Located just outside of Eugene and only a short drive from Willamette National Forest, Springfield, Oregon may be one of the prettiest places to live in America. A city with a lot to do yet defined by small-town vibes and grandeur of the American northwest wilderness, Springfield has something to offer everyone – not to mention, this place is the actual inspiration for The Simpsons’ Springfield (visit the Springfield Museum to learn more). Year-round farmers markets, lots of local eateries and breweries, nearby vineyards with gorgeous views and tours, and easy access to hundreds of miles of trails throughout the surrounding forests make Springfield what it is. It’s also right across from Eugene, which offers its own unique take on Oregon living.
Like so many other cities within Oregon, Springfield has something else going for it: amazing weed. Springfield is home to many high-end dispensaries (not to mention Eugene’s prolific cannabis scene is right next door). Oregon legalized recreational marijuana in 2014, and Springfield has since benefited from the state’s high quality and testing standards and increasingly diverse cannabis culture. Most dispensaries operate from 7 AM to 10 PM, and while most Springfield dispensaries do not offer delivery services, many of the nearby Eugene dispensaries will deliver to Springfield. Please note that, while marijuana is readily available in Springfield and surrounding cities, it is prohibited to use weed on public property (including state and national parks) and it is illegal to drive while under the influence of any amount of marijuana.
