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.

Berkshire Roots has opened for recreational marijuana sales in East Boston, becoming the city’s second adult-use store and the first in the neighborhood. Opening during the coronavirus pandemic, Berkshire Roots said a face covering or mask is required to enter the shop. Social distancing guidelines are in place inside the location and on the sidewalk, and the store is adhering to cleaning protocols required by the state, the news release said.

Berkshire Roots is headquartered in Pittsfield with a retail store and cultivation facility. There, Berkshire Roots produces branded products including flower, edibles, topicals, tinctures, capsules, concentrates and vape cartridges. The company also works with Massachusetts wholesale partners.

El CEO de este negocio, James Winokur, habló con El Planeta sobre cómo ha sido su experiencia abriendo un dispensario en una comunidad donde todavía hay mucho estigma cuando se trata del consumo medicinal o recreativo del cannabis.

Alvarado dijo que ha sido en su gran mayoría un placer ver tanto apoyo que han recibido de los negocios cercanos a Berkshire Roots y de los latinos que se han vuelto clientes leales. Haz click aqui para seguir leyendo

On Monday, East Boston’s first retail adult-use marijuana shop opened its doors on Meridian Street, and customers were already lining up to stock up on cannabis products.

“It’s great. Now I don’t have to go all the way to Brookline,” said one resident who will remain nameless. “I ordered fast and easy on the website, and selected my time. Very clean and professional. Very much like going to a bank really. There’s about half a dozen tellers in a small bank/office type setting.”
