Harborside is a California cannabis retailer founded in Oakland in 2006 by Steve DeAngelo and Dress Wedding. It began as a nonprofit medical-cannabis patient collective and later added adult-use sales under California’s licensed market. Its four Bay Area stores are in Oakland, San Francisco, San Jose and San Leandro, each with its own address, phone number and live menu.
Where it operates
The four advertised stores are Oakland at 1840 Embarcadero, San Francisco at 768 Stanyan Street, San Jose at 1365 North 10th Street and San Leandro at 1965 Marina Boulevard. Each location operates under its own cannabis license and local rules. California’s Department of Cannabis Control identifies the San Francisco premises as an active adult-use and medicinal retailer operated by Fgw Haight, Inc.
Products
Harborside menus span flower, pre-rolls, vaporizers, edibles, concentrates, beverages and wellness formats from California-licensed brands. Customers can browse store-specific inventory online, reserve eligible products for pickup and use delivery where the store and local rules permit it. Stash Rewards and a paid membership program are available, but discounts, exclusions and inventory can change and should be checked before ordering.
Origins and ownership
Harborside became one of the best-known dispensaries of California’s medical-cannabis era. Its early operation emphasized product testing, patient education and CBD-rich products at a time when many of those practices were not standard in dispensaries. The transition to the licensed adult-use market changed the regulatory framework, while the Oakland origin and patient-centered history remained central to the Harborside name.
The federal forfeiture dispute
Federal prosecutors filed civil-forfeiture actions in 2012 against properties housing Harborside locations. The stores remained open while Harborside and local government challenged the action. In May 2016, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California announced dismissal of the cases. That resolution is part of Harborside’s history and is separate from the parent company’s later financial restructuring.
StateHouse and receivership
Harborside’s public parent later became StateHouse Holdings and assembled a broader California portfolio that included Urbn Leaf, Loudpack and other brands. In September 2024, secured lender Pelorus began receivership proceedings over U.S. subsidiaries, and a receiver was appointed in October. The Canadian parent entered bankruptcy in Canada shortly afterward. A receivership places assets under court-supervised control; it does not automatically mean every store closes on the filing date.
Recent activity
The StateHouse portfolio remained marketed through the court process in May 2026 after a January confirmation and overbid hearing. The asset package included Harborside and other retail, cultivation, distribution and brand interests. Court authorization and cannabis regulatory authorization can affect ownership transfers, while an individual store may continue operating during the process.
Product details
Before visiting, customers should confirm the address, hours, live menu and ordering options for the specific Harborside location. They can also check the California license database for the legal business name and license status of the premises. That prevents a historical license number, parent-company filing or receivership notice from being mistaken for current store hours or product availability.
