Getting there

Broadway and Andrew on the Red Line plus local bus routes serve the residential core. Seaport-bound routes are different, so verify the store address before choosing transit.

Dorchester Heights · Castle Island

Castle Island, beaches, sidewalks, and parks are public places; purchasing nearby does not make outdoor consumption legal.

Store details

Massachusetts c.94G §13 · Boston Public Health Commission

Public use and enforcement

Up to $100 civil penalty under state law

Massachusetts law prohibits consuming cannabis in a public place and allows a civil penalty of up to $100. Boston identifies parks, sidewalks, bars, and restaurants as public places.

What we can actually say about enforcement

Boston Police event advisories say public marijuana consumption is illegal and describe increased patrols during major events. That supports event-specific caution, not a claim that one neighborhood tickets more than another.

Neighborhood ticket data

No official, neighborhood-resolved cannabis citation series was found in the reviewed city and police sources as of August 26, 2026. We therefore do not publish a ticket count or label police activity as high or low here.

Evidence boundary

Why there is no 'busiest store' ranking

Menu volume, Google review counts, and map clicks are not foot traffic. No auditable store-level Boston traffic source is available, so the site does not guess.

How this page shows its work

The legal roster, storefront identity, menu comparison, and neighborhood context remain separate evidence lanes. Missing menu data stays missing; it is never converted to zero or used to rank a store.
