With the number of Dispensaries in California creeping toward 900, it can be hard to decide which one is right for you. Dispensaries and Delivery services vary as much as your neighborhood grocery stores. This one has the pre-rolls you love, and that one has really good sales on vapes. Finding the perfect fit might take some experimenting. Here’s our list of the best California has to offer – because even after 420, we need our weed!

The first US head shop might have opened in 1964 - or maybe it was 1966. The interwebs disagree on the date, but the place was definitely Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco. The city has a long and storied history with the reefer madness. And while cannabis dispensaries have existed legally in San Francisco since 1996, the recreational consumption aspect has definitely changed the game. Today’s cannabis consumer - no longer confined to a shady deal in an alley or wondering if their plug got too high to deliver - is looking for not only the tried-and-true items but the next, new thing. Enter the modern cannabis dispensary.

With ever-growing choices, it can be hard to find the right dispensary for you: Does it have the products you want most? Is your favorite budtender there? Does it support the community and give back? We weeded through California’s offerings to find the best recommendations.
