Recreational & medical dispensaries near you

Legal weed! Yay! Time to visit your local dispensary aka “weed store“, “pot shop,” or “cannabis store.” The different types of dispensaries that exist in the U.S. are recreational dispensaries and medical marijuana dispensaries. These dispensaries are licensed, highly regulated, and are only allowed to operate in states and territories where cannabis has been legalized.

Recreational marijuana dispensaries, also known as “adult-use dispensaries,” don’t require a medical card to visit; but you must be at least 21 years of age with a valid photo ID, which you will have to show. Dispensaries are regulated by state as well as the THC products they are allowed to sell. Each legal state has their own unique marijuana laws and regulations. For example, some states only allow recreational dispensaries to sell cannabis flower while other states may be allowed to offer a full range of THC products from buds, dabs, carts, and edibles. States may also set strict purchase limits for the amount of recreational weed that can be bought at one time. It’s important to make yourself familiar with your state’s marijuana laws before you decide to visit a recreational dispensary. See Leafly’s legalization guide for more information.

Medical marijuana dispensaries are different from recreational dispensaries because they require you to have a valid medical marijuana card in addition to a valid photo ID card. Medical marijuana may be priced and taxed at a lower rate than recreational cannabis. Medical cannabis patients also may have less restrictions when it comes to how much weed you can purchase and how much THC products can contain.

Visiting a dispensary is fun and exciting, but can be overwhelming. Enhance your visit by using Leafly to get dispensary hours, directions, phone numbers, and other basic info. Shop dispensary menus and either order online for pickup or make a list to show the bud-tender.
