San Francisco has long been a cannabis haven for visitors from around the United States and other countries across the globe. Before California passed Proposition 64 in 2016 to legalize recreational cannabis for adults 21 and older, the city's Haight-Ashbury District created the hippie movement of the 1960s and counted famous stoners like the Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin among its residents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medical cannabis pioneers Dennis Peron and Brownie Mary Castro (n\u00e9e Mary Jane Rathbun) launched the modern-day weed-as-medicine revolution from San Francisco's Castro District during the 1980s and early 90s, in response to the AIDS epidemic ravaging the city's neighborhoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast-forward to 2024, and the place known as \u201cFog City\u201d is a sprawling paradise for legal cannabis \u2014 both as medicine and for fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
