Fine food and awesome: video review by Irie from PleasureMed

Let’s check out a new gourmet cannabis experience in West Hollywood: Irie by PleasureMed.

Founded by the owners of legendary sex shop The Pleasure Chest in West Hollywood, California, PleasureMed includes a dispensary, wine bar and high-end cannabis consumption lounge/restaurant called Irie.

Irie shines in the details. From stunning mid-century design choices to the exquisite execution of a hip, healthy and fortified menu, the experience is near perfect.

Even the cannabis menu – which can be missing from the good weed section in most WeHo lounges – was beautifully curated, offering a selection of brands popular with industry insiders like Alien Labs, Northern Emeralds, Connected, El Blunto, Garden Society and more. Just like most nice restaurants don't offer self-service dining, Irie doesn't allow cannabis consumption outside of indoor settings.

The way Irie normalizes consumption and gives us the same luxuries as foodies and wine lovers almost brought tears to my eyes.

We've never had such a gorgeous space to enjoy weed. As a lifelong advocate, the way Irie normalizes consumption and gives us the same luxuries as foodies and wine lovers almost brought tears to my eyes. We've come so far!

The beauty of Irie is that weed isn't the star of the show. Just because there's cannabis in an establishment doesn't mean you have to serve stoner munchies and shout it from the mountaintops. Irie is about having a fancy experience like you would at any other nice restaurant in WeHo. In this case, doing so will simply make you angry.
