It just wouldn’t be the Bay Area if a weed shop didn’t sport some insane level of technology to view your bud. Therefore, Medithrive has a camera with a macro lens displaying flowers on a 4K monitor for optimized #nugporn glory. There’s also a strong mix of health and wellness products like Canndescent calming and creative vape cartridges or Releaf capsules from multi-time Cannabis Cup topicals winner Papa & Barkley. Lower Haight and Mission/Castro (SoMa location is temporarily closed) Swap bud for tech, and this sleek space could easily be an Apple store. You’ll get the same care you would from the Genius Bar, and you can be sure that each product has been through rigorous testing for purity and strength. Peruse the extensive menu from a big screen behind the counter if you know what you’re after, or rely on the patient and knowledgeable staff to walk you through the offerings and explain the difference between the strains. You can buy San Francisco weed in our store.

Before 2018 if you wanted to get weed, you’d just venture on over to Dolores park and wait for a shady looking guy to open his jacket to show you his goods. Thankfully with the legalization you can enjoy a more tasteful atmosphere to purchase and consume your weed in. Below are some of our favorite dispensaries in the Bay Area. 

• Barbary Coast (4.5 stars): This dispensary started in 2013 as a medicinal cannabis center originally, but with the legalization of it it’s expanded in size to include an indoor lounge where you can try out the products. You can find all sorts of smoking, vaping, dabbing, flowers, and concentrates here as well as all of the necessary accessories to go with them.
• Apothecarium (Yelp rating: 4.0 stars): Stepping into any of the 3 shops in San Francisco will seem more like an upscale restaurant than a weed shop. Here you can find a large variety of edibles, topicals, oils, flowers, and other great cannabis products. Sit back in many of their fluffy chairs and try out your new products as it’s allowed inside this shop.
• Grass Roots (4.0 stars): Now for those of you looking for a truly lab-tested product that’s safe and accurate, then Grass Roots is a perfect pit-stop on your cannabis tasting tour. They pride themselves on having some of the most knowledgeable “Budtenders” around and have a menu of over 500 products including vapes, topicals, edibles, extracts, and so much more. Step on up to their wooden bar and let the staff get you up to speed on what the best product for you is.
