The Best Selection of Weed in San Diego
In the world of cannabis, variety makes all the difference. You’ll find plenty of it at our San Diego dispensary. Check out the product categories below, or swing by the store and let our expert budtenders help you find exactly what you’re looking for.
Cannabis Flower
Cannabis flower, also known as bud, marijuana, or weed, is the dried and cured flower of the cannabis plant. It comes in three different types: indica, sativa, and hybrid. If you’re searching for high-quality cannabis flower near you, our San Diego dispensary offers a wide variety of top strains, including Blue Zushimi, Black Mamba, Skywalker OG, and Cherry Zlushie. Our San Diego customers especially love trusted brands like Astronauts, Stiiizy, Blem, and Coastal Sun.
Pre-Rolls
Pre-rolls are ready-made joints that you can buy in multi-packs at your local dispensary. They’re typically filled with ground cannabis flower, while infused pre-rolls are enhanced with cannabis concentrates. Convenient and easy to use, pre-rolls are a great choice for busy consumers who don’t have the time or tools to roll their own. Catalyst’s San Diego dispensary stocks both pre-rolls and pre-rolled cones near you from reputable brands like Cizi, Coastal Sun, Catalyst, and Murphy’s Ridge.
THC Vapes/Carts
THC vape cartridges, often referred to as simply vapes, carts, or pens, are compact, handheld devices used to vaporize cannabis oil. When activated, the heating element warms the oil, producing a vapor. THC vapes are sold in various styles, like standalone cartridges (with batteries sold separately) and all-in-one (AIO) options that combine the cartridge and battery into a ready-to-use device. For THC carts near you, you’ll find top vape brands like Stiizy, Plugplay, Mjuice, and Jeeter at our San Diego dispensary.
Cannabis Concentrates
Cannabis concentrates, also known as extracts, wax, or dabs, are highly potent forms of cannabis. They’re made by isolating and then compressing the plant’s trichomes, which are rich in cannabinoids and terpenes. Concentrates come in a variety of textures and consistencies, which is how they get names like budder, shatter, and crumble. Find THC concentrates near you at our San Diego dispensary, which carries popular concentrate brands like Catalyst, Punch Extracts, Casual, and Cannabiotix.
THC Edibles
Edibles are cannabis-infused food products that offer a smoke-free, vape-free way to enjoy THC or CBD. They most commonly come in a gelatin form, hence the popular nickname, “gummies.” You may also see them as chocolates, mints, and baked goods. Edibles are often used to support sleep, ease pain, reduce anxiety, or simply enhance relaxation, with effects that tend to be longer-lasting than inhaled cannabis. Our San Diego dispensary offers a wide selection of top THC edibles near you, including Drops, Wyld, Punch Edibles, and Whoa.
CBD Topicals and Tinctures
CBD is the non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis, meaning it won’t produce a “high” like THC. As a topical, it can be applied directly to the skin to help relieve pain and reduce inflammation. Tinctures, on the other hand, are liquid cannabis extracts that offer versatile use: you can mix them into drinks, add them to joints, incorporate them into edibles, or take them on their own for a fast-acting effect. The most popular topicals and tinctures near you at our San Diego dispensary include Buddies, Papa & Barkley, and Yummi Karma.
Buying Weed Legally in California
In 1996, California became the first state to legalize medical cannabis. Two decades later, voters passed Proposition 64 to legalize recreational cannabis, and sales began in 2018. Today, cannabis in California is a billion-dollar industry, the largest in the country. If you’re wondering how to buy weed in California, here’s what you need to know:
- You must be 21 or older to buy, possess, or use recreational cannabis. Medical cannabis users must be at least 18 and have a state-issued Medical Marijuana Identification Card (MMIC).
- Bring a government-issued ID that clearly shows your age when visiting a dispensary. Medical cannabis shoppers will also need to bring their MMIC.
- You don’t need to be a California resident to buy recreational cannabis; visitors and locals follow the same purchase limits. However, you do need to be a California resident to buy medical cannabis.
