The state of Michigan’s first cannabis consumption lounge is poised to open to the general public sometime this summer in Hazel Park. Hot Box Social, 23610 John R Road, has already been open for educational workshops on topics such how to become a bud tender but with a recently secure license allow on-site weed usage, the lounge expects to open for private events this month and to the general public in the coming months.

Owned by Troy-based Trucenta, which also operates the Breeze recreational provisioning center just down the road far from Hot Box Social, the 3,000-square-foot lounge features capacity for approximately 200 people ideal for private indoor meetings and events, as well as a 5,000-square-foot back patio, according to a news release.

Ever since recreational marijuana became legal in late 2019, lounges for enjoying the sticky icky have also been allowed, however, businesses seeking licenses to operate such spaces have been slow to apply because of the pandemic. Now with social distancing restrictions mostly in the rearview, a handful of other consumption lounges are also in the works across the state. One note, these lounges aren’t exactly the weed equivalent to bars. Flower, edibles, and other cannabis products cannot be purchased onsite, guests must have it delivered from a list of licensed local dispensaries.

The only reason I would gather with other tokers is to swap goodies. No social smoking for me.
