LA Neighborhoods
Stoner guides to eight LA neighborhoods: what to do, where to eat and where to smoke in each one.
LA is not one city, it's a few dozen of them stitched together by freeways. Where you post up changes everything: what you eat, what you see, and where you can actually smoke.
Each guide below covers the vibe, a little history, what to do, where to eat and where to smoke when you're in the area. Heads up: most of these neighborhoods are part of the City of Los Angeles, which still has no consumption lounges. West Hollywood is the exception, and it's where most of the lounges are. The full rundown is on where to smoke.
Beach day? Start with Venice or Santa Monica. Eastside afternoon? Silver Lake and Echo Park sit right next to each other. Big night out with serious munchies? Koreatown doesn't close.

Venice
Skaters, bodybuilders, drum circles and canals dug for a fake Italian resort. Here's how to do Venice right, and where the sesh actually happens.

Santa Monica
Its own city, its own rules, and the most postcard-ready pier in LA. Here's how to spend a day here and where the sesh fits in.

West Hollywood
The easiest place in LA to walk into a lounge, buy some flower and smoke it right there. Plus the Sunset Strip.

Silver Lake
Hills, hidden staircases, a reservoir loop and some of the best food on the Eastside. Here's how to spend a lazy day here.
Explore Silver Lake → -
Echo Park
A lake with swan boats, a ballpark on the hill and a Sunset Blvd strip that stays loud after dark. Here's how to do it without wasting your high.
Explore Echo Park → -
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.
Explore Koreatown → -
The Valley
Flatter, hotter and way more chill than the city side of the hill. Good food, long boulevards and nobody in a hurry.
