Live the High Life at These Cannabis-Friendly Airbnbs in California

California Epic Stays
by Matador Creators Apr 10, 2023

Recreational cannabis use is currently legal in 21 states, but when it comes to taking a cannabis-oriented vacation, California is high up on the list. California cities dominate the list of US destinations with the most cannabis dispensaries per capita, from San Francisco, Sacramento, and San Jose up north to Los Angeles and San Diego down south. California’s largest dispensary even includes a full-on theme park.

Unless you’re local, though, there’s always the question of where travelers can enjoy the cannabis products they purchase while they’re in town. It helps if you can enjoy them in the comfort of your own rental home. That’s why we’ve rounded up a list of cannabis-friendly Airbnbs in California to help with your trip-planning.

We hope you love these cannabis-friendly Airbnbs in California! Just so you know, Matador may collect a small commission from the links on this page if you decide to book a stay. Listed prices are accurate as of the time of publication.

East Los Angeles is about 30 minutes from Hollywood, but this studio unit feels like an entertainment epicenter of its own. The highlight of the property is the projector setup in the backyard that’s ready to go for an al fresco movie night, complete with a sectional that’s more comfortable than the average movie theater seat. This is the only shared space where you might encounter the hosts, especially if you’re up early in the morning. Guests also have access to tons of games and activities, including ping pong, badminton, corn hole, disc golf, playing cards, puzzles, and board games. Best of all, the studio is not only cannabis-friendly but also comes equipped with all the essential paraphernalia, as well as a welcome joint.
