Five places it is super fun to get super stoned around Boston
"We know that you don’t need us to tell you that it is a good idea to smoke weed on the beach. And that it’s critical to bring a torch as opposed to a mere mortal Bic lighter. We do especially like Revere Beach for sun burning though since it’s spacious in some places, plus it’s closer to loads more solid food options than other preferred stoned tanning destinations like Wollaston Beach down in Quincy. We hope it goes without saying, but this ain’t the place to partake during busy hours with families around. The whole point of this article is to stay in the shadows, or at least far enough away from anyone who may run the risk of ruining your high.

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.
