As you know from our dispensary finder, Leafly is laden with incredible dispensaries both new and old. In 2017, thanks to the openings of new medical and adult-use markets as well as the growth and evolution of every existing one, we saw more exciting new openings than ever before, and wanted to spotlight just a few of the places we’re excited about as we head into 2018.

The back wall of The Mint is dominated by a massive mural of a bank vault-style door opening onto an outdoor cannabis grow, which we think is dope.

MüV
Phoenix, AZ
Sleek and streamlined, we love MüV in North Phoenix not only for its aesthetic but also for its community involvement (e.g., they recently wrapped up a holiday toy drive for mothers and soon-to-be-mothers in need).
