Onsite Consumption Coming Soon to Some Alaska Stores

Kolbe Rose, the manager of Stoney Moose cannabis store, stands behind some of the stores display cases Wednesday, March 6, 2019, in Ketchikan, Alaska. Alaska has moved closer to becoming the first in the country with statewide rules allowing onsite use of marijuana at specially authorized stores. Eric Riemer is a co-owner of The Stoney Moose retail marijuana shop in Ketchikan, a community that is a summer tourist destination in southeast Alaska. He said his business, which is not in a stand-alone building, has had to revise its initial vision of an upstairs consumption area as the regulations took shape and is now looking at some type of outdoor area.
