Since the green rush began, cannabis tourism has been in a particularly hazy territory. Forty states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana since the mid-90s, either for medical or recreational use, but the plant remains illegal at the federal level. According to the U.S. National Survey on Drug Use and Health, in 2022, more people reported using cannabis daily or nearly daily than alcohol drinkers in previous years.

When the calendar flipped to 2025, new rules came into place for some cannabis cafe owners in the state. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed off on bill AB1775, which allows cannabis cafes to sell food that doesn’t come pre-packaged and non-alcoholic drinks. Jay Handal owns The Woods WeHo, a dispensary that is now able to give customers the option to buy pastries and fresh coffee.
