As one of the cities where the cannabis movement sprouted (pun intended,) San Francisco is filled with restaurants welcoming to cannabis users. That doesn’t mean, in most cases, you can partake on premises, but it does mean you won’t get harassed for carrying cannabis, smelling like cannabis or stepping outside to partake at any of these 420 friendly restaurants San Francisco offers. If you’re lucky, though, here or there, you may even find a CBD-infused item on the menu.
Here’s a comprehensive list of restaurants where cannabis users can dine easy and feel at home.
