If you’re under 21, you need a medical marijuana recommendation. When you come to see us for the first time as a medical patient, we need to see your California ID (or your current photo ID and proof of CA residency) and your original medical marijuana recommendation with your doctor’s signature. If you have an MMIC, please bring that with you as well. Please note: All patients and customers must be checked in by 9 PM. We want to make sure you have time to see everything we have to offer and ask any questions you may have, but we do have to check in customers and patients before 9 PM. Please arrive with enough time to get signed up with us!

Abide is a licensed medical and recreational cannabis dispensary, which means we must comply with all state and local laws. This includes verifying that anyone who enters the budroom is either 21 years of age or is a legal MMJ patient. We do this by checking that every person has a valid photo ID and a valid MMJ recommendation if they are a medical patient. If you were to be stopped on your way home from visiting Abide and you had product but no proof of being an MMJ patient or of legal age to purchase recreational cannabis, you might get in trouble.

Official San Francisco/ Oakland/ Sacramento Airport cannabis policy: “As of January 1, 2018, California law allows for individuals 21 years of age or older to possess up to 28.5 grams of marijuana and 8 grams of concentrated marijuana for personal consumption. With the change in state law, the policy and procedures of the San Francisco/ Oakland/ Sacramento Airport Police Division (APD) regarding marijuana were updated to reflect this change. APD officers, who are California Peace Officers, have no jurisdiction to arrest individuals if they are complying with state law. However, airport guests should be aware that Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screening stations are under federal jurisdiction. Also, passengers should be aware that marijuana laws vary state by state and they are encouraged to check the laws of the states in which they plan to travel. You may not, however, fly with marijuana plants. Throughout the state of California, the transportation, cultivation, possession and use of medical marijuana is legal.

We have a variety of different accessories to assist with your intake of your preferred cannabis medications. You can use rolling papers, pipe, water pipe/bong, vape pen or consume an edible. We also offer cannabis products in pill form and topicals that can be administered to the skin like a lotion to activate cannabis’ medical properties.

Although cannabis is now legal in California, it is not legal to consume in public places or to drive while under the influence. You should consume in a private location, such as your home, or a friend’s home or hotel.

Starting your cannabis journey depends on each individual’s prior experiences. Find your comfort zone. Are you comfortable medicating with pre-rolls, edibles, extracts, tinctures, vape pens or flowers? These are good starting points, although some people are not comfortable with the idea of smoking or vaping. Edibles and tinctures are a good starting place for first-time cannabis users that prefer not to smoke. Tinctures and edibles are precisely measured out per unit and are much easier to track your THC and CBD intake levels. When you are intaking tinctures and edibles make sure you allow at least one hour to pass before taking another dose. Always start with a small amount if you are a beginner. We suggest microdosing. Microdosing is taking a very small amount of something to measure the benefit of its physiological action while minimizing undesirable side effects. For example, 2–5mg would be considered a small micro dose of cannabis. Once you are familiar with this amount you can then increase your dose if needed to achieve your desired effect. You can also use different strains to explore the various effects cannabis provides. Indica, sativa, and hybrid have different effects and they are each uniquely used to medicate a variety of needs.
