Celebrity cannabis lounges have turned getting high into a full-on nightlife experience. Instead of ducking outside between drinks, party people are booking cabanas, ordering “canna-cocktails,” and lighting up in spaces created or led by the same stars they watch on screen or hear on playlists.
In West Hollywood, The Woods has become the crown jewel of celebrity-owned lounges. The lush, jungle-like space is co-founded by actor and cannabis advocate Woody Harrelson alongside his wife Laura, comedian Bill Maher, tennis legend John McEnroe, and partners from ERBA and Schoos Design. Guests wander through tropical greenery, koi ponds, and glass cabanas while browsing a dispensary menu focused on premium, often outdoor-grown California flower. It feels less like a shop and more like a Hollywood garden party where the dress code is “chill but camera-ready.”
On the hip-hop side of the culture, Cypress Hill frontman B-Real has turned his legendary “Dr. Greenthumb” persona into a real-world franchise. Dr. Greenthumb’s started in Sylmar, California, in 2018 and has since expanded across the state as a high-end retailer owned and founded by the rapper. Locations in Los Angeles and beyond are known for exclusive strains, live DJ sets, and events that feel like intimate tour after-parties. At various points, Dr. Greenthumb’s has even promoted lounge-style experiences and grand-opening smoke sessions that blur the line between dispensary and club night.
Further up the state in Coalinga, Bay Area rapper and entrepreneur Berner has transformed his Cookies empire into a destination party spot. Cookies, co-founded by Berner and cultivator Jai, has grown into a global cannabis brand with dozens of dispensaries. In 2021, Cookies opened its first U.S. consumption lounge inside its Coalinga dispensary, giving fans a place to buy and legally consume the brand’s famously potent strains on-site. The vibe is part music-video set, part weed clubhouse: think merch drops, limited strains, and a crowd that treats a trip to Coalinga like a pilgrimage.
Vegas, naturally, refuses to be left out of the celebrity cannabis conversation. Inside the massive Planet 13 entertainment complex, the Dazed! consumption lounge has become a magnet for star-powered events. The lounge offers a high-energy environment with rotating cannabis drinks, art, and party programming. Planet 13 has hosted appearances by heavyweights like former boxing champion Mike Tyson and rapper Wiz Khalifa, tying celebrity brands and meet-and-greets directly into the lounge experience and giving tourists a nightlife option that swaps bottle service for top-shelf flower.
For partygoers, these celebrity-driven spaces do more than provide a legal place to light up. They blend nightlife, design, and cannabis culture into curated experiences with recognizable names behind them. The smartest move? Treat them like any A-list venue: book ahead, bring valid ID, know the local consumption rules, and remember that most lounges don’t mix alcohol with THC. The right spot turns a simple smoke session into a story-worthy night out—one selfie away from feeling like you’re partying right alongside the stars.
