Cannabis Lounge Model

๐Ÿ”ฅ Culture First mentioned: Ep. 255

The concept of licensed consumption spaces adjacent to retail cannabis stores where customers can consume purchases on-site, dramatically increasing education, community, and sales. Modeled on Amsterdam coffeeshops and Vancouver's early vapor lounges.

Bubbleman ran Melting Point vapor lounge in Vancouver (2003) on Commercial Drive with raw food vegan cafe plus vaporization station. Woody Harrelson and Biff Naked were regulars. Health Canada tested volcano vapor and never found health issues. Book Club in Vancouver proved model works commercially. Bubbleman argues lounges would increase sales dramatically through social exposure to premium products. Current lack of lounges forces consumption outdoors in poor conditions. Vancouver condo bylaws prohibit any smoking or vaping.
