Green N Go Dispensary in Uxbridge MA

Green N Go, built for people on the move

The name says it all. Green N’ Go, at 454 Quaker Highway in Uxbridge, is set up for shoppers who want quality cannabis without a lot of waiting around. Order online, drive over, grab your bag and get on with your day. This guide covers what to know about Green N Go Dispensary in Uxbridge MA.

The shop sits just off Route 146, a short drive from the Rhode Island border, which makes it an easy stop for people from Southern Massachusetts, Northern Rhode Island and Connecticut alike. And the neighborhood comes with a bonus: some of the oldest Quaker history in the Blackstone Valley is just down the road. Here is what to know before you go.

Open since August 2022

The Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission lists 454 Quaker Highway as an active, licensed adult-use cannabis retailer, open since August 29, 2022.

That gives Green N Go a few years of serving the Blackstone Valley, long enough to build a following among locals and road trippers coming up Route 146.

Why it started

Green N Go tells its origin story in one simple idea. The company says it was founded because its founders were tired of cannabis that did not deliver the effects they were looking for. So they set out to do better, and the focus ever since has been on what goes onto the shelves. “We focus on sourcing the highest-quality products available,” the website says, with the goal of offering them at competitive prices.

The mission on the About page is short and friendly: “At Green N’ Go, our mission is to provide exceptional cannabis products while fostering a sense of community.” The store says it aims to pair quality with education and personalized service, and it invites shoppers from Uxbridge and the surrounding towns to stop in.

Right on the Quaker Highway

Location is a big part of the Green N Go story. The store is on Route 146A, which locals know as the Quaker Highway, less than three miles south of Uxbridge’s center. It sits between two local landmarks, the Quaker Tavern restaurant and the Quaker Inn and Conference Center, so it is easy to spot.

Getting here is simple. Route 146 runs right past, and Green N Go is just off it. The store’s location page notes ample parking, so you will not be circling the lot.

Quick pickup is the whole idea

Green N Go is built around speed. Shop the online menu, place your order for in-store pickup, and head over whenever it suits you. In a blog post about pickup, the store says “we can usually have your pickup ready in as little as 5 to 15 minutes.” That is fast enough to order before you leave the house and walk in to a bag that is ready to go.

Prefer to browse in person? That works too. Green N Go says its budtenders are there to guide you through the options, and the website promises education and personalized service.

What’s on the menu

The Green N Go menu covers all the main categories:

Flower
Pre-rolls and blunts
Vapes and cartridges
Edibles
Concentrates
Tinctures
Topicals
Merchandise and accessories

The menu changes often. Check the weekly specials page before you go, since deals rotate and there is usually something new to try.

Loyalty and deals

Green N Go runs a loyalty program along with regular promotions. You can sign up in the store or online to get deal updates and earn rewards on your purchases. If you plan to come back, it is worth joining on your first visit.

The weekly specials section of the website is the other place to look. Green N Go has a whole deals page, and it is the easiest way to see what is on sale before you drive over.

Neighbors from three states

Because it sits so close to the state line, Green N Go sees plenty of out-of-state visitors. The store welcomes adults 21 and over with a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, passport or state-issued ID card.

Just remember the rules once you have shopped. Green N Go’s FAQ is direct about it: “It is illegal to transport cannabis products across state borders.” Its post for Connecticut visitors gives the same warning and suggests buying and enjoying your products in Massachusetts. If you are staying overnight, the store also recommends checking with your hotel or rental host before using cannabis on their property.

Gift ideas from the Green N Go blog

The Green N Go blog covers everything from local outings to holiday shopping. One favorite is its guide to building a cannabis gift basket for a friend who is 21 or older. Here are some of its best ideas, with no brand names needed:

Start with flower. An eighth or two of their favorite strain, plus rolling papers if you are giving loose flower.
Add pre-rolls. A couple of different styles are convenient and look great in a basket.
Go low dose on edibles. Candy-style chews with a smaller dose per piece let them take one at a time.
Use a rolling tray as the base. Trays range from playful to fancy, and one can hold the whole basket together with some ribbon.
Toss in a drink. Canned infused sodas are the right size for a basket.
Finish with snacks. Chips, pretzels or a local restaurant gift card for later.
Think about giving back. The post suggests a donation in their name to a nonprofit that helps people imprisoned for cannabis offenses.

The blog’s verdict: a well-built basket is “the gift that keeps on giving.”

Make a day of it in Uxbridge

Uxbridge is a Worcester County town of 14,162 people (2020 census), covering about 30.4 square miles in the heart of the Blackstone Valley. It is less a single town than a string of villages, each with its own mill story. Hecla and Wheelockville were home to the Waucantuck Mill and other factories. North Uxbridge had an 1810 cotton mill, the Rivulet Mill and a granite quarry. Ironstone was the site of a cotton mill that later made Kentucky Blue Jeans. Uxbridge Center is home to the Capron Mill, and Linwood and South Uxbridge round out the map.

You do not have to go far from Green N Go for history. Just up the road at 479 Quaker Highway, at the corner of Route 98, stands the Friends Meetinghouse, a two-story brick meetinghouse built in 1770 with bricks from a brickyard across the street. It was built with separate entrances and meeting areas for men and women, and it joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Quakers who came to Uxbridge from Smithfield, Rhode Island, built mills, railroads and houses across town, and the road itself carries their name.

The meetinghouse also has a place in the fight against slavery. The abolitionist Abby Kelley Foster called it her church home until the Uxbridge Meeting disowned her in 1841, and Effingham Capron, another member, led a local anti-slavery society of about 450 people. Uxbridge was a junction on the Underground Railroad.

Then there is the water. The Blackstone Canal once carried horse-drawn barges through Uxbridge all the way to Providence, until the Providence and Worcester Railroad ended canal traffic in 1848. Today the river has been restored, the town holds part of the 1,000-acre Blackstone River and Canal Heritage State Park, and about 9 miles of the Blackstone River Greenway pass through Uxbridge. Green N Go’s own location page points visitors to the park on Oak Street for hiking, biking and walking along the old canals. The store’s blog adds that you can kayak or canoe the river or fish from the shore.

Route 146, the town’s one freeway, has also turned Uxbridge into a busy logistics hub, with big distribution centers along the corridor. For a classic night out, the Green N Go blog suggests the Mendon Twin Drive-In, a few miles away in Mendon, one of the few classic drive-ins left in Massachusetts, with two screens and room for up to 800 cars. On a hot day, it points to Breezy Picnic Grounds and Waterslides on Whitin Reservoir in Douglas, and skaters can check out the Uxbridge Skate Park.

Why Green N Go is worth the stop

A shop founded by people who wanted better cannabis. Pickup that can be ready in as little as 5 to 15 minutes. A spot on the Quaker Highway, just off Route 146, with a 1770 meetinghouse up the road and the Blackstone Canal a short drive away. Green N Go keeps things quick and easy, and leaves you plenty of time to explore.

Cannabis is for adults 21 and over. Please consume responsibly.
