From experienced cannabis users to absolute beginners— we want you to feel at home at the Farmacy Berkeley dispensary. Our team of cannabis experts will offer comprehensive education on various cannabis products, proper dosing, and safe-use tips. Our understanding of medical and recreational use, as well as the brands and products that line our shelves, allows our team to help you tailor the perfect experience for you. Our community classes and product demos will provide additional information on the therapeutic benefits of cannabis and THC, together with consumption coaching.

Here are some of our favorite Berkeley highlights for you to check out after visiting our shop.

WHAT IS THE AGE LIMIT FOR WEED IN BERKELEY?

The Farmacy Berkeley is an adult-use cannabis retail store. This means anyone with a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, state ID, or passport, proving they’re at least 21 years of age can purchase products here.

However, a patient who is under 21 but at least 18 years old may enter and purchase cannabis if they have a state medical card or verified medical recommendation. First-time medical customers must bring a paper copy of their medical recommendation. No screenshots please!

HOW CAN I PAY FOR FARMACY BERKELEY WEED?

Farmacy Berkeley accepts cash payments, debit transactions, and cashless prepay powered by Jane Pay. Debit transactions will be accompanied by a $3.00 transaction fee. Some banks may charge their cardholders an additional fee in accordance with their own policies.

Unfortunately, due to federal regulations, we cannot accept credit cards. We hope this will change in the next few years.

HOW MUCH WILL I PAY IN TAXES WHEN I BUY CANNABIS AT THE FARMACY BERKELEY?

When we talk about taxes on cannabis sales, there are three different types:

Cannabis State Excise Tax – The cannabis state excise tax is imposed upon purchase of all cannabis and cannabis products at a rate of 19% of the Taxable Excise Total *see below for formula. Retailers are responsible for collecting the cannabis excise tax from purchasers at the time of the retail sale and pay the cannabis excise tax to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA).

City Tax – Berkeley does not have a city tax on cannabis.

Sales Tax – Nearly all products in California are subject to a general sales tax, and cannabis is no exception. While the excise tax is the same no matter where you buy, the sales tax varies depending on your city or county. MMIC holders are exempt from sales tax on medical products. Per the CDTFA, sales tax is calculated after delivery fees (if applicable), local city tax and 15% cannabis state excise tax has been added to your purchase.

Farmacy Berkeley’s Tax Formula:

• Purchase Total + Delivery Fees (if applicable) = Taxable Excise Total
• Taxable Excise Total + 19% Cannabis State Excise Tax= Subtotal
• Subtotal + 10.25% Sales Tax = FINAL COST
