Dispensaries

Dispensaries by State

The directory is national and rolling out one group of states at a time. Each live state has its own page with every licensed storefront, a city-by-city breakdown and a guide to local rules. These are the states live today:

Florida, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Utah, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Georgia, Iowa, North Dakota, Alabama, South Dakota, Hawaii and Puerto Rico are medical-only, and Virginia stores sell only to medical patients until adult-use sales begin in 2027: their stores serve only registered patients and caregivers, not adult-use shoppers. Coming soon: the rest of the legal states are next, over the coming weeks.

Top Cities for Dispensaries in the U.S.

These are 13 of the most popular city guides in our directory, from the largest cannabis markets in the states we cover. Each has its own page listing every licensed store, and many include a local guide and neighborhood breakdown.

New Buffalo makes the list because it sits on the Indiana border, close to Chicago, and draws shoppers from out of state. Portland's store count reflects Oregon's lack of a licence cap, while Washington caps retail licences, so Seattle has fewer, larger stores. Las Vegas has more stores than every other Nevada city combined, though many stores with a Las Vegas address sit outside city limits in unincorporated Clark County.

Local Dispensary Guides by City

These city pages go beyond a store list: each covers local taxes, store hours, where you can legally smoke, nearby cities and the questions shoppers ask most. We add new cities every week.

Medical, Delivery and Tribal Dispensaries Explained

Medical

Medical rules differ by state. In California, Michigan and Illinois, many stores hold licences or registrations to serve medical patients as well as adult-use customers. In Washington, the Department of Health endorses certain licensed stores to serve registered patients, who then pay less tax and can buy more. In Oregon, most stores are registered to serve Oregon Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP) cardholders, who pay no cannabis tax. In Colorado, many businesses run a medical store and a retail store at the same address, and registered patients can buy up to 2 ounces of flower a day at a medical store. In Massachusetts, registered patients buy at licensed medical marijuana establishments and pay no marijuana excise, sales or local marijuana tax on medical marijuana. In New York, certified patients buy at dispensaries run by registered organizations, which matters most for patients aged 18 to 20, who cannot buy at adult-use stores. In Arizona, most stores hold both an adult-use and a medical licence, and registered patients can buy up to 2.5 ounces in any 14-day period without paying the 16% marijuana excise tax. In New Jersey, medical dispensaries, known as alternative treatment centers, serve registered patients, who pay no state sales tax and can buy up to 3 ounces per 30 days as set by their practitioner. In Missouri, most stores are comprehensive dispensaries that serve both adult-use customers and registered patients, who pay 4% state tax instead of 6% and are generally limited to 6 ounces of dried marijuana per 30 days. In Ohio, every store serves both adult-use customers and registered patients, who pay sales tax but not the 10% adult-use excise and can buy up to 10 ounces of plant material a day unless their physician sets a lower limit. In Maryland, every store in our directory serves both adult-use customers and registered patients and caregivers, who pay no sales tax on medical cannabis up to the amount their provider certified. In Nevada, every adult-use store is deemed a dual licensee that may also serve medical cardholders, who do not pay the 10% retail excise tax. Florida, Pennsylvania and Oklahoma are medical-only, so every store there serves only registered patients and caregivers. In Florida, stores are run by medical marijuana treatment centers licensed by the OMMU, patients need an active registry ID card, and medical marijuana is exempt from sales tax. In Pennsylvania, patients need an active state medical marijuana ID card, can get up to a 90-day supply at a time and pay no sales tax. In Oklahoma, buyers need an OMMA patient license, or a 30-day temporary license if they hold another state's medical card, and pay a 7% medical marijuana tax plus state and local sales tax. Look for the Medical badge; 7,218 stores in our directory have it.

Delivery

Delivery is legal in some states and banned in others. Oregon allows delivery from stores with an OLCC home-delivery endorsement, and California and Michigan allow delivery from licensed retailers. Colorado allows delivery only from stores with a state delivery permit, and only where the local government has approved it. Massachusetts allows adult-use delivery from licensed delivery businesses, though not between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m., and New York lets licensed dispensaries deliver to homes and private businesses. Arizona allows delivery from licensed stores under ADHS rules, though cities may restrict it, New Jersey allows delivery from licensed retailers and delivery services, and Missouri allows delivery from comprehensive and microbusiness dispensaries. Nevada lets licensed stores deliver in CCB-inspected vehicles, and in Florida medical marijuana treatment centers may deliver to qualified patients and caregivers 24 hours a day. In Maryland, adult-use delivery is reserved for micro dispensaries once they are operating, and standard dispensaries may deliver only to registered patients and caregivers. Ohio law lets dispensaries deliver medical marijuana to registered patients and caregivers under Division of Cannabis Control rules, but it dropped the old express permission for adult-use delivery. Washington and Illinois do not allow cannabis delivery to consumers. Right now 601 stores in our directory carry the Delivery badge, all of them in Oregon, where the state licence list records the endorsement. Check a store's own page or call ahead to confirm delivery elsewhere.

Tribal stores

Several tribal nations run cannabis stores on their land under agreements with the state. They follow the same age and purchase rules as state-licensed stores but are often missing from the state retail list, so many directories miss them. We list 21 verified tribal stores, currently in Washington, each marked Tribal-owned.

How to Choose a Dispensary

With so many stores to choose from, a few checks make a big difference. Make sure the store is licensed (every store here is, and most show their licence number). Check opening hours before you go, since legal sales hours vary by state and, in some states, by city. Compare daily deals and first-time discounts, look at whether the store serves medical patients if you have a card, and check for a Delivery badge if you would rather order from home where delivery is legal. Our full guide to finding the best dispensary goes into more detail.

Dispensary Rules by State: Limits, Delivery and Home Grow

The minimum age for adult-use purchases is 21 in the 16 adult-use states we cover. Florida, Pennsylvania and Oklahoma are medical-only: there are no adult-use sales, and only registered patients and caregivers can buy. Adult patients can qualify from age 18, and younger patients can get medical marijuana only through a parent, guardian or caregiver.

Taxes and sales hours vary from state to state and often by city or county, so check each state page for local details. Registered medical patients may be able to shop from age 18 under their state's medical program, and in Florida, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Utah, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Georgia, Iowa, North Dakota, Alabama, South Dakota, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and (until 2027) Virginia a medical card or certification is the only way to buy. One rule is the same everywhere: you cannot carry cannabis across a state line, even between two legal states. Doing so is a federal crime.

How The Weed Street Journal Verifies Dispensary Listings

We only list stores that are legal. Every listing starts from the official licence list published by the state's cannabis regulator: the DCC in California, the CRA in Michigan, the WSLCB in Washington (with medical endorsements from the Department of Health), the OLCC in Oregon, the IDFPR in Illinois, the MED in Colorado, the CCC in Massachusetts, the OCM in New York, the ADHS in Arizona, the CRC in New Jersey, the DCR, part of the Department of Health and Senior Services, in Missouri, the Ohio Division of Cannabis Control in Ohio, the Maryland Cannabis Administration (MCA) in Maryland, the Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board (CCB) in Nevada, the Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU), part of the Florida Department of Health, in Florida, the Pennsylvania Department of Health in Pennsylvania and the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA) in Oklahoma. We include only active retail storefronts. Tribal stores, which are not on state lists, come from tribal and public sources and are marked Tribal-owned.

Where the regulator publishes licence numbers, each listing shows its number so you can check it yourself with the regulator. New Jersey's public store map does not include them, so New Jersey listings show the store's address and map instead. We refresh the data every month, remove stores whose licences are no longer active and add new openings. Featured listings are paid placements and are always labelled.
