If you live in New Hampshire, you know the state is the only place in New England where you can’t buy weed. While it’s possible for NH to change its mind in the future, you have to travel out of state to get high for now. Fortunately, Mass Alternative Care sells products in many different dispensaries on both the Massachusetts and Maine sides. Here are the closest options to NH.

• Toy Town – Toy Town is designed to resemble a Prohibition-era speakeasy, so you can feel like you’re enjoying the forbidden fruit of an illegal flower (although it’s totally legal in MA).
• United Cultivation – UC is more of a hangout spot where you can go and chill with friends while browsing the extensive weed collection. It’s also a great place to learn more about different strains if you’re new to cannabis.
• Treehouse Craft Cannabis (Dracut and Pepperell) – Treehouse has two locations near NH—Pepperell and Dracut. Both locations offer the same products and atmosphere, which is laid-back and welcoming to newbies.
• Smyth Cannabis Co. – Smyth is almost like a boutique dispensary with modern architecture and chic decor. This is the best place for connoisseurs to discover new strains.
• Maine’s Alternative Caring – If you’re closer to Maine, you can visit Maine’s Alternative Caring for your weed hit. This dispensary is more rustic and environmental, giving mountaineering and backpacking vibes.

What to Expect From the Closest Dispensaries to New Hampshire

Since there are no New Hampshire recreational dispensaries, your best option is to travel south to Massachusetts to discover Mass Alternative Care products. Because MA has had legal marijuana for so long, these dispensaries are staffed with knowledgeable budtenders and workers. So, if you’re trying to discover new strains or products, it’s easier to find what you’re looking for.

Another side effect of having recreational weed for so long is that there’s no stigma surrounding these dispensaries. Everyone shops at them, from chronic smokers to first-timers. Visiting an MA dispensary is almost like going to a convenience store, only you’ll wind up with much better products in your pocket.

If you live in Northern New Hampshire, you may want to head to Maine instead. Since recreational weed is illegal in NH for the time being, it doesn’t necessarily make sense to drive all the way south to MA. Fortunately, you can find Mass Alt Care products in Maine.

Since Maine legalized marijuana the same year as Massachusetts (2016), the culture there is just as welcoming and inviting. You don’t have to feel weird about walking into a dispensary, as it’s just a natural part of modern life. Since Maine is more of a wild state, many of the dispensaries up there lean into environmentalism, focusing on sustainability and all-natural products.

Also, keep in mind that transporting cannabis across state lines is still illegal. So, when visiting MA or ME for weed, you have to use it all before going back home to NH.
