About This Location
Catalyst on Berkey Drive
Palm Desert is Catalyst's Coachella Valley location, with the next Catalyst 36.9 miles west in Hemet.
What you see is what you pay on Berkey Drive, because tax is already folded into every price.
State testing stops at three categories. Cat 4 adds a fourth layer of pesticide screening, which Catalyst introduced after harmful chemicals slipped through.
The Neighborhood
Berkey Drive sits just south of I-10 at the northern edge of Palm Desert.
The Coachella Valley National Wildlife Refuge is 2.7 miles northwest. College of the Desert is 5.2 miles southwest, and El Paseo about the same distance in the same direction.
The Empire Polo Club in Indio sits about 6.7 miles southeast.
Desert Heat and Your Cannabis
Summer here runs well past 100 degrees, and heat is hard on cannabis. Keep cartridges upright, at room temperature, and out of a parked car, because high temperatures thin the oil and raise the risk of leaks and clogs.
Flower dries out faster in low humidity, so close the bag or jar properly and keep it out of direct sun. Chocolate edibles can melt quickly in a hot glovebox.

What We Carry
The Berkey Drive menu, split by product type.
Cannabis Flower
Black Mamba, Skywalker OG, Blue Zushimi, and Cereal Milk are among the Palm Desert strains, with a single gram as the smallest size.
Cultivators change, so check the online menu for who's in stock today.
Pre-Rolls
A finished pre-roll is ground and rolled for you. Singles are worth buying first if you're trying a strain; save the multi-pack for a strain you already like.
Cones are on hand too, but a cone is only the paper and the flower is up to you. Infused options add concentrate for extra potency.
Vapes and Cartridges
A standalone cartridge is oil only and needs your own battery. An All-in-One arrives with one built in and charged, ready out of the box.
Vapes, paragraph 2: Our house-brand Cat 4 vapes start at $19.50 for a gram cart, with the gram All-in-One at $23, pre-hookup.
Concentrates
Bring your hardware into the conversation. Name your device first (dab rig, e-rig, or pen) and the budtender can skip anything that won't work with it.
Concentrates, paragraph 2: Texture names like budder, shatter, and crumble come from processing, not from what went into the extract.
Edibles
A 100mg package isn't necessarily one serving. Check how the total is divided between pieces before you eat one: the legal ceiling is 10mg THC in a serving and 100mg in a package.
Then be patient: an edible can need as much as two hours to register. The same caps cover gummies and chocolates just as much as mints and baked goods.
Topicals and Tinctures
Two categories that skip inhaling entirely. Skin products like balms, lotions, and patches differ in cannabinoid ratio, and the label settles whether a given one is non-intoxicating.
Measure a tincture with the bottle's marked dropper, then take it under the tongue or blend it into a drink.
Browse topicals and tinctures.

Buying Cannabis Legally in California
Adults 21 and over have been able to buy recreational cannabis from licensed California stores since 2018, when sales under Proposition 64 began; medical access goes back to 1996.
At the Berkey Drive register:
Any recreational sale requires government-issued photo ID confirming you're 21 or over. Medicinal patients from age 18 need a doctor's recommendation; carrying a county MMIC is a choice, not a rule.
The daily recreational allowance: an ounce, or 28.5 grams, of flower and 8 grams of concentrate. That becomes 8 ounces with a physician's recommendation, more if the recommendation states a higher amount.
Out-of-towners in the valley buy recreational under the same limits as residents, with no proof of residency required. Medicinal requires a recommendation from a doctor licensed in California.
Private property only, and the owner can set stricter rules. No consumption in public places, and no taking purchases out of state.
