Find the Best Cannabis Dispensaries in Phoenix
This post is part of our Best Dispensaries in Arizona series, brought to you by Cannabist.
The Valley of the Sun is undeniably one of the hottest spots to eat, drink, and be merry. Now, thanks to the passing of the “Pot Prop” (Proposition 207) in 2020, Phoenix is also an oasis for medicinal and recreational cannabis users alike. Since its legalization, weed has exploded on the scene, prompting the advent of pot clubs, THC-infused themed restaurants, 420 festivals, marijuana parties, cannabis lounges – and much more. With the cannabis craze still blazing after four years, you can imagine there’s quite a hoopla around Phoenix dispensaries. But if you’re not a local, or not sure where to go, how do you know which dispensary in Phoenix is the best for you? We’ve been around the block, and we’re here to give you the inside scoop on the hottest spots for weed products in the Valley. Ready to rock? Let’s roll!
Cannabist
Ask any of the locals, and they’ll tell you the Cannabist in Tempe is the only way to experience the ultimate weed extravaganza. Why? It’s all about selection, price, and their fabulous budtenders. Of course, the store’s clean design and tastefully decorated space are noteworthy, making customers feel instantly at ease without all that crazy weed garishness some other dispensaries are known for. But really, the hugely knowledgeable and extremely helpful budtenders are really what Cannabist is all about. The staff is consistently friendly and patient in answering any questions you might have so you’re 100% satisfied with your purchase.
Speaking of purchases, Cannabist always has wicked-awesome deals and discounts (be sure to sign up for their loyalty program to get even more bargains!). But really, a dispensary is only as good as its product, and Cannabist has that in spades. Using only the highest standards, their marijuana is sourced responsibly, and it is only the purest, highest quality. The selection is mind-blowing too. Cannabist stocks everything you need, including edibles (we love their Exotic Yuzu gummies), topicals, pre-rolls, concentrate, live resin, drinkables (the 100mg Aloha Peach Bellini Tea is the bomb), vapes, tinctures, extracts – and of course – flower (we’re a fan of the Seed & Strain Fiji Sunset). Check their website for daily and weekly deals and plan to go – you won’t regret it.

If that isn’t enough to love, we respect Giving Tree’s risk-free guarantee which allows customers to return a product if dissatisfied and exchange it or get a store credit (if returned within 10 days). But what about the weed?

YiLo Superstore
Unlike other dispensaries in Phoenix, YiLo came on the scene a little differently. They started out making a top-notch line of edibles, and their scratch-made, cannabis-infused chocolates, brownies, and other yummies made their mark in PHX. Later, they got into crafting curated cannabis drinks, until, eventually, they gained such popularity they opened their own store. Today, they still specialize in edibles and drinkables they create themselves, and their attention to quality every step of the way is admirable. We especially approve of their 100mg Lemon Buttermilk Cake (yummo!) or their hand-crafted 400 mg Caramel Chewys. They also have CBD-infused dog treats!
