How to have fun on Mid-Market
The Civic Center neighborhood is an eclectic blend of grand architecture, cultural hotspots, and dynamic public spaces. Come experience the arts, history, and vibrant community life in the heart of SF.
To call Moe Green’s just a “dispensary” is like calling Sense Cannabis’s product just “weed.” While technically correct, both are so much more. Moe Green’s is a neighborhood institution. Their top-shelf flower offerings are complimented by their top-shelf lounge amenities, styled like a speakeasy of yore so you can enjoy your high in a place of comfort and class. Sense Cannabis sets the industry standard for gas, zaza, fire—you name it, they got Louvre-worthy works of art. On 4/17, you can head to Moe Greens to witness the launch of their latest and greatest works of art.
