Here are some of the most popular items from legal marijuana’s first year — and a sneak peak of what’s coming
From pre-rolled joints to olive oil, Massachusetts's pot shops really offer it all.
We caught up with various pot shops around the state one year after legal recreational marijuana was first sold to see which products they can’t seem to keep in stock. (Flower is still the most popular buy all around, it seems.)
We also found out whether they have anything exciting they’re planning to release during year two.

Most popular products:
- Cannabis flower
- Satvia: Orange Chemeleon, Vortex
- Indica: Congolese Kush, OGKB 2.0 BX

Coming soon:
- Planning to re-introduce some “old favorites,” including Redvine Jackie and Lavender X Clementine strains
- Berries ‘n Cream and Orange Creamsicle gummies
- More chocolate bars, including ones with marshmallows and peppermint candy inside

Coming soon:
- Rositano said to look out for NETA’s fine mist inhaler, which currently can’t be sold because of Massachusetts’s vape ban. “It’s a fast onset, it’s discreet, and it’s a really effective way to use cannabis for a lot of people,” she said.
