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.

Californians will be able to eat, drink and spark up at Amsterdam-style cannabis cafes under a new bill signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom this week. Beginning on Jan. 1, cities in the Golden State can allow marijuana dispensaries to serve fresh hot food and non-alcoholic beverages to their clientele and even host live concerts and comedy shows.

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.

California, which legalized recreational cannabis in 2016, has seen its legal dispensaries struggle to compete with the black market.

The new law should help licensed retailers compete with the black market while mitigating the "smell of marijuana" that offends Donald Trump and J.D. Vance.

Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a bill into law that will allow certain restaurants to allow its patrons to openly smoke cannabis
