Yes (and no)! At our consumption lounges — located at The Artist Tree Hawthorne and The Artist Tree West Hollywood — you can smoke, vape, sip a cannabis drink, hit a bong, or enjoy just about any other method of consumption, as long as the product is purchased on-site.
Heads up: consumption is only allowed at these two locations. Our other retail spots are just for shopping (and browsing some amazing art, of course).

questions about cannabis in California?
Everyone 21 years of age and older can legally consume cannabis in California, thanks to Prop 64, which went into effect on January 1, 2018. You don’t need to be a California resident to partake. Visitors are also welcome to shop and indulge as long as you have an ID to prove you’re over 21.
Adults 18 to 21 years old can also legally consume cannabis if they have a physician’s recommendation (from California or out-of-state) or a state of California medicinal marijuana ID card.
Yes. All customers at the Artist Tree are required to show a valid government issued photo I.D., like a driver’s license or passport, to verify their age. Expired I.D.s are not accepted.
The state of California sets limits on how much cannabis can be purchased at one time. A recreational customer can purchase up to 1 ounce (about 28.5 grams) of flower per day and up to 8 grams of concentrates and manufactured products (including edibles, oils, extracts and other products) per day.
A medical patient can purchase up to 8 ounces of cannabis flower per day.
The state of California and local cities place numerous taxes on legal cannabis.
Here is a breakdown of current cannabis taxes
Recreational (adult-use) customers:
- State excise tax for cannabis: 15%
- State sales tax: 7.25% to 10.25% depending on which California city you’re in
- City cannabis sales tax: Many cities and counties impose an additional sales tax on cannabis purchases ranging from 4% to 10%. Check with your local The Artist Tree location for the applicable tax rate.
Medical Patients:
Patients with a medical marijuana ID card (MMIC) or doctor’s recommendation save on some of the taxes above. This is a little confusing. Here are the details:
- All patients pay state excise tax (15%).
- Patients with a MMIC do not pay California state sales tax
- Patients with a doctor’s recommendation (but no MMIC) pay state sales tax (9.5%).
- Depending on the city, medical patients may pay a reduced or no city cannabis sales tax
- In West Hollywood, all medical patients pay NO city sales tax (7.5%)
- In Los Angeles, medical patients pay 5% city cannabis tax instead of 10%
The prices for cannabis flower and other products vary by location, quantity and product.
At The Artist Tree you can purchase a gram of flower starting at $5 and an eighth of flower starting at $25.
We also carry a range of concentrates, edibles, vapes, CBD products, pre-rolls, THC-infused beverages, topicals, pet products, accessories and other products. Prices vary.
Yes! The Artist Tree offers a Compassion Program at several of our locations to provide cannabis products at no cost to medical patients. The program is currently available at our West Hollywood, Fresno, and Laguna Woods locations. Eligible patients just need to show a valid Medical Marijuana Identification Card (MMIC) or a physician’s recommendation to enroll. Participants can receive medical-use products like extracts, tinctures, flower, pre-rolls, edibles, and topicals from brands you can trust—like Care by Design, Papa & Barkley, LEVEL, Kanha, Coastal Sun, De La Bo, Bloom, and Emerald Bay Extracts FOR FREE! To see if you qualify, speak with a team member at our West Hollywood, Fresno, or Laguna Woods location.

This is where things get a little sticky (and not in a good way). While smoking cannabis is legal in California for anyone 21 years of age and older (or 18 and older for medical patients) , it’s still illegal to smoke, use, eat or vape cannabis in public.
Cannabis consumption is not legally allowed in public, outdoors, or in a motor vehicle (even when the vehicle is parked).
Cannabis consumption is not allowed at most licensed dispensaries in California unless the business has a city license for onsite consumption (like us!).
It is illegal to consume cannabis within 1,000 feet of a school, day care center or youth center while children are present. It is also unlawful to smoke cannabis in places where it is illegal to smoke tobacco.
Cannabis may be consumed in a private business or residence if not otherwise prohibited by law (for example some cities have prohibitions against indoor smoking in rental units). Additionally, property owners may ban the use and possession of cannabis on their privately-owned properties. A private venue cannot sell cannabis unless it has a license from the California Department of Cannabis Control. You can see a list of all licensed cannabis operators here.
The Artist Tree Studio Lounge in West Hollywood and The Artist Tree Lounge in Hawthorne are among the first public venues to allow legal onsite cannabis consumption in California. Our innovative consumption spaces feature a wide variety of cannabis smoking devices, products, and entertainment. To make a reservation, contact us at reservations.hawthorne@theartisttree.com for the Hawthorne Lounge and reservations.weho@theartisttree.com for the West Hollywood Studio Lounge.
California state law prohibits cannabis smoking in public and in publicly owned buildings or land. You are legally allowed to smoke on private property (subject to any rules or restrictions set forth by your landlord).
