A California bill that would have allowed licensed cannabis retailers to sell food and drinks and host live events, in an effort to boost the legal cannabis market, was vetoed by Gov. Gavin Newsom Oct. 8.
“I appreciate the author’s intent to provide cannabis retailers with increased business opportunities and an avenue to attract new customers. However, I am concerned this bill could undermine California’s long-standing smoke-free workplace protections,” Mr. Newsom said in a statement.
