There's a place like that in my city in Florida.
If they replaced individual bars rather than expanded the space where drug consumption is the basis of socializing.

I don't care about cannabis consumption in public but anything that produces smoke or vapor should be treated the same way as cigarettes. Second hand smoke exposure needs to be minimized.
I am also not sure they would be more profitable. Alcohol is dirt cheap to produce and bars charge insane amounts for it. A $10 bottle in the supermarket frequently goes for hundreds of dollars. A cannabis lounge might be more profitable right now because there is very little supply but I doubt you can have anywhere near the amount of bars or clubs.

I visited a couple of places exactly like this in Madrid and Barcelona. It was really cool, although a bit clandestine due to cannabis regulation. If I recall correctly, it wasn't illegal to use, it just wasn't legal to advertise it, or to do it publicly. The people running the places were really nice, bunch of different selections, and they had board games and good music.
Houston's 8th wonder has delta 8 drinks you can drink in their yard. It's really nice.
In Virginia, I have one of those in my town
