How it works

How cannabis is sold in Chula Vista

Chula Vista licenses at most two storefronts in each of its four council districts, while San Diego allows four per district and 36 across the city.

City	Retail rule	What the record shows
Chula Vista	12 retail licences citywide, at most 3 per district, at most 2 of those storefronts	Measure Q passed on 6 November 2018; Chapter 5.19 of the city code sets the caps.
San Diego	36 cannabis outlets, 4 per council district	Outlets are limited to commercial and industrial zones, according to the city.
National City	Storefront and non-storefront retail regulated under Chapter 9.6	The city council has voted on longer storefront hours; check the chapter for its caps.

First storefront: Grasshopper, opened 20 April 2021
Delivery start: Grasshopper Delivery, November 2020
H Street pair: Two Puff-n-dash licences, 646 and 885 East H Street

What the six listings show

Grasshopper at 376 Trousdale Drive was the first business through the permitting process, according to NBC San Diego, and it began as contactless delivery before its doors opened. Other listings: Buzz Cannabis on Nirvana Avenue, California Holistics on Paseo Del Rey and Wellgreens on Broadway. With four districts the two-storefront cap implies at most eight shops in total, which the six listed here do not yet reach. State-level limits sit at the California level.
