Best dispensaries in Philadelphia.

The best Philadelphia dispensary depends on what you need. Going without a car, try Trulieve on Arch Street. For a first visit, try a shop with a pharmacist, like Beyond Hello. For easy parking, head to the Northeast. All of them need a Pennsylvania medical card.

Common questions

Which dispensary is best in Philadelphia?

There is no single winner. We sort by what you need: location, parking, pickup, hours or a first-visit consult. We do not use star ratings, and we do not sell these spots.

How did you choose these?

Every shop is on the Pennsylvania Department of Health list, and we checked the details against the shop's own page. Here is how we pick.

Can I shop at any of these without a card?

No. Pennsylvania is medical only, so you need a Pennsylvania card. See what you need to buy.
