Once you take that Fletcher exit off the I-5 in the Silverlake neighborhood of Los Angeles, after you pass the Arco but before you hit the Starbucks, you’ll see the unmistakable Dodger blue CATALYST sign, and you will know you’re in the right place to find great cannabis at great prices.
Although the state of California has relatively few social equity dispensaries, Catalyst Silver Lake is the third social equity fueled storefront in operation in the Catalyst lineup.
Oliver Barroso, the social equity owner of the Silver Lake store, was born and raised in LA, and after a two-year journey to get to this point, Barroso is stoked to partner with Catalyst, a company that he feels shares his values when it comes to the convergence of cannabis and community.
Much like their long list of locations across California, Catalyst Silver Lake takes great pride in providing the Los Angeles cannabis community access to affordable, high quality, and safe cannabis products. By continuing to uplift the industry by supporting social equity applicants and brands, Catalyst continues to blaze a trail for future grassroots operators to follow.

Few brand owners in the regulated market walk the walk quite like Elliott Lewis of Catalyst, a man who embodies his brand’s mission statement of “Weed for the People” every day with his outspoken advocacy and his interactions with everyone from vendors to customers to prohibitionists.
Driven by their core values of Labor, Community, Social Equity, Social Justice and Best Prices, Catalyst Silver Lake is a perfect representation of the importance of bringing equity and accessibility to the cannabis industry not only in California, but specifically to the communities across the country most impacted by the War on Drugs and the criminalization of cannabis.
