Honest answer: the Haight has options closer.
The Haight is one of the best-served cannabis neighborhoods in San Francisco. The Apothecarium has a Haight Street location that lives up to its reputation. Vapor Room and Reefer's Den have served the corridor for years. If you live or work strictly between Stanyan and Divisadero, your closest licensed shop is a five-minute walk. We are not pretending to be that shop.
Here is when our regulars from the Haight make the twenty-minute trip across town. You want STIIIZY 1/4oz on B2G1, every day, every flavor. The Haight shops carry STIIIZY but rotate the daily promotion or run smaller selections. We run B2G1 every day on every flavor in stock. You are heading to the Marina or Wharf for dinner anyway. The drive across town via Geary or Lombard puts you within five blocks of our door. You want a deeper indoor flower selection than the Haight typically stocks. 60+ California brands and 250+ products on sale every day, including Fig Farms, Khalifa Kush, and Presidential strains the Haight shops do not always carry.
What you save on a single B2G1 STIIIZY visit covers a Lyft both ways. Three pods at $70 effective vs $105 to $120 anywhere else in town. The trip pays for itself the first time. After that, regulars come up because the budtenders remember them.

Four ways from the Haight to 899 Columbus Ave.
Routes are written for the most common Haight Ashbury, Cole Valley, and Upper Haight starting points. All drop you within a five-minute walk of the front door.
Lyft or Uber via Divisadero
From Haight & Ashbury, set the destination to 899 Columbus Ave. Drivers usually go up Divisadero or Masonic to Lombard, then right on Lombard, left on Mason. Mason takes you straight into the heart of North Beach. Fifteen minutes door to door outside rush hour. The drive crosses Pacific Heights and the Marina, scenic the entire way.
Across town via Geary or Lombard
From the Haight, take Divisadero or Masonic north to Geary or Lombard. Geary is faster during the day, Lombard is the scenic Marina drive in the evening. Either crosses Van Ness, Polk, and Hyde before reaching North Beach. Park on Mason between Greenwich and Lombard. Two-hour metered parking is free after 6 PM.
33 Ashbury then 30 Stockton
Catch the 33 Ashbury inbound at Haight & Ashbury. Stay on through the Western Addition and exit at Sutter & Powell. Walk one block east to Stockton, transfer to the 30 Stockton inbound. The 30 takes you through Chinatown and into North Beach, exit at Columbus & Greenwich. The longest of the routes but cheap, scenic, and entirely covered by a single $3 fare.
The Wiggle to Polk to Columbus
Take The Wiggle from the Panhandle through the flatter blocks of the Western Addition. Pick up Polk Street going north. Polk runs through Polk Gulch and Russian Hill with bike lanes most of the way. At Lombard, jog one block east to Columbus and you are two blocks south of our door. Bay Wheels stations at Haight & Stanyan and Mason & Greenwich.
