Windy City Cannabis in Homewood, Ill., is attempting a challenging balancing act — be secure enough to meet stringent state requirements yet be comfortable and welcoming for clients, according to an article on the Homewood Flossmoor Chronicle website.
The entrances have bulletproof glass, bullet-resistant walls, extensive surveillance and other measures designed to control access and protect staff and patrons.
At the same teme, bright white and red furnishings offer what the company officials hope will be a relaxing, inviting environment.
"We want people to feel comfortable, take their time and feel secure," a dispensary official said.
