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.
18 licensed shops open in Santa Ana right now, ranked on a star rating weighted by how many people actually left one. South Coast Safe Access Cannabis D 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.
1900 Warner Ave Unit A
Regulars point to the OG collection and staff who take time with first-time shoppers, one of whom got a first-time buyer discount. Budtenders are also credited with steering customers to the best value for their money. Cards are not accepted, so bring cash.
Open

Open

Open
1625 E St Gertrude Pl
Most reviews are really about delivery: fast, accurate drop-offs and drivers who go out of their way, including one who carried a heavy order into a customer's kitchen. In store, a longtime regular says the same staff have been there for years and know their tastes.

2106 S Susan St · 1,479 reviews · 4.8 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.
