsibly.  Arrange for a friend to pick you up or utilize Uber, Lyft, or public transportation.

Concentrated cannabis oil is a popular product in dispensaries across California. Some producers are embracing the concept of combining high-grade cannabis with virgin cannabis oil. That gives a far superior and much better tasting product, as well as more bang for your buck.When fusing cannabis extract with extra virgin flower oil, you get a much better product. You also get a lot better taste. The secret is the extraction method, which does away with chemicals. Instead, it uses CO2 gas to extract the cannabis compound. That gets infused with the extra virgin oil, which creates a pure-tasting inhale when vaping. You can use the oil with conventional flower, but the vaping experience does a much better job of preventing lung damage via smoke inhalation. Here is a closer look at how it works. Closed-Loop CO2 ExtractionThe extraction process used to produce the best quality cannabis oil relies on CO2 extraction. Instead of using heavily processed, lower grade cannabis, high-grade flower with true potency and outstanding flavor gets used. You get maximized terpenes, combined with outstanding flavor. Producers that use low-quality cannabis to maximize profits wind up heavily processing the final cannabis oil product. That means you get a lot of nasty chemical flavor that can make it taste like you are inhaling propane or some similar gas. Closed-loop CO2 extraction, though, uses only a very low amount of gas to extract the oil with the purest flavor. When combined with extra virgin oil, you get a honey-like product that tastes, smokes and vapes like no other. Purest Ingredients for Best OilWhen using extra virgin oil and the high-grade cannabis, the extraction process becomes much simpler. That means no use of chemicals to extract all the THC – so no chemical taste when smoking or vaping. The extra virgin oil, likewise, requires less processing than the cheaper counterparts many producers use.

Ultimately, the difference is whether or not the producer is trying to maximize profits – or trying to produce the best possible experience when smoking or vaping. The purest ingredients equal the best vaping or smoking experience – and less damage to your lungs. Heavily processed cannabis oil can damage lungs and leave residual traces of the chemicals used to process it. Lowell Farms cannabis is from organic and sustainably grown cannabis.

Cannabis Smokes can be a Nice Solo Experience

 There’s not much that’s better than a good smoke – this is pretty much a scientific fact. But for a long time, you had to specify what kind of smoke you were talking about, based on whatever audience you happened to be talking to.Sure, nicotine smokers will agree that it’s certainly nice and relaxing to sit and enjoy a cigarette or two with friends. Cigar and tobacco pipe smokers will concur that there’s a great feeling involved in savoring the smoking experience especially as you watch the fragrant smoke billow and swirl as you exhale.But until recently, you had to be careful if you included your love of cannabis smokes in this sort of conversation. Even though puffing on a joint is pretty much the ultimate form of relaxation, you never knew if your statement would offend anti-pot people in your company or attract the attention of local authorities.These days, due to the newly-approved legalization of cannabis in California, it’s much easier for adults to have any kind of smokes they choose. Cannabis smokes can be a nice solo experience or you can get together and everyone can smoke their own or perhaps pass around a shared joint.The legalization of cannabis has also increased the availability of quality products. Instead of trying to roll your own cannabis smokes, which sometimes can get messy or have inaccurate amounts, companies like Lowell Herb Co. are happy to offer consumers pre-rolled joints.These pre-rolls are nice to look at, easy to store and easy to bring out when friends or family drop by. Each one offers a measured dosage of a specific type of strain, so you never have to worry about either nothing happening or being overwhelmed by something extra potent like when you smoked mystery weed in the past.Fans of good smokes can choose from sativa, indica and hybrid varieties of Lowell’s farm-fresh sun-grown flower. All of our flower is lab-tested and certified synthetic pesticide-free, so you never have to worry about smoking any extra harmful ingredients.We also always use organic fertilizers and all-natural materials from seed to sale, providing a superior experience for every smoker every time.Though improved legal access and availability to cannabis means more people are learning about different methods of partaking, from edibles to tinctures to topical lotions, there’s still no substitute for a good smoke.

Smoking is a great and dependable way to inhale your cannabis and feel it working through your body providing a nice body and mind high depending on what you’re smoking. Longtime users always enjoy every smoking experience and often recall past smoke sessions with their friends, while newer users also look forward to forming new memories with friends.Lowell pre-rolls and products can be found at more than 350 cannabis retailers state-wide. Or, if your travels happen to take you to West Hollywood, be sure to drop by the Lowell Café.This business venture is the country’s first legal cannabis café, where you can enjoy farm-fresh food created by famous chef Andrea Drummer, plus tasty coffee, juice and quality cannabis. It’s a place to enjoy a good smokes and good company with friends and fellow smoke enthusiasts.  The unique location also is a good place to learn about and try other strains to see what you enjoy the most.

Bull was growing Indian Hemp along the Cali central coast in 1909. Back then, the consumption of marijuana was not an acceptable social practice among certain circles. In one circle ran Henry J. Finger, a conspirator and hater who went on to pass the 1913 Poison Act.That act only vaguely tacked on cannabis as both a “legislative blunder” and snuck in as a subsection to Section 8. However, it later led to the beloved Bull being tossed in the slammer for growing the Indian Hemp. The community of cannabis continues to respect and honor Bull Lowell’s legacy by serving only the finest cannabis products at both Lowell Farms and the Lowell Farms: A Cannabis Cafe. Join us soon or make a reservation for a visit to the first and only cannabis cafe in the US.

An Overview of Lowell Farms and Lowell Cafe

There has been a significant push over the past few years to legalize CBD and marijuana across the country. One of the states leading the way has been California, with Lowell Farms at the head of the pack. During the past couple of years, Lowell Farms has become an industry leader for not only CBD and marijuana but also green culture, sustainability, and progressive employment and workplace practices. Because of this, the reputation of Lowell has spread throughout the region. Lowell has embraced its role as a leader in the industry and is once again trying to push the envelope with both its products and Lowell Cafe.A History of Lowell FarmsLowell Farms can trace its roots all the way back to 1909. In the spring of 1909, William Lowell started to grow hemp on his farm. It was located along California's central coast. Unfortunately, some people did not like marijuana being smoked by some of the citizens of the great state of California. Therefore, the Poison Act was passed in 1913. That didn't stop Mr. Lowell, who believed in man's right to enjoy the benefits of marijuana and CBD. This eventually ended up with Mr. Lowell going to jail and his farm being shut down. His perseverance and example continue to shine today in Lowell Farms, which has persevered and seen marijuana once again made legal in the state of California so that everyone can enjoy its benefits.About the Cannabis Grown on Lowell Farms

Two Things To Consider Regarding Modern Cannabis

This is not your grandmother's weed. Despite some lingering hippie associations, many things have changed since the 1960s. Today's cannabis is growing into a large scale legitimate industry. As with any commercial field, different firms take unique approaches. Some organizations focus on natural cannabis while others focus on making cheaper products.

 The industry has experienced substantial growth. There are now more cannabis strains and commercial products than our grandparents could have imagined. However, there are some things industry watchers may have missed about recent advances.

 Here are two things to consider regarding modern cannabis. Legal Cafes Are ComingWith several states legalizing marijuana, it was only a matter of time before cafes. Most recently there has been a great deal of buzz around the opening of Lowell Farms' Cannabis Cafe in Southern California. Launching on September 24th in West Hollywood, it is the first legal cannabis cafe and restaurant in the US.

There is a growing list of hybrid blends with different aromas and potencies. If you prefer the easy way, you can find many kinds of pre-rolled blends.

Sustainable Cannabis: Why It Matters, And Where To Indulge

Sustainable Cannabis: Why It Matters, And Where To IndulgeLegal marijuana is now commonplace in the United States. While some areas are only offering medical use, others are open to recreational pot. It's an exciting time for both people who have always been curious about weed, as well as people who have been smoking for years. Farmers, dispensaries, and pot enthusiasts are all benefitting from recent changes in marijuana laws. Many people in these categories are also concerned about what the sudden uptick in marijuana farming means for the environment. In the past few centuries, people worldwide have watched overfarming wreak havoc on their land. Can the United States avoid devastating effects? In a word: maybe. It's key for the marijuana community to get on board with sustainable cannabis farming.What Is Sustainable Cannabis?The goal of sustainability is to farm in a way that doesn't compromise the land for future generations. Sustainable farming of any crop allows the Earth to keep up with the demands required for successful crop production. When farmers work towards sustainable agriculture, they're mindful of how they're using natural resources. These resources can include soil, water, fertilizer, and other necessities for a successful crop.In the past, cannabis farming has been hush-hush, due to weed's legal status. Farmers traded tips and tricks, but peer reviewed studies were rare. Sustainable farming practices are evolving for marijuana farmers. They're learn and discover new trends and ideas in the industry. There are some standards that are already followed by many sustainable cannabis farmers:- Observe and understand the natural environment. To protect the growing environment, one must first understand the environment. Before planting, sustainable farmers take a long look at their crop fields. Observing the environment allows them to understand the resources they need to protect.- No pesticides. Pests are usually a sign of a problem in the growing environment. Pesticides are a band aid to the problem. Sustainable farmers work to find the root cause of the problem. This benefits both the environment and the success of their crops.- No chemical fertilizers. Like pesticides, the need for chemical fertilizers is indicative of a greater problem. Sustainable cannabis farmers work to find the root issue with their plants' growth. This allows the grow fields to remain chemical free.

Los Angeles Cannabis and the Lowell Cafe Restaurant

There has been a large movement across the country to legalize CBD and marijuana. California has led the way, legalizing the popular plant for recreational use. Unfortunately, California and the Los Angeles area have had a problem with illegal cannabis use in the past. The current regulations in California do not allow for cannabis consumption in locations where food and beverages are sold on the premises. Many businesses have gotten in trouble for violating these rules which have been put in place to prevent the sale of food and drinks that might be infused with CBD. While this might be veiled as an attempt to ensure that everyone stays safe, it does take away income from businesses that might seek to expand the CBD industry.Innovation from Lowell Farms and Lowell CaféLowell Farms is one of the industry leaders in terms of CBD and marijuana.

There has been a lot of buzz around the restaurant that Lowell Farms is going to open later this month, called Lowell Café. Of course, as mentioned above, the current regulations in the state of California do not allow for the sale of food and beverages in locations where CBD and marijuana products are sold. Lowell Farms had to be creative to come up with a way to open the doors of their restaurant.Lowell Café Pushing the EnvelopeThe goal of Lowell Café has to sell prepared food and beverages in locations where people were enjoying CBD products. In order to make this dream a reality, Lowell Farms had to set up their business a bit creatively. Lowell Farms was split into two separate businesses to remain in compliance with the laws in the state of California. One half of the business is a retail establishment, Lowell Farms. The other half of the business is a restaurant called Lowell Café. While customers might be a bit confused by the split, rest
