Although there are no recreational dispensaries in Cairo yet, that will likely change over the coming months and years. For now, here are some answers to frequently asked questions about buying cannabis from our dispensary.

Is Weed Legal in Cairo, NY?

Yes, recreational marijuana is legal in New York, thanks to the passing of a new law in 2021. However, because this law is so recent, there are no licensed recreational dispensaries within the state. So, the closest high-quality dispensary option is in Lee, MA. Although Canna Provisions is over an hour away, it’s worth the trip.

Can I Bring My Marijuana Back Across State Lines?

Unfortunately, it’s a federal felony to transport cannabis across state lines because the drug is still illegal at the federal level. So, it’s best to plan a day trip or overnight stay in Lee and the surrounding area if possible.

How Much Weed Can I Buy?

In Massachusetts, it’s legal to carry up to one ounce of cannabis flower, 16 ounces of infused products (i.e., edibles), and 72 ounces of liquid.

Where Can I Use My Cannabis?

It’s illegal to smoke or ingest cannabis in public areas in Massachusetts. However, if you’re in New York and purchase from a medical marijuana facility, you can have up to three ounces of flower and smoke it in the same areas as you can with tobacco smoke.
