Formerly San Diego Recreational Cannabis (SDRC), Cannabis21+ is still the same family- and veteran-owned dispensary you know and love. After opening a third location in Ukiah, CA, and with plans for several more California locations this year, the family decided to drop the “San Diego” reference for clarity. The extensive selection of flower, topicals, edibles, vapes, tinctures, pet products, CBD, seeds, clones, and a better-than-average stock of accessories and glassware make this the place for one stop shopping. Prices listed online are out-the-door—all the taxes have already been added. Delivery customers can (and should) call the store at 619-906-5546 for deals and discounts not available online.

Urbn Leaf has grown to four locations from Vista to San Ysidro, with a fifth shop opening in La Mesa on April 2. The shops are sleek, modern, and look like they could double as matcha-serving cafes.

Check out their Feel Good Bundles, a curated selection of proprietary products at a nice discount, available for in-store purchase.

Customer service is exceptional, with knowledgeable, eager-to-please budtenders, many of whom have spent years working in the industry. The handy pickup window outside of the main dispensary makes grabbing your online order a breeze.

Claiming itself as the first dispensary in the State of California to be licensed to sell recreational cannabis, Torrey Holistics is tucked away in a Sorrento Valley office park, making it a bit of a drive for its many fans, who nonetheless flock in from all over the city. Locals also love Torrey Holistics for their product offerings—while they do feature a good variety of bud strains, they offer fewer than other dispensaries, choosing to focus on quality over quantity. The dispensary is favored by cancer doctors at UCSD, who recommend the dispensary to their patients because of their experience handling medical cannabis patients, as well as the PhD they have on staff, who is available for consultations to answer any medical-related question.
How to order: Torrey Holistics is open for in-store shopping from 7 am–9 pm Monday–Saturday and 9 am–9 pm on Sunday. Order online for pickup or free, cash-only delivery within 20 miles of the dispensary.
