The scenic one-hour drive from Schenectady is just the beginning of an amazing excursion. Sweetgrass really does have something for everyone, both cannabis and non-cannabis consumers alike.

An artisanally-inspired Mercantile. Not just the few odds-and-ends of other dispensaries, but a true emporium filled with gorgeous glass pieces, books, apparel, cannabis lifestyle goods, and so much more; and
An unparalleled guest speaker series, driven by our dedication to plant medicine education drives. Learn how to grow your own cannabis, attend book signings from renowned cannabis industry figures, or join workshops on improving your live through plant medicine.
First time coming to a dispensary in the Berkshires? Here’s what to know:
In Massachusetts, if you're 21 or over, you're legally permitted to purchase goods at a cannabis retailer. To prove your age, you'll need to show a valid government-issued ID with a photo, expiration date and a signature.
You are free to visit a number of dispensaries throughout the day and make purchases at each. However be mindful of the state’s daily purchase limit of up to one ounce of flower - or flower equivalent - each day. For example, if you pick up a half-ounce at the first store, you'll only be able to buy another half-ounce at your next stop. However do note that other limits apply to concentrates (5g) and edibles (500mg).
