If you're coming to LA Comic Con from out of town and are interested in buying cannabis, there are a few things you need to know. California is one of the states in the US that has legalized the use of cannabis for both medicinal and recreational purposes. However, there are still certain regulations that you need to be aware of if you want to buy cannabis legally.

In this guide, we'll go over the basics of buying cannabis in California and what you need to do if you want to purchase cannabis during your visit to LA Comic Con.

Step 1: Know the laws

The first thing you need to do is familiarize yourself with California's cannabis laws. Although cannabis is legal in California, there are still certain rules and regulations that you need to follow to avoid getting into trouble with the law.

Firstly, you need to be at least 21 years old to purchase cannabis legally in California. If you're under 21, you won't be able to buy cannabis at any licensed dispensaries. Additionally, it's important to note that it's illegal to smoke or consume cannabis in public spaces, so you should always consume cannabis in private spaces such as your hotel room or a friend's home.

It's also important to note that cannabis is still illegal under federal law, so you should never bring cannabis across state lines or onto federal property. This means that if you're flying into California for LA Comic Con, you should not bring any cannabis with you on the plane.

Step 2: Find a cannabis delivery company

Once you're familiar with the laws, the next step is to find a licensed delivery service or dispensary where you can purchase cannabis legally. There are many in the Los Angeles area, but not all of them are licensed and legal.

The best way to find a licensed dispensary is to do some research online. You can search for dispensaries or delivery services in the LA area and read reviews from other customers to find the best dispensaries to visit. Some popular dispensaries in LA are us (HERB), Medmen, and TLC Collective.

When you're choosing a dispensary, it's important to look for one that has a good reputation and a wide selection of products.

Step 3: Bring proper identification

When you visit a licensed dispensary, you'll need to bring proper identification to prove that you're 21 or older. Acceptable forms of identification include a driver's license, a passport, or a state-issued ID card.

If you're an out-of-state visitor, you can still purchase cannabis legally in California. However, you'll need to show your out-of-state ID along with a valid passport or other government-issued identification.

Step 4: Choose your products

Once you're inside the dispensary or on the website (if ordering delivery), you'll be able to browse a wide selection of cannabis products. These can include everything from flowers and edibles to concentrates and tinctures.

It's important to take your time and choose products that are right for you. If you're new to cannabis, you might want to start with low-dose edibles or pre-rolled joints. If you're an experienced user, you might prefer concentrates or other high-potency products.

When choosing your products, it's also important to consider the effects you're looking for. Some strains of cannabis are more energizing and uplifting, while others are more relaxing and sedating. If ordering from us, you can even shop for your weed by effect! 

Step 5: Make your purchase

Be sure to bring cash, as many cannabis dispensaries and delivery services don’t accept cards. If you choose to order from us, you can choose to pay via cash or card. Make sure to enjoy your cannabis before leaving town. Even though LAX says TSA doesn’t look for cannabis, you might be flying into a more restrictive jurisdiction and should always exercise an abundance of caution and be aware of the laws wherever you are.
