Santa Rosa dispensaries: licensed Sonoma shops (2026)

SMART trains stop at three Santa Rosa stations: Santa Rosa North at 1500 Guerneville Road, Santa Rosa Downtown at 7 4th Street in Railroad Square, and Sonoma County Airport at 1130 Airport Boulevard. The line runs south from Windsor through Santa Rosa to Larkspur, with Healdsburg and Cloverdale listed as planned stations.

At Santa Rosa North, a bus stop for Santa Rosa CityBus and Sonoma County Transit sits next to the train on Guerneville Road, about 0.6 mile in a straight line from JANE and 0.8 mile from Cannavine. From Santa Rosa Downtown, the Santa Rosa Transit Mall is less than a quarter mile east and serves CityBus, Golden Gate Transit, Sonoma County Transit and Mendocino Transit. Hourly public parking covers Railroad Square and downtown.

Flying in? The SMART Connect shuttle links the Sonoma County Airport station to the Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport (STS), which listed nonstop flights on Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Southwest Airlines and Delta Air Lines as of 23 Sep 2026. The airport says smoking is not allowed inside or within 25 feet of any Sonoma County governmental building.

Do not pack cannabis for the flight home. Screening at STS is run by Trinity Technology Group, a TSA contractor, and TSA says it refers any illegal substance it finds to law enforcement. Cannabis is still illegal under federal law, so you cannot take it across state lines. Our tourist rules guide covers the details.

Of the four shops on this page, JANE and Cannavine are the closest to SMART's Santa Rosa North station at 1500 Guerneville Road, where Santa Rosa CityBus and Sonoma County Transit stop next to the platform. Cannavine, at 1831 Guerneville Road, is about 0.8 mile west of the station in a straight line, a walk Cannavine puts at about 20 minutes. Drivers leave US-101 at the Steele Lane/Guerneville Road exit and head west about a mile and a half.

Near Coddingtown, JANE is at 2074 Armory Drive, off the Steele Lane exit behind Santa Rosa Junior College, with free parking on site. It is about 0.6 mile in a straight line from Santa Rosa North, the closest of the four to that station. Two shops are on Dutton Avenue. SPARC, at 1061 North Dutton Avenue west of downtown, is about 0.7 mile in a straight line from SMART's Santa Rosa Downtown station and 0.8 mile from Santa Rosa North. Phenotopia is about a mile south on the same road, at 443 Dutton Avenue, Suite 11, in Roseland just south of Highway 12. At about 0.5 mile from Santa Rosa Downtown it is the closest shop on this page to that station, and it has free parking and bike racks on site.

Downtown, SMART's Santa Rosa Downtown station sits at 7 4th Street in Railroad Square, less than a quarter mile from the Santa Rosa Transit Mall (CityBus, Golden Gate Transit, Sonoma County Transit and Mendocino Transit). Public parking downtown and in Railroad Square is charged by the hour. Old Courthouse Square and the transit mall are no-smoking zones. Some licensed shops with a Santa Rosa mailing address, such as Redwood Herbal Alliance at 5270 Aero Drive, fall under Sonoma County rather than city jurisdiction in DCC records (refreshed 22 Sep 2026).

We found no farm you can visit (as of 23 Sep 2026). Since 1 Jul 2026, unincorporated Sonoma County requires a Use Permit for cannabis visitor-serving activities on some agricultural and rural parcels, and we found no farm that holds one.

The county caps small visitor activities at 25 attendees (50 if guests are shuttled in) and 104 activity days a year. Activities are limited to 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and are banned in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones.

State rules still apply on top of the county permit. A licensed premises that is not open to the public is limited to employees and authorized business visitors, who must be escorted, and 4 CCR 15042(f) says: "A licensee shall not receive consideration or compensation for permitting an individual to enter the licensed premises."

Sonoma County Tourism, the county's visitor bureau, invites visitors to explore local cannabis farms, but its page names no permitted farm or activity. We found no record of any farm tour permitted under the new county rule, so this guide does not list one. In December 2022 The Press Democrat reported that selling cannabis to visitors on a farm was still forbidden under state law.

The Emerald Cup was a Santa Rosa fixture for about a decade, and we found no Santa Rosa edition after December 2022 (as of 23 Sep 2026). It began in Mendocino County in the early 2000s as an after-harvest party for Emerald Triangle growers (Press Democrat reports give 2003 and 2004) and moved to the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in 2013.

In May 2021 organizers announced that the awards show would move to Los Angeles the following March, and that a December harvest celebration would stay at the fairgrounds. Ahead of the December 2022 Harvest Ball, The Press Democrat reported that organizers expected more than 30,000 people and more than 100 cannabis vendors.

MJBizDaily reported on 3 Nov 2023, citing sources, that the 2023 Harvest Ball was canceled so organizers could focus on a 20th-anniversary event in the Bay Area. GreenState reported on 13 Aug 2024 that the 20th annual Emerald Cup was scheduled for the Henry J. Kaiser Center for the Arts in Oakland on 17-18 Aug 2024, after a 2023 edition at Richmond Pavilion.

The DCC event-organizer license held by EC Licensing LLC expired on 12 Dec 2024, and as of 23 Sep 2026 we found no active successor license or official 2026 or 2027 date. State temporary cannabis events, where on-site sales and consumption are allowed, can only be held at a county fair, a district agricultural association event or a venue a local jurisdiction approves.
