Woody Harrelson Pushes Gov. Newsom To Approve Cannabis Cafes In California
Actor and cannabis advocate Woody Harrelson is urging California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) to sign a bill which would allow licensed cannabis cafes to sell non-cannabis snacks, non-alcoholic beverages and host live performances. Known for his support of marijuana legalization, Harrelson has now focused his efforts on Assembly Bill 1775.
Bill Could Boost Struggling Cannabis Lounges
“We just need a tiny little crumb and that is the ability to sell non-cannabis items in the lounge,” Harrelson said in a video posted by the bill’s author, Assembly member Matt Haney (D).
Harrelson, an Emmy-winning actor and co-owner of a cannabis dispensary and lounge in West Hollywood, emphasized the minimal impact of the bill. He pleaded for its passage, saying, “I don’t see how that hurts anybody. Let’s please make this happen.”
