Unforgettable Activities to Pair with Your Dispensary Visit in Boston

June 24, 2024

Any trip into the iconic city of Boston will be memorable, but you don’t have to choose between your cannabis hobby and a lovely day out on the town. At the peak of warm and sunny weather, there’s no better time to explore Boston and see what it has to offer.

Before you start, head to a Boston dispensary to stock up on your favorite products — or try something new — to get you primed for your adventure. In addition to cruising through Boston’s top dispensaries, there are plenty of other activities that can keep the day going strong.

Here are some ideas to fit into your itinerary, whether you’re looking for something energetic or a more relaxed experience.

Sightseeing and Enrichment

Boston is home to many memorable views and unique activities that suit all kinds of interests and styles.

Tours

If education is your thing, Boston Cannabis Tours offers an adventure through the heart of the city with a focus on dispensaries and weed experiences. Alternatively, The Bliss Bus does something similar, but with comedians who host the 90-minute journey, so prepare for some weed-infused giggles!

Education

For the more contemplative weed enjoyers, a trip to the Museum of Fine Arts or Skywalk Observatory could be right up your alley. The effects of a good blunt or eddy can bring a renewed sense of wonder and excitement to these educational institutions.

And that says nothing of the New England Aquarium! With the right strain, the vibrant colors and mesmerizing patterns of swimming fish and sharks can bake your brain in a completely new way.

Outdoors

If you’d rather stick to the outdoors, Boston still has plenty to offer. Light up before heading to the Freedom Trail or Boston Public Garden to relax and enjoy the natural scenery. Just be sure you consume responsibly so you’re safe to walk and climb without injury.

Bud Events

If a greater focus on cannabis is what you’re craving during your outing, consider stopping by any of the city’s weed-forward events (depending on the time of year). From Boston Cannabis Week to NECANN Boston, there’s plenty to do and see.

Alternatively, if you’re not in town during any of the big events, pop-ups fill the city most weekends. Explore the Pure Oasis Downtown Boston x Fernway pop-up, “Lit” Nite Bites, and more.

Culinary Exploration

Weed-infused cooking isn’t something that has to be limited to your own kitchen! Boston is home to numerous establishments that can serve food or drinks with a little extra canna kick.

The most iconic is Dinner at Mary’s (which requires becoming a member in advance), which offers a full sampling of cannabis-infused cuisine customized to each participant’s dosage tolerance.

Shop and Hop

It wouldn’t be Boston without the dozens (or even hundreds!) of shopping opportunities, both for cannabis and in general. Harvard Square is a must. Start at the Cambridge side to watch the boats, then explore the many shops in the square or the bars in the area.

Don’t forget to swing by New Dia, Boston’s own cannabis “mall.” This is a great place to sample the many strains the city has to offer, all in a single, conveniently located space.

And once you find something that tickles your fancy, don’t be afraid to shop and hop! Turning your day into a multi-dispensary city crawl can be rewarding and leave you coming home with new and exciting things to try.

Just remember that Boston does strictly enforce its legal limits on cannabis. You can only carry up to an ounce of weed on your person or in your vehicle — which means that you can’t stock up in piles from every dispensary you visit.

You can, however, have up to 10 ounces at home, so if you do want to really pile on, just be sure you stop back at your house to drop off your scores from time to time to stay in line with the local laws!

Going back home is also a great opportunity to light up again since you’re not allowed to smoke in public places. Think of it like a pit stop!
