In Massachusetts, cannabis access is regulated to ensure safety and compliance.
Recreational customers must be 21 or older, while medical patients need to complete the state’s registration process, including certification by a licensed physician.
Understanding these requirements helps create a legal, informed, and responsible experience.
To uphold these standards, all customers must present a valid, government-issued photo ID.
Recreational purchases require proof of age (21+), and medical purchases require both ID and a valid MMJ card (18+). IDs are checked at both entry and checkout to maintain compliance with state law and protect community trust.
Interested in medical use? You’ll need to be 18 or older and certified by a state-approved physician. Then, complete the online registration to receive your MMJ card.
This process is designed to make sure patients can safely access products that meet their needs.
Getting started as a medical user in Massachusetts is straightforward:
Innovation fuels everything we create, and standout products like Gasteroids and Space Dust prove it.
Gasteroids elevate flower with infused cannabinoids for deeper flavor and stronger effects.
Space Dust offers a potent, easy-to-dose concentrate that suits both seasoned consumers and curious newcomers.
To get the most out of either:
For medical use only. This product may cause impairment and may be habit-forming. Do not operate a vehicle or machinery under the influence. Keep out of reach of children.
We want you to feel confident and informed every time you visit Sanctuary. That’s why we offer clear, accessible resources on everything from cannabinoids like THC and CBD to innovations like Gasteroids.
Have questions? Our in-store team is always ready with honest answers and real knowledge. We’re here to help you explore, learn, and find what fits your lifestyle.
Community support isn’t just a seasonal campaign at Sanctuary; it’s part of who we are. You’ll see this especially during Pride Month, when we actively uplift local LGBTQ+ initiatives and spotlight diverse voices in the cannabis space.
Every year, Sanctuary reinforces its commitment to inclusivity by supporting LGBTQ+ organizations, partnering with diverse brands, and showing up for the community in meaningful ways.
When you visit, you’ll find:
Joining a dispensary’s loyalty club means you earn points with every purchase. Those points translate into real rewards, like early access to new products.
Many programs—including Sanctuary’s—are designed to benefit both medical and recreational customers, enhancing your experience every step of the way.
At Sanctuary, loyalty means more than rewards—it’s about community, education, and meaningful experiences. From seminars to local outreach, our events offer insight and connection.
Here’s how to make the most of it:
Yes, Sanctuary rigorously tests all products in third-party labs for potency, cannabinoid content, and contaminants like pesticides, heavy metals, and microbes. We prioritize transparency, providing lab results so you can trust the safety, consistency, and quality of every product you purchase.
Only ADA-compliant service animals are permitted inside our dispensaries. This ensures a safe, sanitary environment for everyone. If you’re visiting with a service animal, our staff will respectfully assist you while maintaining full compliance with state regulations.
Cash is the most commonly accepted form of payment, and many of our dispensaries have ATMs on-site. Our locations also offer debit card processing via cashless ATM systems. Credit cards aren’t accepted, so it’s best to come prepared or call ahead to confirm what’s available.
