The Pacific Coast Highway is full of distracting beaches, roadside surf shops and nice cars so if you don’t keep your eyes peeled; missing the turn for PCH Collective is more than likely. Hidden behind a substantially larger building, the steep driveway leads to both a private residence and this low key dispensary. Drive up the steep incline to the left and into one of two parking spots available outside PCH Collective.

 If you’re not one for an overwhelming number of choices, PCH Collective might be a good fit. At any given time they offer about fifteen strains for patients to choose from. Each of the available strains is displayed with one bud per viewing jar and packaged in a high quality, branded container.

The prices may catch you off guard as their minimum purchase is one eighth ounce and although the prices are high at PCH Collective, the quality is well worth it. One eighth ounce is about eighty-five dollars, so be prepared to spend some money. PCH Collective ranks among the more professional collectives as they both weigh and package their products in a back room, run inventory through a computer program and have high quality, custom printed containers. PCH Collective needs some improvement, however, in areas like customer service and helpfulness as they were not willing to answer questions about the types of medical cannabis they carried or even questions about whether they were grown indoors or outdoors. No new-patient incentives are offered at PCH Collective, however, one thing that does set it apart from the rest is the beautiful view of the Malibu Pier and local surfers.

Insider Tip: Be sure to bring your original doctor recommendation and a valid California ID or you will be turned away from PCH Collective
