Legal recreational cannabis in the (626)
Legal recreational cannabis in the (626)
Since I was in high school, I remember watching Cheech&Chong movies. Two stoners that had slapstick adventures with pot.
I was curious, but never tried it. Too scared. Didnt know anyone that did it. Didnt want to smoke it (I have asthma).
Then, this year, 2018, it became legal in the state of California for someone over 21yrs old to purchase and consume it.
I waited and researched. Kept looking to see what dispensaries would open near me, near or in the (626) area code, so I could purchase some, and try it.
In the past month, I discovered there was a dispensary that was close to the (626) area code. I went there.
Cornerstone Research Collective is a few miles West of Old Town Pasadena. You basically go West on Colorado Blvd, over the old Bridge, about five miles. If you get to the 2fwy, you've gone too far. They are on the north side of the street.
I have only visited them around lunchtime when I have purchased recreational legal edible cannabis. Once on a Friday, and once on a Saturday. Both times I was able to park a few blocks east of the dispensary, on Colorado Blvd, then walk to it. Area felt safe and normal where it was located. No creeps or such.
As of this entry, it is the closest place that is legal, BCC licensee, and such, that I am aware of. The outside of the dispensary is quite discrete. Cash only.
