Getting started on opening a lounge

[SETH_exp_X]

Hi, I have been trying to look on-line over the past couple days on how to open a vapour lounge in Ontario Canada, but I can't seem to find any information or even where to start. I assume that there is a multi level process; i.e. Certification, training, running a business... I'm sure the list goes on, but I'm unsure where to start or where to go to get certification for a place like that.

My concept is not a lounge that sells MJ, it would be a vapour lounge on a second floor with restricted access. the bottom half would be a coffee shop/source of entertainment like video games, computers, and other stuff after brain storming. I guess it's more of a vapour/LAN/arcade/coffee shop.

Hopefully someone out there has some advice and can help direct me on my way to keeping this from a pipe dream.

Unfortunately I don't have any useful information to help you, but do it! I will come visit if you ever open it

Oh, oh, oh, I'd give anything for a vape out-on-the-town! Just one vape!

I would suggest talking to the owner of one of the already succesfull smoking lounges In ON.
- Vapor Central on Young Street
- Hotbox Cafe in kensington market

We have a non-profit lounge in California. Best advice is get a very good lawyer.

If he told you that then they'd have to move it.

I asked around a bit about this. Toronto has a few lounges but no legal ones. There is no provision for a legal lounge in the medical marijuana regulations in Canada.

lol I know, wasn't expecting exact address, just which area. I'm assuming it's San Jose, since that's his location.

This is from our lounge in downtown San Jose California. It had 6 sofas with Zephyr Vaporizers on each side. The lounge was 100% free for use which made it a lot of fun. We are working with a dispensary to get a much nicer lounge up and running by the 25th of this month. It is a lot nicer and i will be sure to upload pics when it is ready.

There are a LOT of legal issues involved so be sure to C-Y-A
