With all of the news lately that has been raising questions about the quality of New York cannabis, it is important to understand the problem and ways to avoid it. You can avoid problems with bad weed by buying from a reputable dispensary. We invite you over the border to Massachusetts to visit Canna Provisions to discuss the quality of weed you are buying. Our budtenders are professionals who can explain the problem of poor quality weed and the importance of accurate product testing.

New York passed adult-use cannabis over a year ago with The Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA). However, it takes a while to get the regulations sorted out. Therefore, NY dispensaries will likely not be up and running until sometime around spring of 2023. Until then, your best hope is to find a good dispensary near Hudson Valley, NY. Since NY shares a border with MA, the trek to grab legal cannabis in MA is a logical option.

A few other things to know before making the trip:

• Get to know the local cannabis laws in MA so you don’t get in hot water for lighting up in the wrong place
• You can visit multiple dispensaries per day, but you will still have purchase limits just like MA residents
• You’ll need a valid state-issued ID and must be 21 or older to buy cannabis in MA
• Bring your questions—Canna Provisions loves educating newcomers about cannabis!

Canna Provisions is not just any dispensary—we’re a destination.

Our Lee dispensary is a vibe all in itself with unique interior decor, upcycled equipment, and historical surroundings. Our menu is made up of local favorites, many of which are grown right here in MA. Our selection includes top-shelf flower strains, infused edibles and beverages, potent concentrates, and all the accessories you could need.

You’ll see a lot of featured strains on our menu, many of which come from the Smash Hits collection. Our director of cultivation happens to be Greg “Chemdog” Krzanowski, which is a reason to visit all in itself. Canna Provisions also makes sure every staff member gets the proper training to ensure you get a good experience. Our dispensary guides get hours of ongoing training on all the latest cannabis information.

Lastly, all of our dispensaries are pet-friendly, so no reason to leave your four-legged pals at home!

Making the trip from Hudson Valley

You’ve got a few different options depending on what part of Hudson Valley you’re coming from. You can either take I-87 and I-90E or the Taconic State Parkway and I-90E. Either way, you’re looking at a trip of around 80 miles. You’ll find the Canna Provisions dispensary tucked away in a historic building at 220 Housatonic Street. Look for us on the left just past McDonald’s on the right, and before you reach Dunkin’ Donuts on the left.

Traveling across state lines with cannabis is illegal. So, when you plan to make a trip to Lee for cannabis, it’s a good idea to plan to stick around. No worries, though—there’s no shortage of things to do and see while you’re here. Grab a 420-friendly Airbnb or Hotel and make it a three-day weekend. Don’t forget to hit up some top 31 Berkshire restaurants when you get the munchies.
