Our dispensary offers a curated line-up of distinctive, quality cannabis for every budget, selling only products we consume and personally enjoy, from cultivators we know and trust.

For our in-house lines, we craft limited drops that are unique and intentional - each handmade with care to identify and savor the highest expression of the trichomes.

Solventless

Sweetgrass’ in-house lines of concentrates, cartridges, edibles and topicals are powered by our state-of-the-art solventless extraction workshop, designed and operated by award-winning hashmaker Ben McCabe. 

Using using only water, ice, pressure and heat, we produce pure and potent solventless hash varieties representing the natural, unadulterated terpene and cannabinoid profile cultivated by the growers.

Only top-shelf product can be used for solventless - and we work closely with our grow partners across the state to identify and process distinctive cultivars where its plant-forward characteristics will bring you a unique, rewarding experience.

Kitchen

Sweetgrass crafts unique infused, handmade edibles using our in-house solventless hash oil, plus all-natural and organic ingredients. 

Operated by our Founder, Cassandra Purdy, a chef and writer/translator with 30+ years’ experience in both the culinary and cannabis communities, her unique, chef-driven  approach brings a new expression of quality cannabis comestibles to the Berkshires.

Therapeutics

Our network of herbalists, holistic practitioners and cannabis experts have all conferred on the development of our line of topicals and tinctures.

As with all our in-house products, the therapeutic line is exclusively powered by pure and potent solventless hash produced in our own on-site lab. Our hope is to treat your body to a full-spectrum, chemical-free experience

  • All of our cannabis inventory comes from cultivators in Massachusetts. We have put time and effort into sourcing from producers that match our stringent standards of quality and freshness.

  • Under Massachusetts state law, you may purchase up to 1 ounce of flower, 5 grams of concentrates, or 500mg of edibles per person per day. You may purchase a combination of all three, so long as in aggregate you do not exceed the daily limit.

    For instance: purchasing 50% of the daily limit for two categories (e.g. ½ ounce flower + 2.5g of concentrates) would max out your daily allowance. To make another purchase, e.g. edibles, you would need to offset by purchasing less flower or concentrates.

    But rest easy: we do the math for you in our system and will let you know if you are reaching your limits.

  • Any government-issued ID attesting that the customer is over the age of 21 is acceptable to enter Sweetgrass Botanicals.

An individual may receive a civil penalty of up to $500 for having an open container of marijuana in the passenger area of a vehicle while on the road or at a place where the public has access. Store marijuana in a closed container and place it in the trunk or a locked glove compartment.

    Please note it is illegal to cross state lines with cannabis. It is also against the law to transport cannabis on a plane, train, boat or other mode of transportation outside of Massachusetts.

  • Cannabis can be consumed on private property. Smoking, vaping, or eating cannabis is prohibited in public places or on federal land. Consuming cannabis anywhere on our premises, inside or outside, is not allowed.
