Where to Find Cannabis in Lake Tahoe

We are nearly six years into the passing of Proposition 64, which enabled Lake Tahoe communities to access recreational cannabis legally. This gigantic swing of bringing marijuana use out from behind the dark underworld and into the light is a shift of positivity that not only helps the individual, but also the community at large. As long as you are 21 years of age or older and have up-to-date identification, the healing properties of cannabis are truly at your fingertips.

On a personal stage, cannabis is known as a powerful way to relieve nausea, joint pain, insomnia, anxiety as well as a huge spectrum of other ailments. On the community front, cannabis is showing itself as a major win for incoming revenue. Despite the downturn caused by COVID for the majority of Lake Tahoe businesses, cannabis businesses are thriving and bringing in much-needed tax revenue. This two-fold positivity is cementing a reality of recreational cannabis use in Lake Tahoe for years to come. 

So where does one go to find the best cannabis in Lake Tahoe?

Dispensaries & Head Shops

SoL Cannabis

Washoe City, NV

With a reputation for bringing the Tahoe vibe to Nevada, SoL Cannabis is a true representation of the ease and friendliness that this area is known for. Beyond offering a welcoming energy to customers, SoL Cannabis also gives back to the community regularly as well as commits to selling cannabis that is grown only with the power of the sun instead of artificial light sources. You can visit the grow room and lab as well as purchase cannabis-based products at the dispensary. They also deliver to some areas in the Tahoe region. Located just between Carson City and Ren, SoL Cannabis is a hop, skip and a jump away from the Lake Tahoe area.

Embarc

South Lake Tahoe

Created around the belief that all smokers – from the occasional to the daily partaker – deserve special attention, Embarc's mission is to provide a sense of connection and togetherness through cannabis. Their goal is to offer a stage that is built on integrity, honesty and the humanization of the cannabis industry, whether you are a farmer, employed in the industry or the consumer.

Lady Luck Skate & Smoke Shop

Kings Beach, Incline Village and Tahoe City

With its three locations around the lake, Lady Luck is definitely a premier location for all of your cannabis needs. But taking it a step further, the owners, who are skaters and stoners as well, pride themselves in stocking everything that a skater or smoker might need while enjoying beautiful Lake Tahoe. Beyond exceptional weed varieties, the shops sell bongs, pipes, kratom, rolling papers, blunt wraps and huge spectrum of vapes as well as skate decks, sweatshirts, shirts, shoes, hats and all kinds of skate gear.

Tahoe CBD

South Lake Tahoe

With two locations in South Lake Tahoe, Tahoe CBD is your one-stop shop for everything involved with the healing components of CBD. Considered to be a healthy alternative for combating many ailments, CBD offers amazing health benefits without the "high" that is associated with other forms of cannabis. The store offers an assortment of products that use only the most state-of-the-art plant-extraction processes, allowing the highest levels of the healing components of terpenes and phytocannabinoids found in the marijuana plant. The healing properties of these two components are offered in the form of salves, oils, capsules and gummy candies. They also delivers flower and pre-rolls. This little shop brings it to the next level, though, with their skincare line and pet-friendly tinctures that are a literal lifesaver for a pup, whether recovering from a life-debilitating sickness like cancer or just the effects of too much Lake Tahoe exercise.

Tahoe Wellness Center

South Lake Tahoe

One of the longer-lasting dispensaries in Lake Tahoe, Tahoe Wellness Center has participated in cannabis wellness since 2009. With a facility that only offers the best, Tahoe Wellness Center also acts as an educational resource for everything cannabis related as well as a place for groups to meet that discuss holistic services associated with the Tahoe Wellness Center. 

Cannablue Dispensary

South Lake Tahoe

I love supporting family-owned businesses. That may be why Cannablue is one of my favorite places to go for kind bud. But it also has a lot to do with their exceptional selection of products, including premium-level flower as well as concentrates, edibles and vape products. With their mission of only supplying the utmost in quality, they not only sell the best products they can find, but also make sure that what you are buying is the best option for you. Another bonus of Cannablue is that they offer a special appreciation for military veterans and senior citizens.

NuLeaf

Incline Village

One of the first to jump into the scene after the voter approval of recreational/medical marijuana in the state of Nevada, NuLeaf is a fantastic place for being able to see and smell your flower strain before purchasing. They offer a huge variety of flower strains with both THC and CBD healing properties. They also offer delicious chocolate edibles and drinks as well as CBD salves for joint pain relief. In addition to their in-person dispensary, NuLeaf also offers delivery and curbside pickup. They offer discounts for locals if you are a frequent buyer.

Tahoe Green

South Lake Tahoe

Another family-owned dispensary that also is a major player in fundraising for community nonprofits (they have an annual goal of offering 500 hours of community service as well as $25,000 to the Barton Fund and The Boys and Girls Club), Tahoe Green is a business built on the goal of supporting people in health and happiness. The dispensary is huge, coming in at a whopping 4,000 square feet, making it simple to keep social distancing at high priority while shopping. This ample space also is beneficial for their gigantic selection of marijuana products, including flower, pre-rolls, vaporizers, concentrates, edibles as well as cannabis wine and beer. They are also the place to go if you are looking for specific cannabis companies like Kiva, Lowell, Farmer and the Fellon, Mary's Medicinals, Dosist, House of Saka and Ganja Gold.
