Marijuana consumption lounges coming to Grover Beach

May 25, 2022

By KAREN VELIE

The Grover Beach City Council voted on May 23 to adopt an ordinance to allow and regulate marijuana consumption at indoor lounges and some special events.

“Grover Beach has four cannabis retailers that have demonstrated their commitment to following the city’s regulations as they generate economic activity,” said Grover Beach Mayor Jeff Lee. “We are confident that our cannabis retailers will maintain these standards if they pursue onsite consumption for their customers in a safe and responsible way.”

The city is anticipating the cannabis lounges will increase Grover Beach’s tax revenues which will help fund capital projects and citywide services. The city is restricting pot lounge permits to city cannabis retail businesses.

“The City Council took great care in making this decision as the city continues to lead the way in creating a safe, thriving local commercial cannabis industry,” Said City Manager Matthew Bronson. “Enabling our businesses to provide safe consumption spaces for both local residents and visitors expands economic opportunities in Grover Beach and strengthens our revenue sources to better serve our community.”

Wine bars anyone, or a bar? Restaurant that serves alcohol. Uber anyone? First world here, the sky isn’t falling. This isn’t opium, or Xanax, or hydrocodone. Or McDonald’s.

You’re right. But it’s just another form of lunacy and a destructive way for more people than it benefits. I guess some are okay with adding to the downward spiral of society. Enjoy you trip for now. The vultures are coming to roost.

Kind of hard to have a designated driver with a room full of pot smoke… Does the DD wait outside?…

No. That’s why there’s has been a rapid increase while DUI of pot in this state. Add that to the alcohol DUI’s and the increase of accidents and deaths. Another level of Insanity.

What else do they have to offer? Nothing. What are they known for? I can’t think of a thing. Time to change main street to “High St.”, with the crossed streets, “Debased Mind Ave”, and “Going No Where Dr. Nothing like stirring the “pot”.

More like an opium den, according to one Grover Beach resident.

Actually, opposite is true if you read journals or have any academic awareness. Seizures, myelin sheath, protein. Maybe look it up. It’s no different than coffee.
