About Us: Elevating the Standard of California Cannabis
818 Brands was born in the heart of Southern California, built on a foundation of legacy cultivation, consistency, and a deep-rooted connection to community. With over 15 years of hands-on experience in indoor cannabis cultivation, we’ve evolved into one of California’s most respected cannabis producers, offering premium, clean, and consistent flower that speaks for itself.

What We Do
At 818 Brands, we specialize in indoor flower cultivation backed by a vertically integrated model. Our team oversees the entire process — from genetics to harvest to packaging — to ensure that quality is never outsourced. With more than 4,000 LED lights in operation and over 80,000 square feet of grow space, we deliver the kind of cannabis products that meet high expectations, every single time.

Our Brands
818 Brands is the home of several respected California cannabis labels:
- 818 Enjoy – high-quality indoor flower known for purity and flavor
- California Exotics – curated strains inspired by California’s culture
- CREAM – dessert-style genetics with bold terpene profiles
- Brown Bag Genetics – everyday value without sacrificing quality
- DIBS – potent live resin concentrates crafted for experienced users
Each of these lines was built to serve different needs and preferences, but all carry the same signature of clean cultivation and consistent output.

The 818 Difference
We aren’t just another California cannabis brand. Our founders have over 45 years of combined experience in cultivation, retail operations, and facility management. Our systems are built for consistency, our genetics are bred in-house, and our products are cultivated with intention. Whether you’re visiting our dispensaries in Palm Springs or Studio City, or picking up 818 products through a licensed partner, you’ll know exactly what to expect — and that’s the point.
Focused on Quality, Backed by Community
818 Brands continues to grow responsibly, supporting local jobs, sustainable practices, and transparent production. We’re proud to be part of California’s cannabis movement and even prouder to be recognized for doing things right.
