Legal weed moving closer to Conn.
Legal recreational weed is about to get a little closer to Connecticut on Friday.
That because on Friday the newest recreational marijuana dispensary will open in Great Barrington, Mass., on Route 7 — just 13 miles from the Connecticut state line.
Theory Wellness, which has been selling medical pot since 2017, says will have its “recreational launch” for sales at 10 a.m. at its 394 Stockbridge Road store.
Only buyers 21 or older can purchase the cannabis products.
“We are so excited to finally open our doors for recreational cannabis sales at our Great Barrington location,” Theory Wellness posted on its website. “Focused on small batches and unique genetics, we strive to develop a premium range of flower, concentrates, and infused products for consumers in Massachusetts. In doing so, we commit ourselves to constant reinvention and self-scrutiny, working with and listening to each other, to further improve and enhance your cannabis experience.”
Expecting crowds on opening day, Theory Wellness posted information on parking and what people need to know on its website.
According to its website, people can purchase one item per category: up to a half-ounce of flower, a prerolled joint, a concentrate, a vape cartridge, an edible and one infusion.
It will be the third dispensary to sell legal recreational weed in Massachusetts. The two others — in Northampton and Leicester — opened in November.
Currently, the closest recreational marijuana dispensary is NETA in Northampton, about 28 miles from the Connecticut state line. It’s located a few miles off of Interstate 91’s Exit 18.
