About Purple Star MD

Purple Star MD is a licensed Mission District dispensary at 2520 Mission St, open 8 AM–10 PM daily with delivery, curbside pickup and daily deals.

Purple Star MD is a licensed medical and adult-use dispensary at 2520 Mission Street in San Francisco’s Mission District (94110). It operates under California Department of Cannabis Control retail license C10-0000133-LIC and has been listed on Leafly since 2013.

Leafly shows the shop open every day from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and Weedmaps also lists a 10 PM close. Beyond the counter, it offers delivery with a minimum that depends on distance from the store, plus curbside pickup and an ATM on site. Payment is cash or debit.

Discounts are a big part of the pitch. The store’s Leafly listing advertises:

  • 20% off for medical card holders, seniors and veterans with ID;
  • 10% off for students and 94110 locals, with larger local deals on Mondays;
  • rotating buy-two-get-one-for-a-penny days on named brands.

On Weedmaps it averages 4.5 stars from 140 ratings, and on Leafly 4.7 from 276 reviews. Short verified-purchase comments on Weedmaps mostly praise quick, friendly service. Older Leafly reviews add detail: a wide concentrate menu, fair prices, and a small room that gets crowded at peak times. One senior complained in 2022 that the advertised senior discount was refused at the register, so ask before you pay.

Bring ID showing you are 21+, or 18+ with a medical recommendation.
