What Plughaus is
Plughaus lists licensed cannabis shops in California: storefronts and delivery-only services. Each shop has its own page with where it is, what kind of shop it is and answers to common questions. You can search by name, city or ZIP, sort by distance from where you are, or browse by county and town.
Rank cannot be bought. Paying changes what a shop can show, never where it appears.
How ranking worksWhere the data comes from
The shop list comes from the California Department of Cannabis Control license register, a public record of every cannabis license in the state. Licensed shops only: a shop appears on Plughaus only while its retail license is active.
Other details, such as a website or a short description, come from public information about the shop. Pages that Plughaus wrote say so. Once an owner claims a page, what the owner enters replaces what Plughaus wrote.
How often it updates
Every month. Each refresh reads the state license register again. New licensed shops get pages. Shops whose licenses are no longer active drop off.
