Berner\u2019s Cookies brand<\/u><\/a> of state-licensed weed, clothing, and other ephemera now has a store in Barcelona, Spain. And while the shop\u2019s grand-opening signals that the California cannabis movement has the potential for global expansion, the new Cookies spot won\u2019t be selling pot any time soon.<\/p>\n

The new store, named Cookies BCN<\/u><\/a>, officially opened its doors on Tuesday. Cookies BCN focuses on the \u201clifestyle\u201d aspect of the weed brand, which includes hoodies, shirts, beanies, jackets, caps, stash bottles, and other swag bearing the Cookies logo \u2014 including dog bowls.<\/p>\n

“We picked Spain as our first store overseas because I personally fell in love with Barcelona the very first time I visited, and watching the brand gain traction over the years was truly humbling,\u201d Cookies\u2019 founder and CEO, the Bay-Area rapper Berner, said in a press release<\/u><\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe last time I was in Spain, people from Italy, Ireland, Germany and all over the world gathered in smoke shops and expressed their interest and loyalty to the brand,\u201d he continued<\/u><\/a>. \u201cBarcelona has been a place that cannabis consumers from all over the world gather, and we thought it was a must to open a flagship clothing store.”<\/p>\n
