Patrons at the Lowell Garden café enjoying their time in a social cannabis setting.
Seligson Law has unveiled a new website designed to better support cannabis operators and investors in California and New York. This launch coincides with the historic opening of the Lowell Garden café in West Hollywood, allowing cannabis consumption in a social setting. As the café experiences strong patron interest, city officials expect more cannabis lounges to emerge, reflecting the increasing mainstream integration of cannabis culture.
Seligson Law has officially launched a newly redesigned website aimed at better serving cannabis operators, entrepreneurs, and investors located in California and New York. The revamped website provides streamlined access to a variety of legal services and resources across important practice areas, including business transactions, compliance, employment, real estate, and intellectual property (IP).
With deep roots in the cannabis industry, Seligson Law specializes in offering practical and strategic counsel, catering to clients throughout the entire supply chain. This redesign coincides with the recent opening of the nation’s first legal cannabis café, the Lowell Garden, located in West Hollywood.
The Lowell Garden café made headlines when it opened its doors, attracting significant attention with lines reported to be stretching out the door. Customers experienced waits exceeding one hour to gain entry to the café, which permits socializing and cannabis consumption in an outdoor setting.
The café features two distinct areas: one designated as a restaurant where smoking is prohibited, and a separate cannabis lounge where patrons are allowed to smoke, vape, and order from a selection of prepackaged edibles. The establishment operates under the regulations of Proposition 64, which permits indoor smoking in designated cannabis lounges in California. It is important to note that entry to the café is restricted to individuals aged 21 and over.
Local officials noted that the Lowell Garden café has attracted not just locals but also international visitors who are incorporating cannabis into their travel plans. Some patrons expressed that they were eager to introduce older relatives to cannabis for medicinal use.
Feedback from neighboring businesses has generally been positive, as most have welcomed the new café. However, one business did express concerns regarding potential smoke and odor issues emanating from the café. In response, the city has implemented a robust ventilation and filtration system to manage smells and odors effectively.
Local law enforcement reported that potential DUI situations involving cannabis will be treated similarly to traditional alcohol-related incidents. The city strongly encourages individuals who consume cannabis not to drive, advocating for alternative transportation options such as walking, ridesharing, and other safe methods of travel.
Looking ahead, city leaders anticipate the opening of three additional cannabis consumption lounges within the next six months, with projections indicating that as many as 12 more lounges could emerge within the next two years. The positive reception of the Lowell Garden café may pave the way for a greater acceptance of cannabis consumption venues in the local community as awareness and interest in cannabis continues to grow.
The launch of Seligson Law’s redesigned website and the historic opening of the Lowell Garden café mark significant milestones in the evolving landscape of cannabis legislation and consumption in West Hollywood and beyond, highlighting the increasing integration of cannabis into mainstream culture and business practices.
