Lompoc, California is a quaint city located in Santa Barbara County. The town gets its name from the Purisimeño term, “Lum Poc” which translates to “lagoon”.

La Purisima Mission State Historic Park is a wonderfully restored mission from the 18th Century that can be toured. Many visitors flock to Lompoc for its wonderful wineries and tasting rooms. The downtown area also has plenty of shopping opportunities and delicious restaurants to choose from. If you’re looking for a more green visit, be sure to stop at one of the many dispensaries in town.
Being the first state to legalize marijuana for medical use in 1996, California has a long history with cannabis. After the state legalized marijuana for adult-use in 2016, the market took off. Although some cities in the state do not allow marijuana sales, Lompoc has chosen to open its doors to the industry and has several dispensaries to choose from. If you can’t make it to a dispensary, you can also order weed delivery right to your door! Those over 21 are able to purchase up to 1 ounce of cannabis flower or 8 grams of concentrates each day. If you have a valid medical marijuana card, you may purchase up to 2 ounces at a time. Dispensaries hours vary, so be sure to check on a dispensary’s hours before visiting as they may close earlier. For those consuming, be aware that it is illegal to drive with marijuana in your system, and you should call an Uber or use public transport.
