Maybe you’ve already discovered your favorite dive bar or late-night pizza joint. But do you know the best place for your cannabis needs? We’ve curated Leafly reviewers’ favorites in college towns that have legal cannabis for adults 21 and up.
Note that not every city is included. Some big urban areas, such as Seattle—which isn’t really a college town, is it?—aren’t on here, and some parts of the state don’t allow retail stores. Don’t worry, though. If you don’t see your city, just head over to the Leafly Finder to find a dispensary nearby.
