5 Best places for a cannasseur to get the Highest in San Francisco

How high can a cannasseur get? These are the places you can get highest in Sam Francisco

If you’ve ever visited San Francisco, you know some of its most prominent features are it’s steep and plentiful hills.  San Francisco is made up of 49 hills in total.  In fact, if you’re not on a hill, you’re not on original SF ground.  All the flat places in San Francisco have been reclaimed from the bay.  That’s why there’s no actual beach in North Beach.  They filled that part of the bay in to create what is now Fisherman’s Wharf.

As a San Francisco tour guide I’ve helped visitors to San Francisco get high for years on many of the best tours SF has to offer.

If you don’t have time to get to go imbibing in The Emerald Triangle, not to worry.  Here is my list of the top 5 places to get the highest in San Francisco.

• Coit Tower

From Coit Tower you can see all the tours SF has & almost to The Emerald Triangle – Almost

Sitting atop Telegraph Hill is one of the city’s most famous landmarks, Coit Tower.  Donated to the city by Lillian Hitchcock Coit, Coit Tower is a monument to our city’s firemen.  It’s said to resemble the nozzle of a fire hose, and has beautiful WPA era murals on the inside in the style of Diego Rivera, not to mention an amazing 360 degree view of the city.  Even before the tower was built, Telegraph Hill got its name not because there was ever a telegraph station there, but because from the top of the hill, workers could see what ships were coming through the Golden Gate, and signal the dock workers down on The Embarcadero what ships were on their way using flags to send messages in semaphore to the workers below.  Even without going up the tower, the views from Telegraph Hill are definitely worth the hike to the top.

You don’t have to be on a weed tour to enjoy the colorful art in the style of Diego Rivera in Coit Tower

• The observation tower of The DeYoung Museum.

No imbibing needed to get high at The DeYoung whether you’re on a 420 tour or not

• The Starlight Room

When you’re done with tours SF’s Starlight Room gives a great view of The City

One block off Union Square, atop the Sir Francis Drake Hotel is one of the most romantic spots in San Francisco.  It’s said more people have proposed marriage at The Starlight Room than at any other location in San Francisco.  They have dancing Wednesday through Sunday, and a famous drag brunch on Sunday mornings.

After imbibing on a San Francisco weed tour, don’t miss the awesome drag show at the Starlight Room

• Twin Peaks

Our 420 tour bus in front of Sutro Tower at Twin Peaks

You can’t get higher in San Francisco than Twin Peaks.  Nestled between The Castro District and The Haight Ashbury is the highest point in San Francisco where Sutro Tower rises above the fog supplying TV and radio signal to the entire region.  From here you can practically see all the way to San Jose, weather permitting, and both tourists and locals flock here for the bird’s eye views.

The amazing view from Twin Peaks – You can almost see the pot farms of California’s Emerald Triangle from here!

Thanks to San Francisco’s unique topography, there are an inordinate amount of places to get really high, and even though the lounges are temporarily closed due to the pandemic, you can be assured these famous landmark lounges will be open again once we get through this time, and we can all get high together once again.
