    Everything about this dispensary is amazing. I went in and was immediately greeted by security and the employees. Upon entrance to the dispensary I noticed they have a big variety and selection of all products. Employees were very welcoming and answered everyone of my questions. I picked up a couple gummies based off employees recommendations and let me tell you I was not disappointed, those are now one of my favorite brands. I also picked up a couple prerolls because of the price. I was then introduced to the lounge, which is an awesome spot to hang out and consume, the vibes were great and so was the product. I definitely will he returning and also recommending them to everyone.

    This place has been undeniably the best. I drive approximately 40 - 50 miles just to come here. Their prices beat the ones in my local area, a large selection of products, and their staff are incredibly pleasant and helpful. They're non-judgmental and exceptionally accommodating. I stay in the lounge for up to hours at a time. The atmosphere is really chill and respectful. They also provide trays, lighters, grinders, ash trays, etc. in their lounge area so you can enjoy yourself. This is my home away from home. :)

    I stopped by Dank Depot while I was in Cathedral City, and I’m really glad I did. The staff was friendly and made the whole experience smooth and relaxed. Their prices are super reasonable compared to other spots I’ve visited, and they had a solid variety to choose from. But what really stood out to me was the lounge. Hands down, the best one I’ve seen in Cathedral City — clean, chill vibes, and a great place to take your time. You can tell they put thought into the space. Definitely a go-to if you’re looking for a welcoming spot in the area.

    They have constantly improved their space and offerings over the past year and a half. I love how fast I can get in and get out and pre covid i would sit out in lounge and enjoy a sesh and work on my laptop. Its probably the most functional and relaxed club in the area. There are others that are great too I just like no nonsense value, bang for your buck deals and its not overpriced just because they have nice wallpaper type of club. They have reped the medical brands and been super helpful to senior citizens over the years. Im down with these people

    I recently visited Bulldog that truly exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The knowledgeable budtenders greeted me with a smile and immediately made me feel at ease. I was blown away by the quality of the products available at this dispensary. The selection was vast, and everything was clearly labeled and organized, making it easy to find exactly what I was looking for. The budtenders were incredibly helpful, answering all of my questions and providing recommendations based on my needs and preferences. But what really stood out to me was the level of service provided by the staff. They were patient, understanding, and went above and beyond to ensure that I had a positive experience. They took the time to explain the effects and benefits of each product and even helped me choose the best method of consumption. Overall, I cannot recommend this dispensary enough. The knowledgeable budtenders, quality of products, overall service, and welcoming atmosphere make this the perfect spot for anyone looking for a great cannabis experience. I would give this place a 5-star review without hesitation!

Their lowest priced flower will have you way happier than the dry-headache inducing mid shelf (honestly low shelf) products at Palm Royal Collective. So save yourself the headache (literally) and head straight to this one. Trust

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)
