Dispensary Near Russian Hill, San Francisco

Gemme Verdi at 899 Columbus Ave is the nearest dispensary to Russian Hill. We’re a 10-minute walk downhill from Lombard Street, right where Russian Hill meets North Beach. That puts us closer than dispensaries on Polk Street, in the Marina, or down in the Haight — no Uber needed.

From the top of Lombard Street at Hyde, walk downhill on Hyde toward the bay and turn right onto Columbus Ave. We’re at 899 Columbus — look for the green awning. The whole walk is about 10 minutes and completely downhill. You can also take the Powell-Mason cable car to Columbus & Chestnut, which drops you one block from our door.

Yes — California is a recreational-use state, so anyone 21 or older with a valid government-issued ID can walk in and buy cannabis. No medical card, no California residency, no pre-registration. We welcome visitors from all 50 states and international travelers. Just bring your passport or driver’s license.

You’ll show your ID at the door, then browse the shop floor or ask a budtender for help. There’s no pressure and no rush — a lot of our customers are first-time buyers, especially tourists coming from Russian Hill and Fisherman’s Wharf. Our staff will walk you through product types, dosages, and what works best for what you have planned. You can also preview our full menu online before you visit.

For visitors, we usually recommend edibles and discreet vape pens. Edibles like Kiva and Camino gummies are easy to dose, portable, and don’t produce any smoke or smell — great if your hotel doesn’t allow smoking. Vape pens from brands like Stiiizy and Raw Garden are pocket-sized and nearly odorless. Our budtenders can match you with the right product and strength based on your experience level.

Public consumption isn’t allowed in San Francisco — that includes sidewalks, parks, beaches, and most hotel common areas. Your safest bet is a private residence or a hotel room that permits it (call ahead to check). That’s another reason edibles and low-profile vape pens are so popular with visitors — they’re easy to enjoy without drawing attention.

We stock California’s most trusted names including Stiiizy, Jeeter, CBX, Raw Garden, Camino, Kiva, Cold Fire, 710 Labs, and Fig Farms, plus rotating selections from local growers. Whether you’re looking for flower, pre-rolls, vapes, edibles, or concentrates, you’ll find options at every price point. Check our live menu to see what’s in stock right now.

Yes — we run daily deals on popular brands and product categories. Deals change regularly, so the best way to see today’s specials is to visit our menu page or ask our budtenders when you stop in. We also offer 20% off for medical patients, local businesses, and birthdays, plus 10% off for veterans and students.

Yes! Order online and choose curbside pickup. Pull up to 899 Columbus Ave, flash your hazards, and we’ll bring your order to your car. It’s the fastest option if you’re driving through North Beach and don’t want to deal with Russian Hill parking.

We’re open 7 days a week, 11 AM – 8 PM. We are a cash-only dispensary, but there’s an ATM on-site for your convenience. Quick tip for tourists: most dispensaries in San Francisco are cash-only due to federal banking rules, so it’s a good idea to grab some cash before your visit.
