Palm Springs is a city of luxury, known for its hot springs, stylish hotels, and cultural prominence as a celebrity getaway. A popular wintertime resort destination located in Coachella Valley, Palm Springs is a place for year-round sun, outdoor recreation, relaxation, and shopping. If you’re planning a visit, the hotels that populate this clean, modern city offer lavish pools and easy access to fine-dining experiences, the walkable city streets, and many hiking trails found throughout the area. No matter the time of year, Palm Springs is always a welcoming city to visit and explore.
Along with everything else Palm Springs offers, it also has an active cannabis scene. California legalized medical marijuana in 1996 and recreational marijuana in 2016, and Palm Springs has allowed the retail sale of marijuana since 2017. There are dozens of dispensaries to choose from within the city, all with a wide variety of store hours (ranging from 9 AM to 9 PM). While marijuana is easily accessible throughout the city, remember that it is prohibited to use marijuana in public and that it is illegal to drive while under the influence. Otherwise, Palm Springs has a very lax marijuana scene, with both deliveries and weed lounges available within the city.
