DISPENSARIES
Because we’re over dingy dark spaces that only invite stigma and pressure. We’re here for the 21st century of modern dispensaries. Whether it’s fabulous interior design, an assortment of goodies, or the realest of people—we keep coming back for more.
Sparc
What is now revered as a SF classic, Sparc is where are all the young and cool hang. SPARC is a nonprofit collective dedicated to providing lab-tested, affordable, high quality cannabis and subsidized health services to their a-class members. They aim to educate the happy patients about cannabis treatments and other alternative health approaches to supplement their medicine. And don’t think they aren’t working to better the community, SPARC advocates often for local and national change when it comes cannabis. Education is key. // 1256 Mission St, Mission
Bloom Room
What can be described as the “Ikea of cannabis,” Bloom Room is on display with their goodies. With a range of all available flowers at the counter, members can easily browse the entire selection of cannabis on deck. The cherry on top, their knowledgeable cannabis consultants are ready to help you find the correct medicine for your particular tastes and needs. As a Member of the Collective, you are also invited to use their Volcano Vaporizers, which are located in the fully-stocked Vapor Lounge. // 471 Jessie St, SoMa
Dutchman’s Flat
If Sightglass coffee and cannabis had an amazing love child: named for the historic neighborhood now known as Dogpatch. Dutchman’s Flat follows the tradition of Dutch coffee shops by offering top-grade, lab-tested, and masterfully grown cannabis in a welcoming, community-minded environment. Their interior follows suit with the cool crowd, hard wood detailing, metal finishes, and the best part: satisfying graphic design. Let’s be real. // 2544 3rd St, Dogpatch
Flow Kana
What took the cannabis world by storm: Flow Kana was the first namely cannabis house to bring the megaphone into people’s ears. The team over at Flow Kana pride themselves on being the first sustainable, sun-grown cannabis brand to represent two of California’s most special micro-climates and their small farmer ecosystems. They partner with, and give scale to, premier artisan farmers in Mendocino County and Southern Humboldt who focus on small batch, boutique strains. Available throughout California, their Oakland roots stay strong and beyond. // Find Them at Magnolia, 161 Adeline Street, East Bay
Eaze
The poster child of Postmates for pot, Eaze offers their customers the “right to your door” delivery that’s been oh-so-missing from the Bay Area cannabis scene. Founded in 2014 by Keith McCarty, Eaze is the fastest growing technology startup in the cannabis industry. The platform allows patients to get medical marijuana delivered by friendly, background-checked drivers from local dispensaries in under 20 minutes. You can also get your MMJ card quickly with Eaze MD, which is incredibly mind-blowing. // eaze.com
ACCESSORIES
Because the ordinary pipe doesn’t cut it and since we live in a city of innovation: indulge. Everything from beautifully crafted water bongs to USB rechargeable pens, the Bay Area’s accessory scene is vastly growing. Viva La Tech.
Pax 3
Founded by two Stanford Design Program graduates, San Francisco-based PAX Labs, Inc. was developed with the mission of making smoking obsolete. They create superior, beautiful and technologically advanced products that push the boundaries of vaporization. To build products that are not only more effective but also those that consumers can relate to: simple, pleasurable experiences—PAX 3 delivers a strong, pure vapor within 22 seconds, and subsequent heat-ups are nearly instant. The latest battery technology powers an oven 2x the strength of PAX 2. Colored LED lights provide real-time communication and the device conveniently vibrates when ready for use. PAX 3 heats when you bring it to your lips and cools when you set it down. // paxvapor.com
hmbldt
Making a pen for every aspect of your life, hmbldt knows what the real person is up to on the day in and day out. For example: A THC-dominant formula driven by myrcene and blended with limonene. hmbldt passion delivers a euphoric feeling designed to increase sensuality and heighten your sexual experience. The pre-filled hmbldt dose pen™ offers over 200 doses (2.25mg per dose) and ensures a precise dose every time. And if you guessed right, their name is based off of a county in California that homes the most complex cannabis strains in the world, which are rich in the healing compounds of major and minor cannabinoids and terpenes. // hmbldt.com
Summerland Ceramics
So we report on makers all the time, some who do very cool things in the Bay Area. Summerland, however, is taking our ceramics cake with their VERY chic all white water bongs. We first discovered these artistically sound bong friends at Westcoast Craft Fair — hoards of people rummaged their booth and we couldn’t even get close enough to pick one up. The design factor of this particular toking accessory would be hands down the all white facade, minimalists—it’s your time to rejoice. Summerland is best described as a lost hideaway for sun-seekers, wave worshipers and coastal daydreamers. The Chongo (their most popular model) is nothing super revolutionary in design – you’re not looking at the next trend in bong design and that’s what makes it fantastic; it’s instantly recognizable but an updated version—like your childhood home with new tiling. It’s pure white, ceramic design became an instant hit with design enthusiasts and stoners alike. All Summerland pieces come with high-grade silicone grommets that are super easy to clean. The Chongo is minimal, sleek, and deserves a place on your shelf. // welcometosummer.land

The byproduct of an accountant and biochemist, Yannick Crespo and Allison Bordsen, these two revolutionaries set-out to create a yet-seen pot product: a cannabis-infused extra virgin olive oil that was not only neutral and full-bodied in flavor, but also dosage specific. Pot d’Huile is a sophisticated yet simple way to imbibe both culinary and cannabis palettes. Check out the recipe section on their website, but for now we’re going to drizzle some over our avocado toast and enjoy. // potdhuile.com
