This site lists licensed cannabis retailers. You need to be 21 or over, or 18 and over with a valid medical cannabis card where your state allows it.
19 licensed shops open in San Jose right now, ranked on a star rating weighted by how many people actually left one. Off The Charts 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.
2200 Stevens Creek Blvd
Friendly staff and a relaxed room are the steady theme, and one regular recommends checking the daily deals. Reviewers also mention good variety and staff who stay helpful even when you come in late.
Open
3591 Charter Park Dr
Patient, knowledgeable staff come up constantly, with first-timers, seniors and a CBD shopper managing pain all describing being walked through their options. One customer says they are always helped in Spanish.
Open
1075 N 10th St
A huge menu running from top shelf to budget, plus steady sales and discounts, keeps regulars coming back, and one notes it sits near San Jose airport. Parking is easy and spacious, and a reviewer suggests arriving before 10 AM for the quickest visit. Veteran-owned, with debit cards accepted.
Open
3100 Stevens Creek Blvd
Regulars say staff learn your name after a couple of visits, and the security guard earns as much praise as the budtenders. New deals run every day of the week. Enter from the free parking lot; credit and debit cards accepted.
Open
66 W Santa Clara St
The downtown location is the convenience regulars mention, and the friendly security at the door earns nearly as much credit as the counter staff. Budtenders are described as patient, happy to work within a set budget and quick with pickup orders.

752 Commercial St · 2,648 reviews · 4.7 stars
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.
