Howard: Well so far we’re talking stores, but there have been talks about marijuana cafes, things like that. Where does that stand?

Hoffman: On the table are two sets of policies — one to authorize social cafes, one to authorize home delivery. They are now being translated into regulations, and we will vote on those regulations in a couple of weeks.

Howard: When it comes to the cafes, some communities have talked about issues like odors and noise.

Hoffman: Sure.

Howard: How do you expect to deal with that?

Hoffman: We put together a working group that recommended that smoking not be allowed indoors. Vaping would be allowed indoors, but only if there was an adequate ventilation system in place.
