Massachusetts Adult-Use Dispensaries: How To Find Those That Re-Opened For Curbside Pickup

By WeedMaps' Hannah Meadows, provided exclusively to Benzinga Cannabis.

With coronavirus continuing to affect businesses around the world, the ability to still buy cannabis has been a welcome relief. And in Massachusetts, the Mass Cannabis Control Commission released guidelines allowing adult-use dispensaries to reopen on May 25 via curbside pickup as part of Gov. Charlie Baker's phased re-opening of the state economy. 

Since the new guidelines are now in effect, find out the best way to order Massachusetts weed online and receive your goods by the curb. 

Who's open for curbside pickup?

Narrow down your search by using the filters “Order online,” “Open now,” and “Curbside pickup.” Here is an example with "Open Now" and "Curbside pickup."

Extra tips for picking up your stash safely

What's the best etiquette when picking up your stoney goods? Since the coronavirus is still at large, you should be practicing safe social distancing measures — even when behind the wheel. This includes wearing a mask and gloves when receiving your order (you can put these on once you park) and possibly keeping hand sanitizer in the glove compartment for when the transaction is over. 

Also, keep in mind that dispensaries will be extra busy during this time, especially the first couple of weeks following re-opening. If no designated parking spots are available, follow the direction of parking lot attendants or budtenders.
