Toronto has had phenomenal weed cafes in the city for at least a decade - well before legalization.

Heck, there’s one (Vapour Central) that’s smack dab in the middle of Yonge and Bloor - about as central as they could get.

These are BOYC - bring your own cannabis - places - they provide bongs for rent and vaporizers like the Volcano, as well as live music and comedy. I recall performing there several times.

The smoking laws in Ontario are strict. I don’t know if we will see the likes of these outside of the grey market here in Toronto - but the grey market ones are great for what they are. Again - nothing special, especially now that it’s legal. It’s a bar but with weed. I mean; what are you really expecting? But if you enjoy it, they’re good, and are definitely a cool cultural experience.

Stand up comedy in front of a bunch of stoned Terrawna folk would be so good for the improv ego. Laughs all around. Never a bad joke.

Don't forget how long Hot Box has been around in Kensington Market. I don't know when they opened shop, but it was definitely before legalization was on the visible horizon.
