Californians love their weed, so you might think that a city like San Diego would be the epicenter of the newfound CBD craze. But, in fact, California Public Health officials have slowed the growth of the CBD industry with heavy-handed regulations that have mainly been directed at the THC industry.
It’s still tough to find CBD-infused food and drink in San Diego, but the CBD scene is slowly picking up, and now you can pick from over a wide range of CBD dispensaries. We’ve collected our list of favorites, along with spots to get CBD-infused goodies and CBD massages.
Is CBD legal in San Diego?
The short answer: yes, any CBD product with less than 0.3% THC is legal to purchase and sell in San Diego. Now, it gets a bit more complicated when talking about CBD-infused food and drink: the FDA has formally prohibited the inclusion of CBD in food or drink.
That being said, you can still find CBD edibles and drinks at the CBD dispensaries we list below, there just aren’t a ton of restaurants or cafes offering CBD-infused food/drink yet (though just wait, it’ll come).
