Cookies: A Global Cannabis Phenomenon

When you walk through our doors at Altalune Dispensary, you step into a space where warm lighting, refurbished wood, and comforting fireplaces ground your experience before your journey reaches for the moon. Among the incredible brands we carry, Cookies stands out as a cultural force that has redefined what cannabis means to millions of people around the world. This is one of the brands we carry, and we are proud to share their story with every customer who visits our bud bar.

Cookies is the most globally recognized cannabis company, founded in 2010 by Billboard-charting rapper and entrepreneur Berner and Bay Area breeder and cultivator Jai. What started as a passion project rooted in the rich cannabis culture of San Francisco grew into a movement that transcended the industry. Berner brought his creative vision and cultural influence while Jai contributed deep expertise in breeding and cultivation, and together they built something that changed the game forever. The company creates game-changing genetics and offers a collection of over 70 proprietary cannabis cultivars and more than 2,000 products, a testament to the depth and range of their commitment to the plant.

From the Bay Area to the World

Headquartered in San Francisco, Cookies opened its first retail store in 2018 in Los Angeles. Since then, the brand has expanded to over 70 retail locations in over 20 markets across six countries. That kind of growth does not happen by accident. It happens when a brand connects authentically with people, speaking their language and honoring the culture that cannabis has always been part of. Cookies was recently named one of America’s Hottest Brands of 2021 by AdAge, making it the first cannabis brand to ever receive this accolade. That recognition reflects not just commercial success but cultural relevance on a massive scale.

At Altalune Dispensary, we believe in carrying brands that align with our values, and Cookies embodies a spirit of authenticity and innovation that resonates deeply with our community. Every customer who walks in is thoughtfully guided in discovering and celebrating the transformative power of the cannabis plant, and having a brand like Cookies on our shelves gives us another powerful way to do that. Our staff is here to connect, helping foster introspection and personal growth, to truly lift you off, and sharing the story behind brands like Cookies is part of that experience.

Advocacy and Social Impact

What makes Cookies truly special extends far beyond the quality of their genetics. The company is actively involved in advocacy and social impact initiatives to enrich communities disproportionately impacted by the War on Drugs. This commitment to justice and equity mirrors what we stand for at Altalune Dispensary. We are more than a dispensary. We are committed to our community and actively engage in events that uplift both the people and the city. We promote cannabis safety and education to support your well-being, and carrying brands that share these values is essential to who we are.

The cannabis industry carries a complex history, and companies like Cookies acknowledge that history by actively working to repair the damage caused by decades of unjust policy. Their advocacy efforts include community reinvestment, educational programs, and amplifying voices that have long been marginalized. When you choose Cookies products from our shelves, you are supporting a brand that puts purpose alongside profit.
