First marijuana smoking lounge opens in Maryland

First marijuana smoking lounge opens in Maryland

Montgomery County’s newest business is unlike any other in the state of Maryland: A cannabis lounge. The Ceylon House in Burtonsville is a first-of-it’s-kind space where Maryland’s medical marijuana patients can legally smoke. FOX 5’s David Kaplan stopped by The Ceylon House to chat about cannabis and more with the owners.

  5. @slemkapone5769 on March 31, 2024 at 7:51 am

    We need these every where



  6. @jinjin530 on March 31, 2024 at 7:52 am

    safe from police violence



  7. @wrecktumplug on March 31, 2024 at 7:52 am

    This doesn’t make sense, why would you go to a place just to smoke in a kinda weird cafeteria style room, not to mention if you drive there then it’s just as suspect as leaving a bar in your car.



  8. @copycat-copycat on March 31, 2024 at 7:52 am

    So what do they sell? Do you pay to get in? Are you literally paying to be in a space with strangers getting high? Sounds like a scam and a disaster waiting to happen lol.

    Lets face it the state of maryland needs as much tax revenue as needed no matter what the source .The next lounge is a legal prostitution lounge where professional gentleman or corporate men can meet sex workers to engage in sexual safe activity in the afternoon to alleviate stress from a hard days work.



  11. @Piper-Down-EZ on March 31, 2024 at 7:53 am

    Aww nice i got a marijuana smoking lounge in my living room



  12. @badbabydarapper6354 on March 31, 2024 at 7:54 am

    Actually, if you look back in history and do your research on marijuana history, you would know that a marijuana had been used in the past and before it came in sometime when they made it on the end it made it illegal by 1700s 1800s somewhere in there is when marijuana actually first started being used and sold like this in Nowdays



  13. @jakupwhite1516 on March 31, 2024 at 7:54 am

    Does your dog have glacomer cause he looks high as fuck



  14. @BigerBoy on March 31, 2024 at 7:56 am

    I wish we had that here in PR🇵🇷. We can’t even smoke the flower, only vaporize it. Hope the police don’t target them unjustly.

    Mushrooms containing psilocybin saved my life. They aided my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quit illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would’ve become medically dangerous to quit. It has also helped me survive depression.



  16. @brucewolfe360 on March 31, 2024 at 8:02 am

    It’s a beautiful idea, but it seems pointless with all the red tape. I do feel it’s a step in the right direction, until it is federally deregulated and all stipulations are removed, nobody who medicated in this manner can truly feel safe and comfortable partaking in a public environment. In small private circles we will always feel safer from prosecution by law enforcement, while at an open venue where we are supposed to feel comfortable may still be audited by authorities at random to verify our ability to enjoy said venue

  18. @overtimesportsbetting2821 on March 31, 2024 at 8:06 am

    I’ll just stay home if it’s that many conditions



  19. @zanderzaza4947 on March 31, 2024 at 8:07 am

    Can’t wait till this happens in the bay and Sacramento! Finally a place to go with no crazy ass drunks in the mix .



  20. @KCTattooist101 on March 31, 2024 at 8:07 am

    Congratulations for being let to make adult decisions



  21. @million8739 on March 31, 2024 at 8:08 am

    So you can randomly buy a drink at a bar for someone but can’t share mary Jane in the same inclusion you smoking in. Lame rules
    And why would someone just wondering around for 30 after you’ve finished smoking



  22. @tonylo6887 on March 31, 2024 at 8:10 am

    Nice idea ..but too many rules



  23. @TrVlogs82 on March 31, 2024 at 8:10 am

    We need a 24 hour one.



  24. @Aktrees on March 31, 2024 at 8:10 am

    No sharing……. bruh



  25. @LukezVlogs on March 31, 2024 at 8:11 am

    I’mma just staying home and invite some friends over for a sesh.



  26. @wonton_soup805 on March 31, 2024 at 8:12 am

    Oh booooooo. I thought they would supply you w/the weed like a bar or dispensary. This is so uptight, I’d rather smoke at home🙄



  27. @jimmyjabs9207 on March 31, 2024 at 8:14 am

    Thats where all the water went



  28. @yahuahforever3169 on March 31, 2024 at 8:18 am

    Sounds like a set up you better have a designated driver when you leave!!



  29. @turtleneckferret on March 31, 2024 at 8:21 am

    This is something that doesn’t need to exist



  30. @marcobruno3347 on March 31, 2024 at 8:21 am

    I got neckpain, backpain, dickpain, painpain – just gimme my wee…



  31. @smacktography8223 on March 31, 2024 at 8:22 am

    Have to sit there for an hour after? Why not smoke outside? Lol



  32. @cmartin6109 on March 31, 2024 at 8:23 am

    Peace and Justice to all my brothers and sisters who had their lives and dreams stomped out in prison, and dickhead cops because of marijuana charges in the last 30 years. We use to smoke in anxiety , hiding, and fear in the n.y.c streets, in the 90’s. Law enforcement would act like you were a crack dealer over a Blunt, while they would give white kids tickets for smoking. Now Corporate America has taken over the cannabis Industry , and you can get permits for safe spaces to smoke. Free all Cannabis prisoners, and expunge all records.



  33. @djefferson5669 on March 31, 2024 at 8:24 am

    A person with serious back pain isn’t going to last five minutes in any of those chairs.



  34. @FoodDeliveryStories on March 31, 2024 at 8:25 am

    Um so don’t care why is this news 😂



  35. @kevinramos5188 on March 31, 2024 at 8:26 am

    When can I go



  36. @Archangel89 on March 31, 2024 at 8:27 am

    Louisiana next



  37. @cashrules520 on March 31, 2024 at 8:30 am

    Bruh imagine this mix with a jazz cafe. Man I gotta move. If they have this. I’m with it. Needs to be upscale mix some poetry jams. Bruh this could take off.



  38. @Freshadventures_ on March 31, 2024 at 8:30 am

    Those chairs look so uncomfortable lol



  39. @BIGHOMEY242 on March 31, 2024 at 8:31 am

    Soon as leave they gonna pull you over. Montgomery co.



  40. @claypeter1402 on March 31, 2024 at 8:32 am

    Who else going 😂



  41. @thomzyy on March 31, 2024 at 8:33 am

    Goodluck, I can see this as a police trap for people driving while high. I can only imagine the amount of bullshit DWI’s.



  42. @johnmcdevitt420 on March 31, 2024 at 8:33 am

    Can u mix ur medical marijuana with another person’s an smoke it together since it’s both of there stuff?



  43. @princesd1909 on March 31, 2024 at 8:34 am

    The satanic state of America . It will o ly bring destruction on itself.
    Read about sodom, pompei and the dead sea



  44. @Steve-dy1wf on March 31, 2024 at 8:35 am

    All these new marijuana smokers are funny thinking they are going to cash in on concepts. What stoner wants to be away from the comforts of home and around a bunch of annoying strangers?



  45. @LocKing9423 on March 31, 2024 at 8:36 am

    Well it’s about damn time but damn you can’t be a regular civilian who enjoys weed you have to be a patient still very regulated if you ask me,



  46. @slayskool1964 on March 31, 2024 at 8:37 am

    This is not the first of its kind. These places have been in CA for years, like The Headroom Gallery. They had a full bar with dab-rigs, female bud tenders, comedy shows each week, various weed vendors, DJ’s, and they had a hydraulic press machine if you wanted to press your weed for extract.



  47. @hollykelley2369 on March 31, 2024 at 8:40 am

    GOOD PLACE TO SELL FOOD.



  48. @M0SCON1Audi0 on March 31, 2024 at 8:41 am

    That’s BS, why in the f you want to pay someone money to light a joint there when you can do it at home for free or play video games or a movie and dinner with a friend or go out to get something to bit after smoking, plus why show the whole world your a Marijuana user. Think don’t be dumb. why open one to use your stress medicine, pain killers 🤔 you see how stupid idea it is. Shaking my head.🤷🤦 You go in those places so they can dictate and they might even call the cops on you, stupid in all forms.



  49. @shadetree10000 on March 31, 2024 at 8:41 am

    Sign of the times indeed 💰



  50. @chosensoul323 on March 31, 2024 at 8:42 am
