The pottery

5042 Venice Blvd., Los Angeles – Mid City

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4.9 stars from 44 pharmacy ratings
The Pottery’s philosophy of selling weed is perhaps best expressed by the fact that they reserve the store for seniors every day from 9am to 10am for the first hour of minimalism and contemporary experiences.” That means it lays its focus on products and service. The store definitely looks modern, but by no means sparse or boring. “It’s a pharmacy as pretty as an Apple Store,” writes one Leafly reviewer. “The staff always takes their time if I need a minute and always has an answer to any question.”

Hollywood High Grade

7051 Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles – West Hollywood

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4.8 stars from 140 pharmacy ratings
Given its location on busy Santa Monica Boulevard, it’s no surprise several Leafly reviewers praise the Hollywood High Grade’s easy parking. But the shop also has a lot to offer in other ways: a large selection of products, competent and friendly staff and a constantly changing selection of special offers. A Leafly reviewer writes: “Fantastic place! Everyone was super happy to help, wonderful at explaining everything and great to talk to. We will definitely be back, and often!”

MedMen (downtown)

735 S Broadway, Los Angeles—DTLA

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4.8 stars from 43 pharmacy ratings
There are many reasons why MedMen is perhaps the most recognized pharmacy brand in America. One is the sheer size of the chain, with more than 30 stores in seven states to date. Six of these pharmacies are located within the LA city limits, with seven more in other parts of California. But part of the reason the chain grew so big in the first place is that it offers the quintessential pharmacy experience: a huge selection of top-quality products sold in an attractive environment by knowledgeable staff. The downtown LA outlet gets top praise from Leafly reviewers. “The experience was great,” writes one. “The staff are very competent. All in all a great deal.” See also: MedMen WeHo.
