The California Assembly has passed a bill that would allow marijuana retailers to offer drive-thru windows to serve customers. The measure, which was approved in a floor vote of 55-9 on Monday, says that licensed cannabis retailers and microbusinesses with storefronts could sell marijuana products “to a customer in a motor vehicle in a drive-through located on the premises.”
It previously cleared the Assembly Appropriations Committee and Business and Professions Committee, and next heads to the Senate for consideration.
Under AB 2697 from Assemblymember Gail Pellerin (D), cannabis businesses would need approval from the local jurisdictions in which they operate in order to add the drive-thru option. The sponsor said on the floor that the bill “will expand access to legal cannabis products while strengthening legal market’s ability to compete with the illicit market.”
Pellerin and supporters have testified that the legislation will help make legal cannabis more accessible, especially for medical patients who may find it difficult to get out of their cars.
