Revision as of 04:11, 21 April 2024
In 2018, Nation's Restaurant News said, "A few chefs in the 10 states, and the District of Columbia ... have thrown pot-laced dinners. Those meals are generally held offsite, and the edible marijuana products are provided by staff from licensed dispensaries, and guests have to add it themselves".[1]
In 2023, High Times said, "there's a niche in the edibles industry that's continuing to grow: cannabis dining events. While there are still many limitations to cannabis infused dining, such as restrictive laws about public consumption or a lack of approved consumption lounges, many successful chef-led dining experiences are putting spotlight both on cannabis as an ingredient, as well as the consumer enjoying unique dishes infused with the herb."[2]
Nashville's first cannabis restaurant opened in 2022, offering "legal, hemp-derived THC-infused condiments, desserts and mocktails".[3] In 2023, Hi Flora! opened as Minnesota's first THC restaurant,[4] and CBD CBN began serving infused food and drinks in Edmonton.[5] Among cannabis-themed restaurants is The Joint, which opened in Sanford, Florida, in 2023.[6]
Impact on the restaurant industry
In 2018, The Denver Post said higher wages in the cannabis industry were "eating into restaurant hiring pool".[7] In Maine, restaurants were reportedly losing workers to the cannabis industry in 2019.[8]
April 20 ("420") promotions
Many notable restaurants have offered specials on April 20, a date with significance in cannabis culture ("420"), including the pizza chain &pizza, Cheba Hut, Fatburger,[9] the bakery Insomnia Cookies, Jack in the Box,[10] Jimmy John's, Mellow Mushroom, Popeyes,[11] Smashburger,[12] and Smoothie King.[10]
Legalization
In 2023, Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill to legalize Amsterdam-style cannabis cafes in California.[13]
