Massachusetts regulators are planning to offer adults a wide variety of public areas to enjoy legal recreational marijuana.

The state Cannabis Control Commission approved “mixed-use” licenses this week that would allow marijuana sales and consumption in certain businesses that includes lounges, yoga studios, movie theaters, restaurants, and massage parlors, reports the AP.

Under the proposed regulations, both smoking lounges and mixed-use business would only be allowed to sell single-serve portions of cannabis. And similar to rules serving alcohol, customers will not be allowed to take any marijuana products out of the premises.

The plan to allow recreational use in said businesses should help reduce smoking in unauthorized public spaces, according to Cannabis Commissioner Shaleen Title.

“If we give people a place that’s regulated, that’s overseen by trained staff, and where you can use in a responsible way and don’t have to hide, I think that can only be good,” Title said in an interview with the Boston Globe.

While several states have also legalized recreational use and sales, no state currently allows consumption in designated places of business.

The commission plans to enact final regulations by March 15, well before recreational sales are scheduled to begin July 1.
