Legalizing Pot Lounges Could Make Washington’s Weed Industry More Equitable

Legalizing pot consumption lounges would do a lot for Washington state. It would guarantee that renters and homeless people have a legal place to smoke pot. It would help normalize cannabis, a drug far safer than alcohol, by giving fans of pot their equivalent of a bar. And it would give tourists a place to imbibe when they can’t in their hotels or other accommodations.

But in case you are still unconvinced, pot lounges could accomplish yet another laudable goal: legalizing pot lounges could make Washington’s pot industry more equitable.

Pot lounges could be one easy way to send some of legal weed’s profits to people of color.
