PleasureMed launches as the city’s premiere destination for a novel sensory experience. Spanning over 6,500 square feet of botanical bliss, the multifaceted two-story space offers a state-of-the-art dispensary; a destination restaurant serving Californian-inspired farm to table cuisine; and an intimate outdoor lounge space for craft cocktails. Located on vibrant Santa Monica Boulevard, PleasureMed neighbors Pleasure Chest, the iconic adult boutique owned by Brian Robinson, which first opened its doors in New York in 1971. The launch of PleasureMed marks Robinson’s venture into the cannabis and hospitality sector.

“PleasureMed will bring an array of offerings under one roof, promising to deliver a new kind of experience to West Hollywood. Intersecting the culinary and cannabis worlds, this new space will transform the way that dispensaries are perceived. By creating a shared pleasure-conscious campus, we are continuing our goal of expanding ways to increase joy in people’s lives.” shares Brian Robinson. Designed by Studio UNLTD, visitors are welcomed into a grand light-filled space, inspired by the apothecaries of Havana, with soaring 13-foot coffered ceilings. Intricate checkered marble flooring under dramatic ivory beaded chandeliers leads to an extensive dispensary space displaying a variety of cannabis strains and products, with a focus on local and family-owned producers.

The public is invited to explore the curated selection and encouraged to speak with PleasureMed’s Cannabis experts to discuss their needs, as it marks the next generation in cannabis retail. The exterior of the property features a 67’ x 30’, 4-minute 3D video art experience that has been exclusively created by Optical Animal and Brian Robinson to illuminate the side of the PleasureMed building. Titled The Jaguar’s Eye, the show-stopping piece takes viewers on a journey from the microscopic to the cosmic, finding familiar forms among a diverse cast of characters, environments, flora, and fauna. PleasureMed looks forward to welcoming the community of Los Angeles – and beyond – into their ethereal universe.
