There’s nothing ordinary about The Woods WeHo. Tucked into the heart of West Hollywood, this trailblazing consumption lounge and dispensary is part garden escape, part Hollywood story, and all cannabis culture. Since its grand opening,
The Woods has become one of the most talked-about cannabis destinations in California, blending celebrity flair with legacy farmer roots and West Coast sophistication.
But don’t get it twisted—this isn’t some gimmicky tourist trap with overpriced weed and underwhelming vibes. The Woods WeHo is the real deal, and it’s leading the way on how high-end cannabis experiences should be done.
Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or a canna-curious first-timer, this place delivers something rare in today’s industry: authenticity with style.
More Than a Lounge—It’s a Movement
At first glance, The Woods is eye candy. We’re talking lush tropical plants, trickling koi ponds, and the kind of architectural design that makes you want to throw your phone on portrait mode and start shooting. But behind the curated beauty lies something deeper: a true commitment to clean, sun-grown cannabis, legacy values, and creating safe, enjoyable spaces for consumers to explore the plant.
The lounge, affectionately dubbed the “Ganja Garden,” offers an indoor/outdoor sanctuary where guests can legally consume cannabis in peace. Forget smoking on the sidewalk or hitting a vape pen in a hotel room—The Woods gives you the freedom to light up or dab down in a setting that’s equal parts elegant and chill.
The Woods WeHo dispensary is equally dialed. Their shelves are stocked with some of California’s finest brands, with a strong emphasis on outdoor and sustainably grown flower—a nod to Northern California’s Emerald Triangle roots. In a market oversaturated with flashy packaging and indoor monocrops, The Woods makes it clear: they care about where the weed comes from.
Celebrity Ownership With a Cause
You can’t talk about The Woods without acknowledging its headline-grabbing ownership. Yes, this West Hollywood gem was co-founded by none other than Woody Harrelson—the beloved actor, environmental activist, and longtime cannabis advocate. He’s joined by a powerhouse crew that includes comedian and political commentator Bill Maher and John McEnroe.
But don’t let the celebrity sparkle fool you—these aren’t just names on a lease. Harrelson and crew are passionate about pushing the cannabis industry in the right direction. Woody’s decades-long advocacy for legalization and sustainability isn’t just lip service; it’s baked into the business model.
In interviews, Harrelson has been vocal about his dream of creating a space that not only celebrates cannabis but normalizes its use in a way that elevates the entire culture. The Woods is his love letter to the plant—one that brings legacy ethics, eco-conscious practices, and community connection to the forefront.
Even Bill Maher, known for his unfiltered takes on politics and pop culture, has positioned The Woods as a symbol of progress. It’s more than a place to get high—it’s a gathering ground for people who want to be part of a new cannabis era.
High-End, High-Vibe, and Highly Intentional
What sets The Woods apart isn’t just the A-list names or the luxurious design—it’s the intentionality behind every choice. From the curated menu to the composting toilets, everything is done with purpose. The venue itself is built to LEED standards and features eco-conscious materials, reflecting the owners’ commitment to sustainable living.
The consumption lounge offers table service with cannabis sommeliers who are trained to help guests navigate the menu and find the right products for their needs—whether it’s a light edible to ease anxiety or a potent concentrate to spark creativity. Private cabanas, artisan beverages, and an air of unpretentious luxury make it feel like a five-star resort for weed lovers.
And let’s talk events. The Woods WeHo is also a cultural hub, regularly hosting pop-ups, educational talks, and brand activations that highlight California’s vibrant cannabis scene. It’s the kind of place where you might see a legacy grower from Humboldt rubbing elbows with a TikTok influencer, all sharing a joint under the palms.
Legacy Meets Lifestyle
At Beard Bros, we’ve seen a lot of lounges come and go—especially in Los Angeles. Too many are built for hype, not for heart. But The Woods WeHo checks all the boxes. It honors the plant, the culture, the environment, and the consumer in one cohesive, beautifully executed experience.
This place is proof that celebrity-backed cannabis ventures can have substance, not just style. When you combine real advocacy with deep industry roots and visionary design, you get something like The Woods—a beacon for what legal cannabis consumption should look like.
If you’re in Los Angeles—or planning a trip—The Woods WeHo is a must-see destination. Whether you’re there to unwind in the Ganja Garden, pick up top-shelf flower, or just soak in the vibes, you’ll leave inspired by what cannabis culture can be when it’s done right.
