GAS-STATION AMERICANA, UPDATED

For nearly a century, Route 66 has meant the same thing: neon signs, roadside diners, and gas stations where a traveler could fill the tank, stretch their legs, and get a straight deal from whoever was behind the counter. Needles, California is one of the Mother Road’s original desert towns — the last stop before the Colorado River heading east, the first taste of California heading west.

The Gas Station 760 picks that tradition up and runs with it. Established in 2023, we’re the first & only gas station dispensary in California — actual fuel pumps out front, a licensed recreational cannabis menu inside, and a lot big enough for whatever you’re driving. It’s the classic Route 66 pit stop, updated for 2026, with a 4.9-star rating across 389 Google reviews to show for it.

If you’re running I-40 between Arizona and California — or making the long haul between Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Los Angeles — Needles is where the desert crossings meet. Westbound, we’re your first legal cannabis stop after the river. Eastbound, we’re your last one in California. Either way, we’re one exit, one turn, and about ten minutes of your trip.

One stop does it all.

1st / LAST
Stop at the river

Long-haul days are about minimizing stops. Ours combines fuel, snacks, and a licensed dispensary in one pull-off — and with 389 Google reviews averaging 4.9 stars, it’s the rare roadside gamble that isn’t one. Check the standing deals before you roll in; returning customers get discounts on repeat visits, so the drive back is cheaper too.

TRAVELER RULES OF THE ROAD

Know before you pull off.

01 · ID
21+ with ID from any state

You don’t need to be a California resident. A valid driver’s license or government ID from any U.S. state (or a passport) gets you in, as long as you’re 21 or older. No medical card needed.

02 · PAYMENT
Cash or debit — ATM on-site

Cash and debit both work, and there’s an ATM inside if you’re short. Credit cards aren’t accepted (federal law). Prices are tax-included, so you know your total before the counter.

03 · STATE LINES
California cannabis stays in California

Crossing state lines with cannabis is illegal — even into legal states. Plan to enjoy your purchase while you’re in California, before you cross the river. Don’t stock the RV for the whole trip.

04 · THE ROAD
Never drive impaired

Keep products sealed in the vehicle and consume responsibly, off the road. The Mother Road has waited 100 years for you — it can wait until you’re parked for the night.

ORDER AT THE STATE LINE. PICK UP AT EXIT 144.

Have your co-pilot build the cart on our Flowhub menu — orders are typically ready in about 20 minutes, so it’s bagged by the time you park.
