Monterey Bay Alternative Medicine
800 Portola Drive, Del Rey Oaks, 393-2500
There’s a great deal of heroism involved in going where no man or woman has gone before, and so it is that Monterey Alternative Medicine wins best dispensary—for now, it’s the county’s only true medical cannabis dispensary. In operation for more than a year at the corner of Canyon del Rey and Fremont Street, MBAM has earned a reputation for carrying an extensive product line of edibles, tinctures and creams, and for excellent service. And the place is super safe—as part of the deal it struck with the city of Del Rey Oaks for opening, the building is also occupied by a police substation. With legalization around the corner, MBAM won’t remain solo for long, but it could remain the best for Weekly readers.
