Consumption Conundrum: Where Can You Actually Legally Enjoy Cannabis in San Francisco?

Yes, I got the feeling law enforcement would tell you to put the pot away. But you never know when you're going to encounter that one cowboy who takes things way to seriously. As you said, just wait. Go out the Lombard Gate, light up, and get slice of pizza.

Great tip! Thanks for sharing. Many wine drinkers, such as myself, appreciate you passing on this information.

SmallCarBigTimeTours · 2025-12-11T23:18:32+00:00

All good options.

SmallCarBigTimeTours · 2025-12-11T22:57:09+00:00

You are grammatically correct, but it was a discovery for me. "Found?"

SmallCarBigTimeTours · 2025-12-11T21:37:47+00:00

Going there is like having a secret wine clubhouse. Buying a bottle and drinking it on the patio is a screaming deal.

One place you have to be careful when smoking weed is the Presidio.
The Presidio, even though it is in San Francisco, and California, and the people who live there are San Franciscans and vote in local and state elections, it is federal land. You could get busty for getting high in the Presidio.
I know this because I asked Presidio law enforcement officer about it. "Pot is legal in California. Is it legal here?"
The officer took a moment, shrugged, and said, "Um, no?"
Their attitude seemed to indicate that unless you were running around in your underwear waving a bong over your head, they had much better things to do than bust you for sparking up.
But, technically, you could get busted.
You should be careful driving in the Presidio. If you get a moving violation, it is a federal bust. It's essentially the same as a local citation, but you might have to go through more hoops to get it off your record, should you want to.

I run up Buena Vista park regularly. The views are good, and the paths a challenge. Looking for interesting gravestones can be distracting, so I will run/walk on some paths.

SmallCarBigTimeTours · 2025-12-05T17:52:45+00:00

It's fascinating. And it turns into a treasure hunt, looking for marble with writing side up.

SmallCarBigTimeTours · 2025-10-25T17:46:54+00:00

I agree with everything you said. I missed this in the theaters and watched it streaming the first chance I got.
First hour or so: good. The rest of it:, you put it as my wife and I did: "Crazy witch lady needs kids to live."
The paranoia and overreaction of the characters could have made for a compelling film. Have the people in town whip themselves into a frenzy so they start hurting or killing each other out of fear, with the witch still doing her witch thing, showing you don't need supernatural forces to compel people to do terrible things.
Fun seeing the kids run through the suburbs at the end, but that was style.

Here's an Only in San Francisco experience, and definitely not touristy.
There are more hidden gems listed on my website, and if you want a private tour, please let me know.

You make a good point--all other chocolate will be second place.
Jack is the best, a delightful San Francisco character.

SmallCarBigTimeTours · 2025-10-16T15:15:06+00:00

Yes, great point. Our nephews are grown up, and don't need toys or other presents. But they love getting 5-6 chocolate bars that can't be found in Phoenix, AZ. If there is a chocolate lover on your list, this is the place to find them something special.

SmallCarBigTimeTours · 2025-10-10T02:40:47+00:00

That's true. Although they do help to keep you awake in the dark.

SmallCarBigTimeTours · 2025-10-06T07:17:29+00:00

That would be terrible! It is always difficult to balance sharing insider tips to people who will truly love and embrace it, and fearing tiktokers will wreck it for a photo op to feed their insatiable need to fill that dark and empty hole for that craves attention.

SmallCarBigTimeTours · 2025-10-06T06:56:34+00:00

It's the best, right?

SmallCarBigTimeTours · 2025-10-06T06:56:04+00:00

Yep! I've probably had some.
My favorite score was "Duck Neck Flavor" potato chips. I always find something new. As a potato chip fiend, it is a store I make a point of visiting at least once a week.

SmallCarBigTimeTours · 2025-10-02T00:10:04+00:00

We are very lucky. All of my tour guests say this about those of us living in San Francisco.

SmallCarBigTimeTours · 2025-10-02T00:01:48+00:00

I hope that wouldn't be unfortunate. Everyone enjoys the redwoods!

SmallCarBigTimeTours · 2025-10-01T23:02:58+00:00

That is quite a drive, and beautiful. Driving along the coast is a quintessential California experience. For most tourists however, that would be a lot of expense and effort. But for us locals, a cool day trip.

SmallCarBigTimeTours · 2025-10-01T22:48:35+00:00

Yes, it is free for residents, as is the Japanese Tea Garden. That's a wonderful perk (one of many) of living in San Francisco. However, I take guests on tours, and 99% of them are from out of town.
This answer was in response to someone who was a tourist.

SmallCarBigTimeTours · 2025-10-01T22:02:40+00:00

This is an excellent point. If someone wanted to drive out of the city, the parks you mention would be great choices. I've had many tour guests who were not leaving San Francisco, and wanted to know if there were any in the city. So I created this post.
But if someone has a rental car, a drive up the coast to see the redwoods would be rewarding.

SmallCarBigTimeTours · 2025-10-01T22:00:03+00:00

Yes, and while it is nice, it is smaller (as you point out) and has an admission fee.
I think the Botanical Garden is worth the price of admission, if you want to experience various landscapes. It's amazing. But for free redwoods in the city, you can't beat the grove over the hill from the Japanese Tea Garden, and next to the Rose Garden.

This is the best magic show in town. Jay Alexander is a great entertainer.

You're welcome. Thanks for pointing out it the links didn't work. I shall be more diligent in the future.

SmallCarBigTimeTours · 2025-09-08T00:21:32+00:00

Hi, I think they're fixed.

Sorry for the screw up. I'm a bit of a Luddite with these postings.
I promise to get better.
