What to do in the Berkshires this Memorial Day Weekend
"With world-class options for hiking, art, music, and locally sourced, brewed, and grown food, drink, and cannabis, the Berkshires offer plenty of opportunities for an inspiring and rejuvenating holiday weekend only a short drive away from the Hudson Valley and New York City."
The Best Recreational Weed Dispensaries in and Around Boston
"Pittsfield stands proudly as the highest town in Massachusetts, given it boasts two different recreational dispensaries when most Massachusetts towns can’t even claim one (Temescal Wellness is the other). Berkshire Roots happens to showcase the largest growing operation in Western Mass, as evidenced by robust flower selection. They also have pre-rolls and a strong lineup of concentrates as well as gummies, chocolates, and four different tinctures all made in-house. All that plus the space is so calming and modern you’ll feel like you’ve walked into an REI (but better)."

PITTSFIELD — 420.
Isn’t that the ideal temperature for smoking cannabis?
Or is it a hidden meaning in a classic Bob Dylan song?...
For cannabis aficionados, the allure of any dispensary always will be the release of new products. For 420, Berkshire Roots will unveil a half dozen newly minted products, including Ensemble Oil — an edible full-extract cannabis oil that uses the whole plant as its base, also known as full-spectrum; a line of in-house, strain-specific kief; and three new cannabis Berkshire Roots grown strains, including Great White Shark, an indica-dominant flower. The dispensary is also adding the Garcia Hand-Picked line of cannabis products to the menu, which is sourced in Massachusetts.
