How FlwrDirect works

Search like you talk

FlwrDirect is a free cannabis marketplace for Southern California. You can look for deals, products and dispensaries by typing what you want in plain English. You do not have to start with a brand directory or choose every filter before you search. Start with the words you would use when asking for a product, a location or a deal.

Try “cheap Kiva gummies near Irvine open now,” “best 1/8th deals under $30 in Long Beach” or “vape deals in San Diego.” These are search examples, not offers or promises about what is available. FlwrDirect turns your words into a search across listings. Adding a city, category or budget can make your request more specific. You can also choose a region and review the products and dispensaries that appear alongside deals.

How results are ranked

Only by relevance to your search, distance, deal value, rating and freshness. No brand or dispensary can pay for, or be given, a hidden boost.

That applies to every brand and dispensary, including brands operated by people behind FlwrDirect. There is no paid placement and no pay-to-rank. A listing does not get a better position because its owner pays, because of an ownership connection or because of a private arrangement. The same ranking factors apply across the marketplace.

You can change your search when you want a different comparison. A request for a particular category, a nearby city or a price range tells FlwrDirect what you are looking for. Read the deal details and the store listing before deciding where to go. Deals marked “Sample deal” are examples, not a confirmed promotion from that dispensary.

Reserving and paying

You can reserve for pickup where a dispensary has claimed its listing. Unclaimed listings can't take reservations. A dispensary must verify its DCC license before it can publish deals or accept pickup reservations. If a listing is unclaimed, you can still read its page, but do not treat a sample deal as an offer from the store.

FlwrDirect does not sell cannabis or take payment for your purchase. You reserve or just show up, then pay in store with a valid ID. Check the dispensary's hours and deal conditions before visiting. For questions about a product, a promotion or pickup, the dispensary is the place to confirm the details.

Who can use it

Shopping is for adults 21+ in California with a valid ID. Medical patients 18+ with a valid physician's recommendation can shop at medical dispensaries. Check that the dispensary serves medical customers if that is how you intend to shop.

FlwrDirect is free for shoppers and free for licensed dispensaries. There are no listing fees and no middleman. If you run a licensed store in Southern California, you can claim your listing, verify your license and post your own deals and products. For dispensaries explains the process, and the FAQ covers common questions.
