Answers
Do I have to be a patient to enter your dispensary?
Yes, you must possess a valid medical cannabis recommendation and California State ID. *Note* First time patients should visit during their physician's operating hours as we need to verify all recommendations.

Come on in. All patients become members upon visiting APC.
What other products do you carry?

What is the difference between Indica and Sativa?
Indica plants have a higher CBD (Cannabinoid) content to THC ratio. It induces a more relaxed mood. This is a treatment for anxiety, pain, and tremors, amongst other applications. Indica is most commonly used to induce appetite. Sativa plants have less chlorophyll than its counterpart, Indica. It has a higher THC content to CBD Ratio. Sativa offers a much more energetic effect, and is most commonly used to alleviate depression.
What is Prop 215?
Prop 215 is a measure voted into law in California in 1996. Also known as the Compassion Act, the proposition allows medical patients to choose and use cannabis as a legal treatment option. For more information about Prop 215, please visit www.americanmarijuana.org, and find the Proposition 215 Information page.
