To be honest, LA isn't a quick visit city. I lived there for my first 19 years of my 20 year old life and realized that to love LA you have to know the people and really really really get to know the area. If you want to go take a food challenge and shit fire for a few days head to Orochan Ramen in Lil Tokyo and order special #2. IF you like beat-music (Flying Lotus-ish) go to Low End Theory at the Airliner on Wednesday nights. L.A. Arboretum is pretty nice. Natural History museum. Disneyland? Magic Mountain? Get a med script and go to like 20 different clubs getting free shit then just go back home and smoke until you can't?

I see your point about 2 young guys on the town, I just like animals too. A good stand-up club is usually fun as long as you do not hit it when they have no one good but how will you know unless you check it out. I know this might sound touristy but check with the tourism board there, I am sure they have to have a web site. Wish you and your friend a good fun and safe time.

Really. Who has to ask "What is there to do in LA?"
WTF. There is everything to do.

This will be me in a few weeks. Great thread I'm planning on spending every weekend my first year there exploring.
First place I'm checking out is Chavez Ridge disc golf course by Dodger stadium.

Growery gathering! I will be in LA on 07/17 - 07/20 with a canadian buddy, i think he's coming. I've been to LA a handful of times but never by myself. Actually the guy im going with signed up here, as Kanaduh, i think. There's going to be a National (or international?) surfing competition I was wanting to go to for a little bit to take some pictures and check out the bitches, ya know. yeah, it's also called frolf. it's an awesome game. but not something id really seek out while on vacation, unless it's a simply beautiful course, which seems rare in frolf. Anyway, I've done all that tourist shit in LA a few times and could avoid that. Got my picture taken wiht a tranny prostitute on the strip real late at night one night. Went through skid row at around midnight, that was fucking intense. I wouldn't recommend that, i was with an off duty cop at the time. But there are soo many things to do that it's overwhelming. I do know that two of the nights I will be there I will be seeing tool, so that's something you guys can do as well. There are lots and lots of shows and that kind of stuff that costs money. but i would probably be contempt just sitting on the beach all day smoking pot.

Gathering sounds great but I won't be in SoCal until August so I'm going to miss Furrowed for sure. I'd vote for the party bus to mexico and/or smoking out on the beach all day, but thats me.

I'd go to a growery gathering but not the tool show just because I'm not really a fan and that seems like a $50-$100 ticket I'd rather spend on bud or beer. I'm trying to get my friend to come out in the next 3 weeks but he has to work it out with his pizza boy job  everyone knows that's some serious shit there, I kid he actually stacks serious paper in that little beach town....... they are $1 bills but dang.
Everyone with a mmj rec could go to the hash bar in hollywood then go get shitty drunk at a hipster night club.
OR PARTAY BUS TO TIJUANA!!!!!
hahaha, I doubt i'd want to go to Tj again. That place is nothing but a clusterfuck of shit, even more so than LA. I know there are a lot of growerites in socal too. a gathering would be very

I've never been to TJ so the whores, pills and drunken crying on the toilet would be a fun first.

My favorite things to do in Los Angeles:- Daikokuya (a couple of blocks east of Orochon on 1st st in Lil Tokyo) is a better ramen joint in my opinion (featuring pitchers of brew and ramen combo's). If you're in it just for the spice however, Orochon is the way to go.
- Venice Beach + the Santa Monica pier. This is a bustling tourist attraction. Possibly one of our dirtier beaches due to all the traffic, but plenty of stuff and interesting people to watch. Also, a solid 12 mile round trip boardwalk if you have a bike or some rollerblades that extends from the Venice Fishing pier on the south up to the Pacific Palisades on the north. Carribean food at Cha Cha Chicken is rockin' (~10 a plate), and you can bring in your own booze for no charge.
- Hermosa Beach is a little lower key, local style (cleaner) beach, also offering a boardwalk and some decent bars & restaurants.
- Seal beach / Long Beach (south of the port) has another decent boardwalk; and from this area you can also visit the Queen Mary, find a boat that will take you out on the water, and if you like good craft beer, hit Beachwood BBQ for their happy hour. Boats launch from here to Catalina island, which is also a pretty cool place if you have a little more money (though probably better to go with a lady to the island and stay overnight
 ).
- Check the calendar for the following musical venues in town... they're all good if they're playing what you like:
Hollywood Bowl (large)
Greek Theatre (medium large)
The Wiltern (medium large)
Walt Disney Concert Hall (medium large, heart of Downtown close to Little Tokyo)
The El Rey (medium)
House of Blues Sunset (medium)
The Mint (small)
The Troubador (small)
The Largo at the Coronet (small seated theatre with some good comedy and bluegrass)
There are others, but the aforementioned are the ones I frequent the most, especially the Largo and the Hollywood Bowl. The Greek Theatre is totally awesome too, but a little pricey these days.
- If you do go to the Greek Theatre (or even if you don't), it's located right in Griffith Park, where you can go visit the historic Griffith Observatory (free) and get some good views of the Los Angeles basin (if it's clear). There are also plenty of hiking trails in this area, some that will lead you to the Hollywood sign.
- Hollywood & Highland district, and nearby Sunset Blvd. The "way Hollywood" experience. Lots of shops, museums, theatres, et al. If you're looking for the "tourist" thing to do, this is near the top of the list.
- San Gabriel Mountain Range & Topanga State Park for hiking, camping, and nature time. East Fork of the San Gabriel River in the Sheep Mountain Wilderness offers a pretty cool hike with several waist high river crossings and the opportunity to bungee jump off of the "bridge to nowhere" after you're about 5 miles in from the trailhead.
- FOOD TRUCKS. Taco trucks are your friend, friend.
- Magic Mountain theme park 30 minutes out of town in Valencia if you like roller coasters.
That should get you started. Los Angeles has a lot to offer. But it is a sprawling city and can be easy to get lost in or overwhelmed. Plan your time and don't just drive aimlessly. If you do the later, you'll likely just end up stuck in traffic which is THE PITS!
Not to say all of these things are my favorite
Though to be sure, some of them indeed are just that.
Los Angeles has this and considerably more... on the up and to the down!
