About This Location

Catalyst on Pine Avenue

Catalyst opened its first store in Long Beach in 2020, and it still makes the most sense to be in the city where it started.

We came out of the legacy market, back when your bud came in a Ziploc, and this place is staffed and run by actual smokers. It's the short version of why you can ask a real question and get a real answer.

Cat 4 is our own pesticide panel, wider than the state requires. We built it after finding chemicals on legal shelves that the state's required testing wasn't screening for, and we've pulled brands off this wall for failing it, including ones that sold well.

Tax is already included. What you see is what you pay.

Read the longer version here.

The Neighborhood

Pine Avenue is a walking street, and this store is built for it. Plenty of people reach us on foot rather than by car, which changes what moves off the shelf and how fast.

People come off shift from the Ocean Boulevard offices, cut over from the East Village Arts District half a mile east, and stop in on the way down to The Pike Outlets or the Aquarium of the Pacific.

Transit's easy too. Pacific Avenue Station on the Metro A Line sits one block west, in the median of Pacific between 4th and 5th, and 5th Street Station is a short walk east on Long Beach Boulevard.

Past downtown, we're the closest Catalyst for Willmore, West Gateway, the Waterfront, and Alamitos Beach. Regulars come down from Wrigley, Bixby Knolls, and Signal Hill too.

"The store inside is huge and the selection is also huge! So many different products to pick from. The staff is so knowledgeable and helpful. They don't rush you and work with your budget. Amy helped me with this last purchase and made sure I had product with the effects I was looking for." - Lena Bishop. Google Review, July 2026.

"Was in Long Beach on vacation last week and researched this place. Being only Medicinal Marijuana from FL, and having been to Cali dispensaries before, I was looking forward to this place… The customer service from the bud tenders was top notch… The bud tender knew exactly what to recommend… Will def be stopping here again next time im in the L.B.C!!"- JP Truth. Google Review, March 2026.

"Catalyst is the Best dispensary in Long Beach, hands-down! If you know, you know, Coldfire absolutely has the best quality. Especially if you're looking for terps!..." - Daniel Davidson. Google Review, March 2026.

What We Carry

No gatekeeping on the Pine Avenue wall. Here's what's on it and what to ask for.

Cannabis Flower

The Pine Avenue flower wall runs the full ladder, from house eighths to jars you'd save for a Friday.

Blue Zushimi, Black Mamba, Ice Cream Cake, and Cereal Milk all rotate through, with Coastal Sun and Astronauts among the cultivators.

Tell a budtender your number and they'll work inside it. That's the whole job.

Browse the flower menu.

Pre-Rolls

No grinder, no papers, no problem. Downtown Long Beach stocks singles and multi-packs, and empty cones for anyone packing their own.

Want more out of one? The infused packs are rolled with concentrate worked into the flower.

See the pre-roll menu.

Vapes and Cartridges

Two formats, and the difference is the hardware. A cartridge holds the oil and screws onto a compatible battery you already own. An All-in-One turns up charged with the battery inside, so there's nothing else to buy.

Cat 4, Plugplay, and MJuice sit in the Pine Avenue case.

See the vape menu.

Concentrates

Concentrates are extracts, and the case here runs deep. Live resin, cured resin, rosin, badder, sugar, and diamonds all appear.

Some of those words describe consistency and some describe how the extract was made, but none of them is a quality grade. Everything needs a rig or a dab pen.

Potency is printed on every package. Compare before you commit instead of guessing.

See the concentrate menu.

Edibles

Downtown moves fast. Edibles don't, and that's the point. Gummies mostly, plus teas, sodas, chocolates, and mints.

California allows up to 10mg THC per serving and 100mg per package. Read the milligrams per piece rather than per pack, and allow up to two hours before anything happens.

See the edibles menu.

Topicals and Tinctures

Not every shelf in here is about getting high. Topicals are balms, lotions, and patches for the skin, and most of what's in the Pine Avenue case won't intoxicate you, though formulations differ.

Tinctures are oils you put under your tongue or stir into a drink, measured with the dropper. Papa & Barkley, St. Ides, and Friendly are the names to look for.

Browse topicals and tinctures.
