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!

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.
