Finding the best dispensaries in California
by Bud Media Team · July 08, 2022
California is the birthplace of regulated cannabis and dispensaries in the U.S. A perfect storm of relentless activism, progressive politics, Humboldt county weed created conditions that enabled the first medical cannabis programs in the world. But it never would have happed without pioneering dispensary operators who opened their doors and risked local and federal prosecution in the days after prop 215 passed in 1996.
Jack Herer, "Brownie Mary"Jane Rathbun, Terence Hallinan, and Denis Perron are among the giants on whose shoulders stands the largest legal cannabis economy in the world. A slew of activists turned OG early operators are still grinding in Cali, making it a very distinct cannabis market and culture relative anywhere else in the country or world. Count weed among the many leading industries and innovations coming out of the Golden State.
Dispensaries in California have a mix of retailers; iconic old school pot shops, and slick newer dispensaries with an apple store vibe. There are also tons of cool consumption lounges and dab bars in California dispensaries. And even more weed delivery service providers than dispensaries. Given the deep cannabis culture and sheer size of California, there are as many types of dispensaries as as there are micro-climates, especially between NorCal SoCal.
