Adults 21 and older with a valid government photo ID can buy, including visitors from out of state, and every Hemet license in our directory is also approved for medicinal sales to patients 18 and older.

Hemet is a San Jacinto Valley city where almost every dispensary sits on or near Florida Avenue, the long east-west road through town. In 2024 the city council adopted ordinances authorizing and then revising its rules for storefront cannabis businesses, so the local market is still settling in, and early-morning hours are the norm rather than the exception.
