Marijuana regulators on Thursday approved rules that may allow people to smoke or consume cannabis at state-endorsed dispensaries in Alaska — perhaps on patios or rooftops.
Under the Marijuana Control Board's rules, consumers will be able to enter a licensed retail store, purchase up to 1 gram of flower or edibles with up to 10 mg of THC and use it in a separate indoor or outdoor area that meets specific standards. Businesses will first need to apply for an onsite consumption endorsement, however, Alcohol and Marijuana Control Office Director Erika McConnell told USA TODAY.
Alaska would be the first to establish regulatory framework for on-site use at the state level, according to Chris Lindsey, senior legislative counsel with the Marijuana Policy Project.
