A bright liquor store sign can be seen from most major streets in the U.S. But many cannabis businesses, including medical, are strictly relegated to industrially zoned areas & are prohibited from visibly displaying the sale of cannabis, even medical, ANYWHERE. #PolicyMatters
Cannabis consumption lounges in the U.S. are not only incredibly clean & visually stunning, but they provide a safe space for patients & consumers, support the overall industry & facilitate much needed destigmatization. #PolicyMatterssquarerootgroup.com/blog/consumpti…
