Get Hungry for Summer’s Dankest Cannabis Dining Events

Even in the marijuana Nirvana that is adult-use California, any bars and restaurants that openly allow cannabis consumption can put their liquor licenses in jeopardy, while anyone who publicly advertises a weed dinner risks fines (or worse) for throwing an unlicensed cannabis consumption event.

Still the final frontier of cannabis legalization, a weed-friendly restaurant experience has yet to be fully realized, even though the day is fast approaching when you’ll be able to toke and eat in the same establishment — at least in West Hollywood!

But in the meantime, where can you smoke California’s finest cannabis while dining on seasonal, farm-fresh cuisine? The answer is a little complicated, but nonetheless exciting: Cannabis social clubs, where it’s very legal and very cool for adults to share weed while at a private venue.

In order to gather with likeminded euphoric epicureans at underground supper clubs, you’ll need to sign up for membership to receive invitations to private parties. Get introduced to the local cannabis scene and meet new friends while indulging your munchies and discover how much fun high dining can be! Follow these groundbreaking pioneers of high hospitality and get yourself a reservation to one of these upcoming events.

Cannaisseur Series Fourth Anniversary
