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.

Even though NY residents can legally travel to MA to get adult-use cannabis, you can’t transport your purchase back across state lines. Therefore, if you do make plans to visit our dispensary near Schenectady, you may want to hang around for the night or even a weekend. Lee is full of things to do, places to see, and good food, though, so you’ll have a good time while you’re here.

A few quick tips to make your trip as enjoyable as possible:

• Make sure you know MA cannabis laws
• Bring your NY-state issued ID to prove your identity and age (must be 21 or older)
• MA purchase limits will apply to NY residents, but you can visit more than one dispensary

We strive to make each visit an experience

Planted in a historic 150-year-old paper mill building, the Canna Provisions dispensary in Lee is an experience. The large interior exudes chill vibes with its unique layout and design, and there is so much history to appreciate, right down to upcycled industrial pieces. We’re not just a people-friendly place—we welcome your pets as well.

Mouth-Watering & Mind-Bending Product Selection

The adult-use menu we offer is made up of unique flower strains, some available only at our dispensaries. Our Smash Hits collection is pulled together by our director of cultivation, which is the legend himself: Greg “Chemdog” Krzanowski. We also do our part to support the local cannabis industry, which means you’ll find everything from tinctures and infused edibles to high-end concentrates from MA producers.

Getting Here – Make it a trip!

Consider making it a three-day trip—there are a ton of Airbnbs and Hotels in the area, some of which are 420 and pet-friendly. And, you can even find some 420-friendly camp locations and hiking trails while you’re here.

The quickest route from downtown Schenectady to Lee is via I-90E. Once you get to MA and near Lee, you’ll merge onto US-20 W/Housatonic Street.

Brush up on NY Weed laws

The Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA) made recreational weed legal in the state of NY a while back. However, it may be a while before you have a Schenectady dispensary of your own to visit. The state says that it may take until Spring 2023 to get all the regulations and rules laid out so dispensaries can open in NY. For now, making the trip across the border to grab what you want in MA is your best bet.
