The Haight & Hayes Valley
The reception area looks more like a doctor's office than a Haight hippie den, because Sparc has been a medical marijuana pioneer since 1998 – and to be sure you're not ingesting toxic chemicals, they grow house-label cannabis biodynamically and source pesticide-free Farm Direct bud. To make SF hosts happy, the Coppola 'Growers Series' sampler comes in a wine-bottle-shaped gift box.
Ages 18+ only; show ID.
