Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong are set to show up in person this Saturday for the grand opening of their first California Dispensoria, a cannabis store in Forestville that marks the comedy duo’s debut retail location in their home state. The meet-and-greet runs from 2 to 4 p.m. Pacific on October 24, 2026, and it’s free to attend with no RSVP required, handled strictly first-come, first-served.

The site lists the meet-and-greet address as 10665 River Road in Forestville, though The Press Democrat reported the store’s address as 10655 River Road — a discrepancy that remains unresolved between the two sources. Customers must also be at least 21 years old and show valid government-issued identification to get in, per the same cheechandchong.com listing.
The payoff for showing up early is tangible: the first 250 qualifying guests who present their receipt are guaranteed a limited-edition, pre-signed Cheech & Chong poster, the event page notes. It’s a close echo of how the duo handled their first Maine shop opening, where the first 250 attendees at a Portland meet-and-greet also walked away with autographed posters, according to WMTW.

There’s some conflicting information about who Cheech & Chong’s Cannabis Company is partnering with locally. The official event page describes the Sonoma County Dispensoria as operated in partnership with Yor Om Collective, calling it a local operator with deep roots in the community. The Press Democrat’s reporting, however, names the local partner as In The Tree Apothecary. Neither account resolves the discrepancy…
