How it works

How cannabis is sold in Cathedral CTY

Cathedral City ended its cannabis moratorium on 22 October 2025, when the council approved an ordinance built around odor control.

Cap south of I-10: 20 dispensaries
Tax on dispensaries: 5% of gross receipts, per CREC
Repeat brand: Desert Kush at two addresses
Nine listed stores: Perez Road, Cathedral Canyon Drive, Vista Chino

Why can't a twenty-first store open south of the freeway?

The city treats more than twenty approved dispensaries south of Interstate 10 as an excessive concentration, and since November 2016 it has stopped taking new applications there. Nothing limits the north side, but none exist. That fixed pool is why the same operators reappear: Desert Kush at 36633 Cathedral Canyon Drive and another Desert Kush on East Palm Canyon Drive hold separate licences.

Where do they cluster?

Perez Road carries Cathedral City Releaf at 68444 and Dr. Greenthumb at 68333, while Atomic Budz is on Cathedral Canyon Drive. Desert-wide context sits under California.
