Los Angeles has had an impressive cannabis scene since Proposition 64 passed in November 2016. There are hundreds of dispensaries throughout the city that sell high-quality medical and recreational marijuana (California was the first state to legalize medical marijuana, back in 1996). There are also plenty of delivery services, dispensaries are generally open from 8 AM to 10 PM, and you’ll find cannabis lounges throughout the city. It’s important to remember, however, that while cannabis is easily accessible and prolifically diverse, consuming marijuana in public is illegal. Additionally, like everywhere else, it is illegal to drive while under the influence.
