Know where to go in LA.
The local's guide to stoner life in Los Angeles. Where to light up, where to eat after, and what to do with the rest of the night.
Where to smokeStoner LA is a local's guide to living well as a stoner in Los Angeles. Where you can actually light up, where to eat when the munchies hit, which old movie houses still run real film, and what to see when you want to get out of the house.
Short version on smoking: adults 21 and up can buy and carry it, home base is the easy move, and the lounges where you can pick up and spark up in the same spot are mostly in West Hollywood. The full rundown lives on where to smoke in LA, and the rules in plain English are on first time in LA.
After that it's all about the city. Start with a neighborhood, find something to see or watch, and finish with something good to eat.
Neighborhoods
Eight neighborhoods, eight different vibes. Pick one and go.

Downtown LA
The oldest food hall in the city, free world-class art, a 298-foot railway and ramen till late. DTLA is a great place to be high on foot.

Koreatown
The densest neighborhood in LA, and maybe the best place in the city to be hungry at 1am. Bring friends. Bring an appetite.

The Valley
Flatter, hotter and way more chill than the city side of the hill. Good food, long boulevards and nobody in a hurry.
