San Francisco and cannabis have a deeply intertwined cultural relationship that is unmatched anywhere else in the U.S. From the counterculture movement of the 1960s to establishing the first medical dispensary in 1992 (though it wouldn’t be legalized until 1996), San Francisco might just be the greenest city in the country. Decades later, the passion for cannabis in San Francisco not only remains strong, it’s become an essential part of the local economy resulting in some of the finest legal cannabis dispensaries on the west coast. Today, the Golden City boasts over 40 cannabis dispensaries across the Bay Area that serve both recreational patrons and medical patients.

Highest-rated dispensaries in San Francisco
San Franciscans value dispensaries with competitive deals, product transparency, and quick service.
Mission Organic – San Francisco
5258 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA — recreational/medical
“World class customer service and great cannabis.”
DUBE Delivery – San Francisco
San Francisco, CA — recreational
“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.”

Solful – San Francisco

“Great variety and friendly service.”
Love Shack by Green Dragon
502 14th St , San Francisco, CA — recreational/medical
“I’ve been in the Bay three years now, trying too many different dispensaries. Most are honestly just corporate schwag these days. Corporate storefronts, with kids that hardly know anything in terms of medicinal value, and just try to sell you on high THC numbers. I’ve been in a bad streak of going to a new club, and walking out feeling like I wasted my money. The Love Shack has me feeling changed. I’ve been in here a few times now, and I’ve decided it’s my new go-to. Their brand slogan is “quality over everything” and they aren’t playing. Of everywhere I’ve been in town, they have the consistently freshest selection. And even if it weren’t, even their small bud eighths come hermetically sealed in a glass jar. They are perfectly cured too, the first buds I’ve had in a while that were so sticky they’re hard to use. The sheer quantity of flavor is refreshing to say the least, while the THC numbers are nothing to shake a stick at (I haven’t had <30% yet)! The price for the quality is unbeatable too! The $40 “top shelf” jars, contend with competition far above. All in all, it will keep me coming back. The first place I’ve been in a while where I actually feel like I got more than I paid for. The only place with more bang for your buck is the church…”
