About This Location
Catalyst on Venice Boulevard
Catalyst Mid City operates under California state license C10-0001205-LIC, which the DCC lists as an Equity Retailer. Los Angeles runs a separate Social Equity Program, set up to address the uneven effects of cannabis criminalization on the city's neighborhoods.
Prices at Mid City already include tax, so the shelf tag matches the receipt.
Cat 4 is the testing standard we set ourselves: a pesticide screen that reaches past California's required categories, started after an investigation turned up chemicals in legal vapes that state tests weren't catching.
The Neighborhood
Head down Venice Boulevard to reach the store; the I-10 runs just to the south.
Midtown Crossing is under a mile west along Pico, and Jefferson Park starts about a mile and a quarter south. West Adams is 1.4 miles southeast and Koreatown 1.8 miles northeast.
The closest rail stop is Expo/Crenshaw, about 1.7 miles southwest, where the E Line meets the K Line. Farmdale is two miles southwest and La Cienega/Jefferson 3.2 miles west.

What We Carry
The Mid City menu, category by category
Cannabis Flower
On the Mid City wall now: Royal OG, Cereal Milk, Black Mamba, and Blue Zushimi, each sold by the gram and up.
Astronauts, Coastal Sun, and Smoken Promises are among the cultivators here.
Pre-Rolls
Mid City stocks ready-made pre-roll singles and multi-packs alongside empty cones for shoppers who prefer packing their own flower.
Among the finished options, the infused ones have concentrate added, which tends to make them stronger than flower-only rolls.
Vapes and Cartridges
A cartridge is oil on its own and needs a compatible battery you already have. An All-in-One arrives charged with the battery inside.
Cat 4 prices here: $19.50 for a gram cartridge, $23 for a gram All-in-One, and $24 for a gram pod, each 20% lower during the house-brand hookup.
Concentrates
Start with the hardware before you compare jars. Tell a budtender whether it's going in a pen, a rig, or an e-rig; that narrows the case faster than anything on the label.
Shatter, budder, and crumble are about texture, not quality, and most of what's here is meant for dabbing rather than topping a bowl.
Edibles
Gummies make up most of the Mid City shelf, with chocolates, mints, and baked goods alongside them.
Start with the serving line on the label rather than the package total. No adult-use edible in California can exceed 10mg THC per serving or 100mg per pack, and the effects may take two hours to show up.
Topicals and Tinctures
Neither of these gets smoked. Balms, lotions, and patches are applied to the skin, and plenty are non-intoxicating, though that varies by product, so check what the packaging says.
Tincture bottles have a marked dropper for measuring, and the dose goes under your tongue or into a beverage.
Browse topicals and tinctures.

Buying Cannabis Legally in California
California's medical cannabis law dates to 1996, and adult-use sales followed Proposition 64, with licensed stores opening in 2018.
What that means on Venice Boulevard:
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID proving you're 21 or older for recreational purchases. Medicinal buyers 18 and up need a valid physician's recommendation; a county-issued MMIC is accepted but optional.
Daily recreational limits: 8 grams of concentrate and one ounce (28.5 grams) of flower. A physician's recommendation raises the flower limit to 8 ounces, or more if it says so.
You don't need to be a California resident to buy recreational cannabis, and out-of-state visitors follow the same limits. Medicinal buying requires a recommendation from a physician licensed in California.
Use is limited to private property. Streets, sidewalks, and parks don't count, and cannabis bought here can't leave California.
