Why does the city differ from Los Angeles?

In May 2018 West Hollywood opened applications for 16 on-site consumption licences across two categories and drew more than 300 proposals, scored on innovation and social equity. The Original Cannabis Cafe, first called Lowell Farms, opened on La Brea Avenue on 1 October 2019. It serves food, not alcohol or infused dishes, and admits only guests 21 and over. Calma WeHo's 1155 North La Brea address is a few dozen house numbers from the cafe's. Los Angeles, next door, prohibits lounges. A ninth WeHo shop, The Artist Tree, sits under a separate page. The state overview covers the rest. The city also published a list of its top-scoring applicants for these licences.

Cannabis in W Hollywood: questions

Can I use cannabis in a West Hollywood store?

Some licensed businesses may allow it. The city licensed 16 on-site consumption operators in two categories, and the Original Cannabis Cafe was the first to open, in October 2019.

Why is The Artist Tree on another page?

The register files it under a second West Hollywood entry, with one listing. It is the same city, and its address is 8625 Santa Monica Boulevard.
