To get the most out of your dispensary experience, it’s crucial to stay informed about upcoming events and take advantage of loyalty programs.

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:
No, pets aren’t allowed inside the dispensary, except for verified service animals as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This policy helps maintain a clean, compliant, and welcoming space for everyone. If you rely on a service animal, just let a staff member know when you arrive—we’re here to support your access needs respectfully and legally.
Due to current federal banking restrictions, dispensaries operate primarily on a cash basis, but you'll usually find an ATM on-site for convenience. Some locations may also offer debit-style “cashless ATM” systems that work like a card swipe and include a small processing fee. We always recommend checking the payment options at your specific dispensary ahead of time, since available methods can vary by location and state guidelines.
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. However, adults 21 and over with a government-issued ID are welcome to shop for recreational use at any licensed dispensary.
Sanctuary aims to support both medical patients and adult-use customers with a curated selection of lab-tested products, approachable staff, and a commitment to transparency at every step. From premium flower strains and infused edibles to our innovative products, everything we offer is rooted in quality and compliance. Stay connected with in-store events, learn details about cannabis with expert guidance, and explore it with confidence—right here in your neighborhood.
In order to enter the facility, it is required you bring your valid medical card and a valid government-issued identification proving you are 21 or older. This could be in the form of a driver’s license, passport or military ID.
We accept cash and debit cards.
Yes, you can purchase cannabis as a recreational customer at our stores in Gardner, Woburn and Brookline with a government-issued ID that verifies you are 21 or older.

Consumption of cannabis may only occur in privately designated areas where smoking and/or vaping is allowed. Please keep in mind that public consumption of cannabis is against the law. Learn more about the laws governing recreational cannabis [here].
Transporting cannabis is similar to transporting alcohol wherein you cannot have an open container of cannabis or cannabis products in the passenger area. An "open container" is defined as having a package with a broken seal or a package from which contents have been partially removed. Learn more about the laws governing recreational cannabis [here].
You must first obtain a doctor's certification. Massachusetts requires doctors to be certified by the state in order to provide cannabis recommendations.

Once you have a doctor's certification and have a registration number from them, you may register with the state online [here]. Once you have finished registration and you have been approved by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, you will receive your Medical Use of Marijuana Program Identification Card in the mail.
