The Costa Mesa planning commission approved Tustin-based Culture Cannabis Club and Costa Mesa-based Vertical Four to be the city’s first cannabis retail dispensaries.
The Culture Cannabis Club store will be stationed at 2301 Newport Boulevard, while the Vertical Four shop will set up shop at 1990 Harbor Boulevard.
Santa Ana, the only other Orange County city to allow cannabis retail shops, has 27 dispensaries. The city has received over $30 million from cannabis sales taxes since it approved cannabis shops for operation in 2017.
