FAQs About Our Amherst Dispensary
Can I visit more than one dispensary per day?
Yes. Massachusetts law does not restrict the number of licensed dispensaries you can visit in a single day, though you must remain within the per-transaction purchase limits at each location.
Can I bring cannabis across state borders?
No. Transporting cannabis across state lines is illegal under federal law, regardless of the laws in any states involved. Cannabis purchased at MAC stays in Massachusetts.
Are there educational resources available?
Yes. MAC publishes guides, articles, and educational content on the Learn and Grow blog. The blog covers everything from product formats and dosing basics to what to expect on a first visit.
Are there dispensary deals and discounts?
MAC offers several ways to save, including the Springbig Loyalty Program, which gives members 10% off every purchase after signup plus points redeemable for rewards. Customers who buy in bulk can take advantage of Cumulative Pricing, which reduces the per-unit cost when purchasing larger quantities within the same product tier.
New batch price drops are also available periodically when fresh product arrives from MAC’s Massachusetts partner brands.
