National City is likely to make history as the city with California's first-ever cannabis café after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill allowing businesses across the state to offer a smoke-and-eat, "Amsterdam-style" experience.

Your cannabis purchase may soon come with a side of fresh food and live music, after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation Tuesday legalizing Amsterdam-style cannabis cafes.  Under the new law, local jurisdictions can permit licensed cannabis retailers to prepare and serve food and drinks and host live performances on-site.

From the start of next year, cannabis retailers in California will be allowed to sell fresh food and non-alcoholic drinks – and even put on a party whilst doing so – after Governor Gavin Newsom signed a “cannabis café” bill into law on September 30.
