Founded in San Francisco in 2008, Mission Cannabis began as a small medical cannabis collective dedicated to providing relief to patients in need. Founders Mark and Sarah Thompson, inspired by cannabis's therapeutic potential after Sarah's battle with chronic pain, set out to create a brand centered on quality and compassion.From their first dispensary in the Mission District (which inspired the company name), they expanded thoughtfully across California, focusing on developing relationships with local cultivators and maintaining personalized patient care. By 2017, Mission had established five dispensaries across the state and launched their signature cultivation facility in Humboldt County.Their breakthrough came in 2020 when they expanded to Massachusetts and Michigan, bringing their California-grown expertise to emerging East Coast markets. Recently celebrating their 15th anniversary, Mission Cannabis has evolved from a neighborhood collective to a respected multi-state operator while maintaining their original commitment to sustainable cultivation and community wellness.
