    The bud that I just tried was super tasty. I love that the bud is organically grown. That really makes a. Huge difference. I used to work at a grow store for a while and the amount of salt fertilizers in bottles marketed as various different products is alarming. I have heard that using those salt nutrients can create poisonous plant material and I have tasted and experienced the difference. I will say organic cannot be beaten but most places don’t want you to realize that. Or that organic is cheaper to grow. Anyways this dispensary was cool and nice and it was a good experience. Man oh man that’s hose taxes tho eh. One day they’ll build a street named after me with all the tax money I’ve given in weed sales haha

    7Stars is truly a haven for the mind, body, and soul. From the moment you step through the doors, you’re greeted not just as a guest but as a cherished part of a warm and welcoming family. I was lucky to be referred by the incredible GoodGood Tamara, known for her dedication to holistic wellness, and she couldn’t have led me to a better place. This center exudes care, compassion, and an authentic passion for helping each person who walks in find healing, peace, and balance. What sets 7Stars apart is the genuine love and appreciation the owners and staff have for each other and for everyone who visits. You feel it in every interaction, in the quality of services, and in the thoughtful atmosphere that feels like an embrace from start to finish. The team here is a rare gem—they are talented, kind, and truly invested in the wellbeing of everyone they serve. If you’re looking for a place that not only prioritizes your health but also fills your spirit with joy, look no further. 7Stars isn’t just a holistic center; it’s a sanctuary. I can’t recommend it highly enough—come experience the magic for yourself!

    I have to give these guys 5 stars across the board. I moved to the area recently, so I tried out a lot of other shops, ordered from different apps, etc. Over the last three months or so, DUBE is where I consistently go back to over and over. Out of about 5 or 6 orders I have placed with DUBE, 5 of those orders, I got at least one free product as a promotional item. One time they were late to accept my delivery order and gave me two pre-rolls and a 0.5-gram pax pod as an apology, on top of what I was already getting. I have never experienced such great customer care and service. Not to mention, every one of their drivers has been some of the nicest and friendliest down-to-earth people I have ever spoken to in regards to a delivery. Personally, I have a lot of anxiety in social situations, so that is something I value. Plus, it was just nice to be greeted by friendly faces with such calming demeanors. I wish I could give you 10 stars! Thank you, DUBE, for being awesome.

    I’ve been using The Velvet Fog Cannabis delivery service whenever I’m on the hunt for Cookies! They consistently have a great selection, and Cookies is always my go-to brand. Today, I was excited to see three new strains I hadn’t tried before. Ordering was smooth, and I appreciated the generous discounts based on how much you spend—it really adds value to the experience! However, when my order arrived, I noticed one product was missing from the packaging. I reached out to Velvet Fog, and they were incredibly helpful. The team went above and beyond to resolve my issue and complete my order. Thank you to everyone at Velvet Fog for the great service and commitment to quality. I’ll definitely be ordering again!

I am on a tight budget but cannabis products help me so much. I have trouble affording the cannabis products that make me feel better. I saw they provided medical patients high-quality free products. I was very surprised that they are so kind and genocide as to help me afford my medicine . Thank you so much for compassionate releaf

Workers are very kind and will help you find what you want and will tell you the best things they got. I was given a tour my first time which is more than sparc has ever done. It's truly a business that cares about it's customers.

What to expect from California dispensaries

California is home to over 800 licensed recreational cannabis dispensaries that serve medical patients and recreational customers throughout the state. As a pioneering cannabis state, Californians have enjoyed the perks of legalized recreational weed since 2016. Whether you're looking to understand the rules better or simply visiting the Golden State for pleasure, Leafly's dispensary experts put together the essential information you need to know before going to a dispensary in California.

California dispensary hours

Most weed dispensaries in California are open from 9 am to 9 pm. Dispensaries are allowed to operate seven days a week and often are open on holidays and during special events. You can verify the operating hours of your favorite California dispensary at any time using Leafly.com.

Items to bring

To enter a recreational dispensary in California, you must present a valid identification card, such as a driver's license, to verify you are at least 21 years old. California recreational dispensaries will accept an out-of-state driver's license if you visit from an outside state and want to buy weed. Dispensaries will not sell recreational cannabis to anyone under 21 years old and will verify your age by carding you at the door with an electronic card reader.

If you're a medical marijuana patient, you may bring your medical marijuana card and take advantage of the option to buy higher amounts of THC products than those without a medical card. However, California dispensaries will not accept out-of-state medical marijuana cards, but patients can still choose to purchase weed from recreational shops.

How to find legit dispensaries in California

People new to retail cannabis may wonder what makes a dispensary legitimate. Technically speaking, legit dispensaries are dispensaries that have a license to operate. Today, there are over 800 total licensed and legitimate dispensaries in California. You can see a list of adult-use dispensary licenses through the California Department of Cannabis Control or browse the top-rated dispensaries in California according to dispensary reviews on Leafly.

How to buy weed in California

California cannabis tax breakdown

Like most goods sold in the US, THC products are subject to certain taxes. Every state has unique laws regarding cannabis tax, including the Golden State. California Cannabis Tax laws include a 15% cannabis excise tax and a state retail sales tax of 7.25%. Additionally, there is an automatic local sales tax of up to 1%. California municipalities have the right to add a business tax of up to 15%. Customers shopping at California dispensaries should expect to pay 23-28% tax when buying THC products. Medical marijuana patients in California are not exempt from cannabis tax.

Cash-only. Credit cards, checks, and cryptocurrency are not accepted

Like other states that have legalized weed, California requires all cannabis purchases to be in cash. Fortunately, most cannabis shops have ATMs to allow you to withdraw money for a small fee. California dispensaries are cash-only because banks operate on the federal level where marijuana is still illegal, making banks unable to accept anything but cash from dispensaries. As a result, dispensaries in California do not accept personal checks, credit cards, debit cards, or cryptocurrency as forms of payment for cannabis products. Cannabis taxes are applied upon each checkout at a dispensary or may be applied electronically through an online ordering system like Leafly.

Where to consume weed in California

California has passed laws outlining where people can and cannot smoke weed. Essentially, California consumption laws state that you cannot consume cannabis in a public space. Therefore, there are only a few key locations where you are free to smoke and enjoy cannabis in California, including:

  • Inside a home that you own
  • Inside a home that you rent with the landlord's written permission
  • Inside a legal consumption lounge

How to transport weed in California

It's important to note that California has passed laws regarding the transportation of cannabis and consumption laws. To safely transport cannabis legally in California, your cannabis must meet the following requirements:

  • Cannabis must be transported by an adult aged 21 years old or older
  • The amount of cannabis transported may not exceed the legal possession limit of 28.5 grams of THC and 8 grams of concentrates

In California, it is illegal to drive under the influence of cannabis. The penalty for driving while under the influence of cannabis starts with 96 hours - 6 months of jail time and a fine ranging from $390-1,000. These fines continue to get steeper based on the first, second, or third offense. To comply with California cannabis laws, you should only have enough weed on you equal to or less than the legal possession limits.

History of weed in California

Originally a state built on agriculture, film, and tourism, California is now a leading center for industries like software, healthcare, tourism, and cannabis. The Golden State has one of the most progressive attitudes regarding recreational cannabis use, with grassroots efforts beginning as far back as 1996 when the state approved the Compassionate Use Act that allowed for the medical use of marijuana. Later in 2016, recreational marijuana was put on the ballot and passed by 56% of California voters, ushering in adult-use marijuana and recreational dispensaries across the state.

Types of weed products available in California

Recreational dispensaries in California offer a wide selection of cannabis products ranging in price, quality, potency, and unique cannabinoid combinations (Ex. high THC, low CBD). Cannabis products widely available in California dispensaries include cannabis flower, THC concentrates, THC edibles, cartridges, and pre-rolls.

But before you start shopping, make yourself familiar with California's cannabis purchase limits. While it's legal to possess up to 28.5 grams of cannabis, there are limits to how much you can purchase per day. If you visit a weed dispensary today in California, you can walk away with:

  • 1 ounce of flower (28.5 grams)
  • 8 grams of cannabis concentrates (edibles, oil, wax, shatter, rosin)
