6 licensed shops open in Chula Vista right now, ranked on a star rating weighted by how many people actually left one. California Holistics leads at 4.9.
A 4.9 from 300 people is a weaker claim than a 4.8 from 7,000, so every rating here is pulled toward the California average in proportion to how few reviews sit behind it. Both figures are printed on each entry.
810 Paseo del Rey
Reviews here are mostly about service, and the same few budtenders get named again and again for their recommendations and patience. Regulars also praise the deals, and returns are not normally accepted.
Open
1214 Broadway
Deals come up in review after review, and wax buyers single out Saturday as the day to go, with at least one budtender who clearly knows concentrates. Staff get credit for patience and a welcoming manner, and security at the door draws praise too.
Open
376 Trousdale Dr
Regulars describe being greeted like old friends, down to treats kept ready for customers' dogs, and several budtenders get named repeatedly for patient product walkthroughs. Deals rotate daily through the week, and one first-time visitor mentions a free eighth after spending past a set amount.
Open
684 Telegraph Canyon Rd
Staff draw steady praise for being polite and knowledgeable, even with heavy consumers who want real recommendations. It is cash only and the onsite ATM charges a fee, so arrive with cash and ID.

A star average hides how many people stood behind it. Every rating is shrunk toward the California mean in proportion to its review count, so a shop needs a high score and real volume to reach the top. The weighted figure sits next to the raw one on every entry.
Every one Google lists as open and licensed under a cannabis category at the time of the last check. Shops that had closed permanently or temporarily are dropped, as is anything that turned up in the search but sits outside California.
Because we have not read one. Plenty of shops sell only through a third-party ordering platform that publishes nothing on their own domain, and a brand list is not worth guessing at.
Quarterly. Ratings move and shops close, and a list nobody re-checks becomes a directory of places that used to be good.
