How old do I have to be to visit The Artist Tree Dispensary?

All visitors who wish to view our products must be 21 or older for adult use sales or 18 or older with valid medical marijuana identification card (MMIC) or doctor’s recommendation. We verify photo identification and medical status at the door.

Only adults of legal age are allowed to enter a store that sells recreational cannabis in California. This means that you must be able to prove that you’re 21 years old or older or 18 with valid medical documentation, so bring your identification card or driver’s license. Without a valid ID, you won’t be allowed to go enter our cannabis stores or buy anything on the shelves. Being 21 doesn’t mean that you can smoke weed anywhere in the county. California state laws limit marijuana usage to private residences, and some apartment buildings may also be smoke- and vape-free as part of your lease terms. Sadly, that also means that you’re not allowed to smoke while strolling through a park or down the open hiking trails near you. While this might be a little inconvenient, we all have to do our part for fire safety, and there are good reasons for these restrictions to be in place. And, let’s not forget, there’s always cannabis edibles.

You’re legally not allowed to be inside a marijuana dispensary in California unless you are at least 21 years of age and able to produce a valid ID. However, there are exceptions. If you’re at least 18 years old, you can still visit our locations and buy cannabis as long as you can show a medical recommendation or MMIC. Young adults who suffer from health conditions that require symptom relief or athletes who need CBD-based products to aid their post-workout recovery can legally buy the cannabis that fits their needs and lifestyles.

Security within a dispensary is a very serious matter, so the moment you enter a cannabis store you will be asked to show a valid form of photo identification. If you don’t have an ID, you will be asked to leave. That being said, satisfying the ID requirement for entering a weed shop isn’t too difficult if you’re of legal age. If you’re from the US, we accept various forms of government issued identification, including drivers licenses and military identification cards. If you’re traveling from another country, we also accept passports.
