Yes you can visit MAC, however, out of state medical cards are not accepted in the State of Massachusetts for purchase of medical marijuana. Without a MA medical card, all purchases will be recreational purchases.

The State of Massachusetts does not allow any discounts on recreational marijuana products. On the medical side, discounts and promotions are allowed to our medical marijuana patients.

Under Massachusetts Service Animal Law and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), service animals are allowed to accompany their handlers in the dispensary. Emotional Support Animals (ESA) are not permitted to enter the dispensary.

Marijuana is still federally illegal in the United States. State borders fall under federal jurisdiction so crossing state lines with your purchase is a federal offense.

Adults over the age of 21 may purchase from our Recreational menu, which is now available for order ahead. Adults 18 or older who are registered Massachusetts Medical Marijuana Patients and registered Caregivers 21 or older can legally purchase medicinal marijuana. Absolutely no one under the age of 21 (unless stated above for medical patients) will be allowed to enter the dispensary, including babies and infants.

Adults may possess up to 1oz of flower, or 5 grams of concentrate, or 500mg of edibles on them at a time. MAC places internal limits on certain products due to the demand. Internal limits allow for increased access among many consumers rather than a select few. Up to date limits can be found on our Adult Use Menu.

Yes you can! MAC accepts state IDs, driver licenses, passports, or military IDs. All forms of identification must not be expired, unless you expired after 3/1/2020 and your state has extended ID expiration dates due to COVID.

Adult users and medical patients need to bring a valid form of state issued identification and a mask to enter the facility.
