Visited Cali for 5 days. Great experience. Scene is improved. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $98/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 7.5/10. One of my favourites.
AMA.
Best time to visit Cali

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.
