Zion Dispensary is nestled in Nachlaot, one of Jerusalem's oldest and most characterful residential neighbourhoods. The area's bohemian culture and mix of secular and traditional communities reflects the social complexity of Jerusalem, and Zion Dispensary serves patients from across this spectrum.
Nachlaot and the Local Cannabis Scene
Nachlaot is a labyrinth of narrow alleys and courtyards dating back centuries, home to a creative community that sits in contrast to Jerusalem's more conservative reputation. Zion Dispensary is part of a new wave of medical cannabis businesses helping to normalize cannabis within the broader Israeli health system.
