How it works

How cannabis is sold in Crescent City

Crescent City's council capped cannabis retail at five, stricter than the planning commission's eight, and the register now shows exactly five stores.

Who fills the five slots?

5TH and Green is at 1607 5th Street and Crescent City Cannabis Company at 415 Highway 101. Fuego, Leo's World and Grovys sit on H, L and M streets. Verdex holds no scores for these five, which are simply the licences on the state list. The county tax is the reason a shop just beyond the boundary is not part of the count, and anyone comparing prices between the two sides should expect the difference to show at the till. The licensed-shop guide explains how to confirm a number, and the north coast belongs to California.

Cannabis in Crescent City: questions

Why is there no store on the north edge?

A shop just outside the city boundary at 1070 U.S. 101 closed in protest of the county's 6% retail cannabis tax, according to Lost Coast Outpost.

Is the cap of five permanent?

It is the city's ordinance as finalised in 2020. Check with the council before relying on it for an application.
