Events
Enjoy the events upstairs instead of standing in line!
We’ll have special hours for the 4/20 “holiday.” See us on Saturday, April 20, starting at 10:30 am. We’ll stay open until 7 pm!
Since we expect a busy day, we will not be able to process new applications, renewal paperwork, or access your loyalty points for you. Plan to use Metro, carpool, or park on the street.
The meeting space above the dispensary will be open with events and refreshments:
