The Circle

Upon seeing the on-site grow operation that is visible through wall windows, you’ll swear you’re at an indoor farm.

INTERSECTION

Deep in Proposition 215 days, a couple of guys named Justin and Cliff banded together, knowing that the medical Cannabis era was ending and the chance to merge into the legal field would soon become a reality. The concept was to design a memorable floor plan that emulated the infamous Long Beach traffic circle right across from the shop – and this vision resulted in the creation of a circular replica of the famed intersection, now laden with tasty high-grade options called the Ring of Fire. Get it?

THE HEADY MAZE

It’s kind of like the sand meeting the ocean when you first step into these friendly environs. Because upon seeing the on-site grow operation that is visible through wall windows, you’ll swear you’re at an indoor farm. However, you’ll instead find yourself in a curved wonderland with favorably placed consumer goods—the kind that widens the eyes with excitement. Yep, this is a seed-to-sale vertical operation that’s home to two in-house brands, MJ Ultra and Hex, both available in Southern California stores. 

FEEL THE FLOW

With high-end gallery aesthetics, it’s an interactive and sociable scene for both the curious cannassuer and the fresh newcomer in mind. Simply place your order and take in the warm vibe while your friendly budtender brings you the goods and sends you home with a high five. There’s no ticket necessary for this entertaining stroll through a superbly-curated collection of goodies displayed, where class and fun intersect.

About Mike Ricker

The first time Ricker smoked weed was at a Santana concert at the age of 12. He then followed in his footsteps as an award-winning radio personality who became notorious for offering a stage for bong toking listeners in 9 different markets over 20 years. In 2016, the Cannabis industry came calling and the rest is history.
