Frequently asked questions.
+ Why should you choose Hempest Dispensary to be your goto Northampton dispensary?
The Hempest Dispensary is owned and operated by locals who were in the cannabis industry before there was a cannabis industry. The Hempest was founded in 1995 to push cannabis legalization in Massachusetts and have successfully educated thousands about this amazing plant. At The Hempest Dispensary, we strive to make the world better with cannabis and won’t stop the fight until we have full federal legalization. If our government only listens to big business, then we are going to make cannabis big business! So if you are looking for the best dispensary near you, you just found it.
+ What is the history of The Hempest Dispensary?
Before the legal cannabis industry, pot shops and dispensaries existed, a business called The Hempest opened its doors to the public in 1995, offering only products made from the cannabis plant. In fact, The Hempest existed to change minds and change cannabis laws to pave the way towards a legal cannabis industry. By 2001, The Hempest had spread into Northampton with the goal of turning Massachusetts into the first legal cannabis state on the East Coast complete with dispensaries and adult use recreational stores.
+ When did The Hempest Dispensary start selling recreational cannabis?
The Hempest Dispensary opened in 2020 at our Northampton location and we made our first legal sale of cannabis that contained THC. During prohibition The Hempest could only legally sell imported cannabis products without THC. Now that the stigma has been removed, we invite locals as well as travelers from New York, Connecticut and Vermont to check out our menu at HempestDispensary.com and visit some of the original cannabis freedom fighters in Massachusetts at The Hempest Dispensary.
