From Launch to Legacy: SWED’s Journey with Meadow

Located on the path from LAX to West Hollywood, SWED (Smoke Weed Every Day) is more than a dispensary—it’s a destination. Known for its iconic Snoop Dogg branding, exclusive merch, and one of LA’s largest premium flower selections, SWED delivers a fast, friendly, and unforgettable customer experience.

Since opening in 2022 with Meadow, SWED has grown into a powerhouse. After rebranding under the legendary SWED name in 2024, the dispensary has continued to thrive—serving more customers than ever with great prices, seamless service, and an unbeatable vibe.

From the start, SWED’s leadership built the business around four pillars: speed, simplicity, accuracy, and experience. Meadow’s platform aligned perfectly with those values, powering smooth daily operations and scalable growth.

Our dispensary is about more than cannabis—it’s about delivering a great experience. We’re here for anyone flying into LAX or local to Playa del Rey, Culver City, Inglewood, and beyond.
