How THC City Guides Works
From state map to neighborhood-level decisions.
THC City Guides organizes legal cannabis information by state, then city, then neighborhood—with product guides and featured placements layered on top. Start broad, zoom into your area, and compare options before you buy.
THC City Guides is an informational resource. We don't process orders, handle payments, or deliver cannabis.
What happens when you use THC City Guides
The Routing Layer
Three simple levels: state, city, neighborhood.
The entire network runs on a mental model you already understand. That's what keeps the guides easy to use on your phone at 10pm when you just want to know where to order from.
Pick your state map
From the States page, choose where you live or plan to shop. Each state hub highlights cities we cover in that market.
- High-level legal context (rec / medical / mixed)
- Featured cities and metro areas
- Fast path to your neighborhood
See how your city shops
City hubs zoom one layer deeper. You see key neighborhoods, how people buy (delivery vs. storefront), and where operators cluster.
- Plain-language city cannabis patterns
- Neighborhood links that match local talk
- Tie-ins to product guides
Decide at neighborhood level
Neighborhood guides are where most decisions happen. Connect delivery zones, storefronts, and products to real parts of town.
- Neighborhood-specific context
- Delivery zone coverage explained
- Links to relevant product guides
The Product Layer
Smart product guides on top of the map.
Once you know where you are, the next question is what to buy. Our product guides live on top of the same routing engine.
Category guides that feel like coaching
We break down core categories—Flower, Pre-Rolls, Vapes, Edibles, Concentrates—using language real people understand. See what drives price, potency, and value.
- Plain-English breakdown of tradeoffs
- Beginner vs. experienced guidance
- Signals that a deal is actually a deal
Neighborhood-aware product coverage
The same category guide can look different in Arcadia vs. Old Town Scottsdale. We tune guides by location to match how people actually shop that area.
- Examples from real local patterns
- Context about delivery fees & timing
- Room for labeled partners
Who We Serve
Built for shoppers first, with space for serious operators.
Everything is designed so a regular person can make a confident decision in a few minutes. Then we layer in opportunities for licensed retailers and brands that want to show up the right way.
Shoppers & medical patients
Use THC City Guides when you're choosing where to order from, not just what strain sounds cool. Understand the lay of the land before you spend money.
- Find neighborhoods that match your comfort
- Understand delivery vs. storefront experiences
- Avoid rookie mistakes and overspending
Dispensaries, delivery & brands
If you operate legally and care about how your brand shows up, THC City Guides gives you a cleaner canvas than most directories or ad platforms.
- Labeled placements across all guide levels
- No fake reviews or pay-to-play walls
- Coverage tuned to your footprint
The Network
Expanding state by state, city by city.
Behind the scenes, THC City Guides runs on a routing engine that makes it easy to add new states, cities, neighborhoods, and product guides without breaking the experience.
Structured like a real map
Every state, city, and neighborhood page is generated to feel like a real local guide—not a thin doorway page. Consistent layouts, real copy, and clear callouts.
- Consistent state → city → neighborhood structure
- Room for niche guides (college towns, tourist zones)
- Built for desktop and mobile
Growing with data, not guesswork
As the network grows, we lean on search trends, user behavior, and partner feedback to decide which cities and neighborhoods get deeper coverage first.
- Focus on high-intent searches
- Iterative upgrades over time
- Space for long-term partners
