16 licensed shops open in Boston right now, ranked on a star rating weighted by how many people actually left one. New Dia Fenway Weed Dispensary Bos leads at 4.9.
A 4.9 from 300 people is a weaker claim than a 4.8 from 7,000, so every rating here is pulled toward the Massachusetts average in proportion to how few reviews sit behind it. Both figures are printed on each entry.
71 Lansdowne St
Right by Fenway Park, this shop has a selection big enough that one visitor compared it to a candy store, and staff can get you in and out fast before a show. Shoppers mention a warm greeting at the door, and it is Black-owned with curbside pickup and delivery.

Mayflower Medical & Recreational Cannabis Dispensary - Boston
230 Harvard Ave · 877 reviews · 4.6 stars
A star average hides how many people stood behind it. Every rating is shrunk toward the Massachusetts mean in proportion to its review count, so a shop needs a high score and real volume to reach the top. The weighted figure sits next to the raw one on every entry.
Every one Google lists as open and licensed under a cannabis category at the time of the last check. Shops that had closed permanently or temporarily are dropped, as is anything that turned up in the search but sits outside Massachusetts.
Because we have not read one. Plenty of shops sell only through a third-party ordering platform that publishes nothing on their own domain, and a brand list is not worth guessing at.
Quarterly. Ratings move and shops close, and a list nobody re-checks becomes a directory of places that used to be good.
