Seemingly straight out of a Snoop Dogg song, you can find the Eastside Long Beach location for Catalyst cannabis dispensaries in an iconic neighborhood whose populace is just as varied and beautiful as the plant herself.
Catalyst Eastside was the first official Catalyst location to open before the full re-branding from Connected to Catalyst across all of their stores.
Catalyst Eastside serves up top-shelf cannabis goods to connoisseurs in Long Beach, Compton, Signal Hill, San Pedro, Carson, South Gate, Downey, and Norwalk.
Much like its long list of locations across California, Catalyst Eastside takes great pride in providing the Los Angeles cannabis community access to affordable, high-quality, and safe cannabis products.
Surrounded by dank food options like sushi, Mexican, Thai, Cambodian, pubs, coffee shops, and more, your first decision is what kind of food you want, then you just need to decide if you eat and then go to Catalyst, or if you go to Catalyst and then eat!
As is the case with their sister-stores, Catalyst Eastside offers a huge menu of over 70 brands specializing in cannabis flower, concentrates, vape cartridges, edibles, THC products, CBD products and more. Their Catalyst first-time patient deal (FTP) is reason enough to roll through, as you can take 20% off your order on your 1st visit. Apply that discount to some Beard Bros products and you can feel good knowing you supported not one but TWO brands rooted in honesty and advocacy.
With his “Weed for the People” mantra, Catalyst CEO Elliott Lewis truly embodies his brand’s mission statement every day with his outspoken activism (also known as truth bombs) and his commitment to improving the regulated cannabis market for everyone involved.
Lewis got his start in Berkeley way back in 1996 as a legacy cultivator. This was during the very early days of California’s medical marijuana program (Prop 215, before SB 420) and retail dispensaries weren’t even really a concept yet.
“I was one of the first patients at Berkeley Patients Group in 1999, and it was a really cool spot to hang out between then and 2001 when I graduated.” said Lewis.
Little did he know at the time how much things would come full circle almost twenty years later.
After spending roughly a decade traveling and then working in real estate, he got back into cultivation in early 2013, running four outdoor farms up north and three indoor spots in SoCal.From 2016 to 2020, he was part of a group that owned and operated four Connected retail shops under a brand agreement. In June 2020 they decided to go their separate ways…and Catalyst was born.
With 25 locations across California, and no sign of slowing down anytime soon, those seeking the good stuff just need to pull up to a Catalyst cannabis dispensary and tell them that the Beard Bros sent ya!
