Yesterday, the first U.S. restaurant that allows diners to smoke (or eat) marijuana opened in West Hollywood, CA. 

Think of Lowell Cafe as a wine bar, just sub the wine for pot and the corkscrew for a lighter. As part of her chiefing, er...chefing responsibilities, Andrea Drummer has fashioned a seasonal food menu that complements various strains of cannabis, because the law prohibits the cafe from infusing cannabis into its own food. You can order edibles that were infused elsewhere, though. 

And, surprise, it’ll be less smoky than the Mos Eisley cantina. Lowell Cafe (again, compelled by law) has installed an air-filtration system to clear up the haze.
