The Apothecarium was founded by three first cousins and two family friends in San Francisco in 2011. Within California, we have three dispensaries in San Francisco, one in Berkeley, and one in Capitola. The Apothecarium is also in Las Vegas and the East Coast, with three stores in Pennsylvania and one soon in New Jersey. Our dispensaries are known for emphasizing education and customer service for seniors, first-time dispensary visitors, and patients with serious medical conditions. We focus on providing our guests with in-depth, one-on-one consultations from highly trained cannabis consultants. We also provide free cannabis education events that are open to the public. Our flagship Castro dispensary was named the best-designed dispensary in the country by Architectural Digest. Our guests may order their cannabis in our dispensaries or online for pickup and delivery.The Apothecarium is also committed to giving back to the community, we have donated $335,000+ to community groups, including nonprofits, schools and community benefit districts. In addition, the SF Planning Department has praised The Apothecarium for its "community-centered approach"​ and for showing how a dispensary "can successfully blend into the community."​C10-0000523-LIC; C10-0000522-LIC; C10-0000515-LIC; C10-000738-LIC; C10-0000706-LIC
