For those looking to buy cannabis, Northampton wouldn’t be complete without a visit to one of the dispensaries in town. The state legalized cannabis for medical use in 2012 and then for adult-use in 2016. While there are only a few dispensaries nearby to choose from, each has a wide variety of flower, concentrates and edibles to choose from. Please take note that it is still illegal to smoke weed in public in Massachusetts. Marijuana consumption should be done in the privacy of one’s home or with the permission of the property owner. It is also highly illegal to consume marijuana and drive.
