Vista allows one medical cannabis storefront per 10,000 residents, or fraction of that, using the higher of the last census or the state's latest estimate, under Vista Municipal Code chapter 5.94. On June 22, 2021 the council added a rule letting a licensed medical dispensary co-locate an adult-use business; it took effect on July 23, 2021 as chapter 5.95.
Verdex lists 11 dispensaries, all with state licences and none yet rated. Age 21 applies to adult-use buyers, medical patients can be 18, and shops need both city and state approval, so ask to see both.

- Medical first: adult-use sales here sit on medical dispensary licences, so ask about both when you visit.
- Population rule: the formula counts any fraction of 10,000 residents as a full unit.
- Licence check: follow the licence-check steps before you buy.
Because the number of storefronts follows a formula, the list should stay close to 11 unless the census or the state's estimate changes. Compare the tax-inclusive total for the same weight at two shops. Neighbouring San Diego has a fixed cap and 1,000-foot buffers, so the counts are very different. The California page covers statewide limits.
