Formerly San Diego Recreational Cannabis (SDRC), Cannabis21+ is still the same family- and veteran-owned dispensary you know and love. After opening four locations outside the city, the family decided to drop the San Diego 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 Mission Valley store at 619-906-5546 for deals and discounts not available online. How to order: Cannabis21+ is open daily from 9 am–9 pm for in-store shopping. Order online for pickup during regular business hours.
