California marijuana shop where cannabis was lifted was more fashionable than I imagined

Legalization of cannabis is becoming a global trend, such as the lifting of taste cannabis in some states such as California in the United States, and the lifting of ban on Canada through October 2018. In order to find out what the current situation of cannabis sales is, when visiting the marijuana shop in Los Angeles, USA, fashionable and systematic selling was done which does not make any feeling of underground impression at all.

I took a bus of No. 40 aiming for a marijuana shop, away from the downtown of Los Angeles.

Arrived at the nearest bus stop. The sun has completely disappeared. Most marijuana shops seem to be in a location where public safety is not so good, so it is better to visit while the sun is bright.

A shop named "WONDERLAND" that was in a place I walked a bit from the bus stop.

The place is here.


It was equipped with a large parking lot, and all the customers seemed to be visiting by car.

The building was surrounded by a barbed wire for some reason.

When going into the entrance from the entrance, there is a security gate when entering from the entrance ......

In order to enter the store you need to check the metal detector. When the buzzer rang, a strong man invited me to "come here" individually and had a body check. Since I was asked for identification as I go through the security gate, I presented my passport, but I could never get a passport number etc.

Bags and baggage are prohibited inside the store. We will put luggage at the locker at the entrance, but it is safe to visit with the hands as the number of lockers is limited.

After passing the entrance security check, you can move inside the store.

This shop is a style in which glass cases with counters and items are lined up along the walls.

The inside of the store is very clean and the menu looks like a fast food store.

In the glass case, there were many fashionable items displayed, not plant marijuana. Of course it is all products containing cannabis ingredients.

Package which is the same as general cigarette. It may not be noticed unless it is said to be marijuana ....

There seems to be a cannabis product of style like electronic cigarette.

Other drink type cannabis

Confectionery type like gummy called gummy

chocolate

Even beginners, such as cookies, had items that could be handled without resistance.

Of course there is also a cigar type (joint). There seem to be various flavors.

Also, although it was not exhibited, it was also possible to purchase cannabis seeds, condensed waxes, bazes (dried cannabis), the types were specified on the list.

Although it is inside the store that does not feel the underground impression, the skull display is sharp.

There were skull footprints in the waiting queue of staff who will respond at the counter.

The way to purchase cannabis at this shop is face to face sales. After consulting with the staff at the counter and deciding the product, since the slip is handed out, take the slip to another window, pay the price and get the receipt. After that, we received a product again at the counter in exchange for the receipt, and it became the system.

By the way, it seemed that hemp goods could be put in plastic packs because there is a unique strong scent.

In addition, taxes on California State Tax and Los Angeles City Tax are taxed on total for cannabis products, but since the store covers 10%, the tax burden on the product is 24.5% That's right.

When asking a clerk Bradley, this store opened about five years ago "in private". Since the lifting of cannabis in California in 2018, the number of customers including tourists has increased and the business seems to be doing well. When asking "What is your favorite amongst various things?", He replied that smokes (joints) are my favorite.
