A cannabis consumption lounge is a place where customers can legally buy and use marijuana projects on-site
The Okay Cannabis dispensary received the green light from village officials.
The village of Wheeling laid out ground rules for the novel business, including a minimum age requirement of 21, time limits, and ensuring customers buy marijuana directly from the business instead of bringing outside cannabis in.
The first Chicago-area cannabis consumption lounge opened in 2022 in Lake County. Adult-use recreational marijuana has been legal in Illinois since 2020.
