Understanding Recreational and Medical Purchases

Before making a purchase at Sanctuary Medicinals in Massachusetts, it’s important to understand the differences between recreational and medical transactions.

Recreational buyers need to present a government-issued ID proving they’re 21 or older, while medical patients must show a valid MMJ card.

Here’s what you should know:

• Age verification required for recreational sales (21+)
• State-issued MMJ card (18+) required for medical transactions
• Different purchase limits for recreational and medical customers
• Medical purchases typically have lower taxes

By staying compliant, your experience will be seamless and straightforward.

Planning Your Visit to Sanctuary

While it may seem overwhelming—especially if you’re new to cannabis— planning your visit to your local Sanctuary location is pretty straightforward.

Here’s what to do before visiting:

• Comparing product offerings between dispensaries. Not every Sanctuary location will have the same items in stock, so it’s best to check beforehand.
• Verify your registration (if a medical patient) and bring valid identification.
• Confirm the store’s hours and location to avoid any surprises.
• Review our current product menus online to help you plan your visit.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1) Can I Bring My Pet Into the Dispensary?

Yes! Sanctuary is a pet-friendly dispensary, so your well-behaved furry friends are welcome to join you during your visit.

We just ask that pets remain leashed or properly secured at all times to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all guests.

2) Are There Cashless Payment Options or ATMs Available?

All Sanctuary locations accept cash, debit, and Canpay, but we do not currently have ATMs available.

If you’re heading to our Brookline dispensary, you can also make your purchase using Aeropay.

Massachusetts does not accept out-of-state medical cards. To purchase cannabis here, you’ll need to be registered with the Massachusetts medical use program and carry a valid state-issued patient or caregiver ID.
