Operating vehicles or heavy equipment after consumption is both illegal and genuinely dangerous, regardless of your tolerance level.

Clubs are cultivation and distribution points — not consumption lounges at all licensed facilities. Marketing of cannabis products, brand promotion, and international transport remain illegal under all circumstances.
