Cannabis is all over the news these days. Government reclassification of medical cannabis from schedule 1 to schedule 3, more states adopting recreational cannabis, and of course, it’s almost outdoor planting season in New England. Which brings us to the main point of this essay. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has recently increased it’s daily purchase limits for recreational users. That’s right. More flower, more vapes, more concentrates, more edibles, and more pre-rolls per person, per visit.
Whether you’re coming out to Western Mass to shop at the Lee Premium Outlets or take in a dance performance at Jacobs Pillow, make sure to stop by Himalayan High before or after your day’s plans. With the new allotment regulations, you can now get up to 2 ounces of flower or pre-rolls, 1000 mg of drinks or edibles, 10 grams worth of vapes or concentrates, or 10,000mg worth of tinctures. That’s a lot.
For travelers coming to the Berkshires from New York or Connecticut, this makes your drive even more worth while. You already make the trek out to us because the prices, selection, and quality we offer at Himalayan High are far, far superior to what your home states have on the shelves. You tell us so every time you walk in the door and speak with out bud tenders. You express your dissatisfaction with the cannabis scene in those other states with your words and wallets. Many of you have learned that filling the car with gas and making an hour drive out to see us in Becket to buy your daily max of premium cannabis is still a better value, with better service, than driving 10 minutes down the street to your local Connecticut dispensary. We get it. I shopped for a single pre-roll in a Hamden, CT dispensary before hiking the Sleeping Giant a while ago, and it was an unpleasant, unsatisfying experience. The joint was overpriced, the décor of the retail store was boring and sterile, and the dude behind the counter was less than useless. I won’t go back to that dispensary for all the reasons our guests explain to us. That’s why so many of you out-of-state folks come to see us. And you tell us so, in no uncertain terms. We appreciate your loyalty more than we can put into words.
So, if you’re driving northwest from Connecticut, or NY, heading towards any of the museums in Stockbridge or Pittsfield, like the Naumkeag Museum, the Rockwell Museum, the Berkshire Museum, or the Botanical Gardens, pop in to see us. Some gummies might make that cultural experience a little more enjoyable. For you fishermen getting out of the big city for a weekend to cast some lines in our seemingly endless supply of lakes, rivers, and streams, maybe some infused pre-rolls or a vape cart might be more up your alley. For you summer home people coming up to get the property ready for vacation season, now is the time to fill the fridge at the cottage with drinks and load up the cabinets with bud, so you’re prepared for company. We see lots of folks driving by to pick up and drop off their kids at college, whether in Ithaca, Troy, Syracuse, Rennselaer and other college towns. What better time to buy a 4-pack or even a case of Levia 5mg infused seltzers. Stock the fridge or fill the cooler with a better, healthier option than alcohol. With the new laws, you can stock up and buy more than you could have two weeks ago. Win-win. At Himalayan, we always have deals and features going on to help you save on every shopping cart.
Many of our regular customers travel to this part of the Commonwealth on a regular basis to visit us and refill their cannabis coffers already. Now, they can buy more and make that trip even more efficient and practical. Maybe an ounce of Perpetual flower, two 4-packs of Levia seltzer, a half-dozen pre-rolls, and one each of sativa and indica disposable vapes. That would have been two trips before, now that can all be done in a single order. With our lowest in the area prices, best in the area service, and well-curated selection in every possible category, you’re bound to find everything you’re looking for at Himalayan High. You’re now able to bring even more goodies home with you.
