Green Qween Weed Dispensary Los Angeles is LA’s first queer-owned cannabis dispensary hub, founded in 2022 by Andrés Rigal and Taylor Bazley with a mission to build queer power through cannabis, social impact, and high style. Operating two locations in Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA) and West Hollywood, Green Qween has established itself as one of the most distinctive and community-driven dispensaries in the city, combining a boutique retail experience with a deep commitment to LGBTQ+ representation and economic equity in the cannabis industry.
About Green Qween Dispensary
Green Qween was founded to create an inclusive cannabis space that LGBTQ+ communities and allies had never seen before, drawing direct inspiration from the queer activists who built the first medical dispensaries during the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s and 90s.
The dispensary operates under the philosophy of “pass joints, not judgment,” treating every customer as a human being rather than a transaction. Unlike conventional retail cannabis shops, Green Qween invites customers to touch, see, and smell products before buying, with an interactive flower display at the center of the DTLA store. Budtenders at both locations are trained to guide customers based on goals such as stress relief, better sleep, pain management, or social enjoyment rather than simply pushing products.
A portion of proceeds from every sale supports local queer-led nonprofits advancing LGBTQ+ racial, social, and gender justice. Green Qween also spotlights LGBTQ+-owned cannabis brands on its shelves to create economic opportunity for queer-led small businesses, making it a destination that functions as both a retail shop and a vehicle for community investment.
Locations and Hours
Green Qween operates two Los Angeles locations: a flagship store in Downtown LA and a second location in West Hollywood, both open seven days a week.
| Location | Address | Phone | Hours |

The DTLA location sits in the heart of South Park, steps from Crypto.com Arena, the Los Angeles Convention Center, The Mayan Theater, and The Orpheum. Free parking is available in a lot behind the store accessed through the alley. The West Hollywood location on N. San Vicente Blvd serves the WeHo community. Both stores are accessible and ATM-equipped, and serve medical and recreational cannabis customers. No medical card is required for customers 21 and older with a valid ID.
Cannabis Products
Green Qween carries a large, curated selection of cannabis flower, edibles, vapes, pre-rolls, concentrates, CBD products, and LGBTQ+-owned brand offerings across both Los Angeles locations.
Flower is displayed interactively at the DTLA store, allowing customers to inspect bud structure and aroma before purchase, a feature reviewers consistently highlight as rare among Los Angeles dispensaries. The selection covers indicas, sativas, and hybrids at various price points, sourced from California cultivators including Stone Road Farms.
Product Categories
- Cannabis Flower: Indicas, sativas, hybrids; interactive open-jar display at DTLA; half-ounce and ounce deals available
- Edibles: Gummies, chocolates, cookies, mints, and cannabis-infused drinks; micro and macro dose options
- Vape Pens: Cartridges, disposables, and pods from premium California brands
- Pre-Rolls: Singles and infused pre-roll options across multiple strains
- Concentrates and Extracts: Wax, shatter, live resin, and other high-potency extracts
- CBD Products: Tinctures, balms, and capsules for wellness-focused customers
- LGBTQ+ Brands: A curated section spotlighting queer-owned cannabis companies
According to the California Department of Cannabis Control, all licensed dispensaries in the state are required to sell only laboratory-tested cannabis products that meet standards for cannabinoid content, pesticides, and microbial safety. Green Qween’s sourcing process aligns with these requirements, and all products carry required testing documentation.

Experience and Community
Green Qween’s DTLA store is designed as a sensory-forward, boutique-style cannabis marketplace where customers can browse freely and are never pressured, guided instead by budtenders who match products to individual goals.
The signature disco ball at the DTLA location has become a cultural landmark in the local cannabis community, referenced in dozens of customer reviews as emblematic of the store’s energy. Staff members including Giselle, Cori, Zen, Sandy, Dominique, and Alex are named repeatedly in reviews for exceptional product knowledge and personalized care. Customers report that budtenders take time to understand needs before recommending products, a service model consistent with the dispensary’s stated goal of treating every visitor as a human, not a sale.
Green Qween actively hosts community events and uses its platform to support queer-led organizations in Los Angeles. According to research from the Williams Institute at UCLA, LGBTQ+ individuals disproportionately use cannabis for anxiety, depression, and pain management, making inclusive, knowledgeable dispensary environments particularly meaningful for this community. Green Qween’s business model directly addresses that need by pairing clinical product knowledge with affirming customer service.
