Cannibisters

Cannibisters is one of the standout companies I often reference in my work. From the moment I first walked through their doors, I was greeted warmly by the staff and impressed by their state-of-the-art membership pods.

Access to the lounge area is restricted until you’ve filled out the required information. This system speaks volumes about their attention to detail and commitment to a quality experience. Their membership setup is easily one of the most advanced I’ve seen in South Africa. With a loyalty points system built in, Cannibisters has truly perfected the customer-centric membership model.

Once inside, it’s clear that the interior design and artwork were carefully planned. Every corner—from the tables and couches to the more relaxed, lie-down areas both upstairs and downstairs—feels thoughtfully curated. The artwork is striking, particularly if you have a creative mind. It adds a unique energy to the space without being overwhelming. And let’s not forget the coffee—beautifully prepared, just like everything else they offer. The staff and the members create a welcoming, laid-back atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at home.

Then there’s the VIP lounge. This space is for those who take their cannabis lifestyle seriously. The privacy, decor, and overall feel of the VIP section are exceptional—enough to inspire anyone to treat themselves to a day inside. It’s a perfect reflection of the high standard Cannibisters sets for itself.

Over the course of several meetings and engagements with Pierre and David, I’ve come to deeply respect their vision. They are forward-thinking, generous, and firmly rooted in the principles of harm reduction and cannabis education. Their marketing is sharp, their brand messaging is modern with just the right touch of mystery, and their approach to building community is genuine.

Their story is what truly inspired me—and if you ever get the chance to hear it, I highly recommend you do.

Without a doubt, Cannibisters is one of the top Cannabis Apothecaries in South Africa, and Rolling Stoner is all the better for having crossed paths with them.
