Native Sun Dispensary in Hudson MA

Native Sun, where the Native Sun story starts

Every chain of shops has a first one, and for Native Sun Dispensary in Hudson MA it is Hudson. The store at 37 Coolidge Street is where the company opened its very first Massachusetts dispensary in 2020, and Native Sun still calls it “our flagship MetroWest location.” Since then the family has grown to South Boston and North Attleborough, but the Hudson shop is where the lights came on first.

It is also one of the easiest stops in MetroWest. Native Sun says the store is “just 2 minutes off I-495,” with a big parking lot, an express pickup counter for online orders and doors open from 8am to 10pm every day. And since 2025, it serves registered medical patients as well as adults 21 and over. Here is the story of the Hudson store and how to plan your visit.

Open since November 2020

The Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission lists 37 Coolidge St. as an active, licensed adult-use cannabis retailer, open since November 27, 2020. The state also lists an active medical license for the same address.

Patch reported that the store opened its doors to the public in early December and held its grand opening on December 10, 2020. Opening hours back then were much shorter than today’s 8am to 10pm schedule, so early fans have seen this shop grow up.

Built from scratch on Route 62

The Hudson store did not move into an old storefront. When Patch reported on the opening in December 2020, it noted that the shop “was built from scratch” on a parcel along Route 62, “directly across from the entrance to the Highland Commons shopping center.” That location puts it right next to Hudson’s busiest retail area, just off I-495, and Patch described Native Sun as the second adult-use shop in that retail hub.

Even in those early days, the company set a clear tone. Its opening announcement described “a team of passionate advocates, educated in store specialists, and experienced industry leaders,” and promised premium cannabis “alongside exceptional customer service.”

From Fitchburg to Coolidge Street

Native Sun grows its own flower. At opening, Patch reported that the company’s cannabis was produced at a 70,000 square foot growing facility in Fitchburg. Today Native Sun says its in-house lineup includes flower, pre-rolls and vapes, and the store fills out the rest of the shelves with edibles, concentrates, beverages, tinctures, topicals and CBD from other makers.

The company’s genetics guide, posted in August 2026, says its catalog “blends proprietary in-house creations with select breeder collaborations,” and those strains are available across all three Native Sun stores, including Hudson.

Medical and recreational under one roof

Here is what sets Hudson apart from the other Native Sun shops: it is dual licensed. In July 2025, Native Sun announced that the Hudson store “has officially secured its license to dispense medical marijuana,” and began serving registered patients that month alongside its adult-use customers.

The store keeps separate menus for each group. If you are a registered patient, Native Sun’s blog lays out the basics:

Get certified. Patients are evaluated by a certifying provider, either their own primary care provider or a certified telehealth visit.
Register with the state. The approval goes through the Cannabis Control Commission portal, which issues a digital certificate.
Bring both documents. On your first visit, bring a government-issued photo ID and your patient certification, printed or on your phone.

Native Sun notes that medical purchases are exempt from the state excise tax, so pricing can differ from the adult-use menu. Registered caregivers may also be able to shop for patients under state rules, so call the store for current requirements.

Friendly faces in Hudson

Reviews on the Hudson store page talk a lot about how the place feels. “This place is so welcoming and the associates are attentive,” one shopper, Laura Macneil, wrote in October 2026. Native Sun describes its Hudson team as “Highly trained, friendly team members” who can explain product profiles and how to use them. If you have a question, start there.

What’s on the menu

Native Sun Hudson covers the full range of categories:

Flower and pre-rolls, including Native Sun’s own house-grown flower
Vapes
Edibles and beverages
Concentrates
Tinctures and topicals
CBD products
Accessories

Menus change often, so look online before you go. Medical patients should use the separate medical menu.

Express pickup off 495

Hudson is built for people on the move. Order from the live menu, and Native Sun says orders are “generally ready within 15 minutes for pickup during listed store hours.” The store has a dedicated pickup area for online orders and a large on-site lot, so you can get in and back on the road quickly.

Join the Sun Club

The Sun Club is Native Sun’s loyalty program, and the Hudson page describes it as “rewards on every purchase plus access to exclusive deals and daily promotions.” Members also get the email newsletter and access to a members-only Secret Menu.

Tacos at the dispensary

Native Sun likes to share its parking lot with local businesses, and in Hudson that has meant tacos. In 2025, the store welcomed the Cielito Lindo food truck, run by Erick Guerra, whom Native Sun describes as a “proud Hudson local.” The truck is a family operation, with his wife, father and nephew helping out, and its menu ranged from birria tacos with consomé to carne asada burritos and cinnamon sugar churros. In October 2025, it parked at 37 Coolidge Street from Wednesday through Sunday. Keep an eye on the Native Sun blog for what is rolling in next.

A terpene tip from the Native Sun blog

Native Sun’s genetics guide has simple advice for anyone trying a new strain. Terpenes, it explains, “define much of the flavor, aroma, and reported customer experience of cannabis flower.” The guide suggests treating terpene data as a starting point, alongside the plant’s genetics and what you have enjoyed before. It also stresses that experiences vary from person to person.

Its practical tip for testing something new: “consider starting with 3.5 g jars or single pre-rolls to test what fits best into your lifestyle.” Small amounts, less commitment, more room to explore.

Make a day of it in Hudson

Hudson is a Middlesex County town of 20,092 people (2020 census), bordered by Bolton and Stow to the north, Marlborough to the south, Sudbury to the east and Berlin to the west. Long before English settlers arrived, Nipmuc people lived along the Assabet River, and in 1650 the land was part of the Ockookangansett Indian Plantation. The village of Gleasondale straddles the line between Hudson and Stow.

Hudson has a large and proud Portuguese community. The first known Portuguese arrival, José Maria Tavares, came in 1886, and today about one third of residents are of Portuguese birth or descent, most with roots on the Azorean island of Santa Maria. The Hudson Portuguese Club dates to 1919, and the Império Micaelense festival, the oldest of the town’s Holy Ghost feasts, traces back to 1914.

There is a tech side to town, too. Digital Equipment Corporation opened a chip plant here in 1979, and Intel later took it over. Intel’s Hudson campus still holds a research and development facility for microprocessors. Hudson even runs its own power company, Hudson Light and Power, a town-owned utility whose Cherry Street plant was up and running by 1900. Fun fact for anyone who has had an X-ray: physicist William D. Coolidge, who invented an improved X-ray tube, is among Hudson’s notable names, along with Governor Paul Cellucci, Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt and NASA astronaut Charles Precourt.

History fans should look for the Goodale Homestead on Chestnut Street, built around 1702 and the oldest surviving building in town, and the Union Church of All Faiths, a tiny wooden chapel sometimes called the smallest church in the country.

In summer, the Native Sun blog points to free Saturday evening concerts in front of Town Hall, family concerts at Wood Park by the Assabet River, the Hudson Farmers’ Market on Main Street on Tuesdays and free outdoor plays from the Hudson Classical Theater Company at Riverside Park. For food and drink near the store, Native Sun recommends Rail Trail Flatbread Co., Medusa Brewing Company, New City Microcreamery and The Landing at Hudson Mills, and Solomon Pond Mall is a short drive away.

Why Native Sun Hudson is worth the stop

Swing by and say hello.
