Smyth Cannabis Dispensary in Framingham MA

Smyth Cannabis, open late on Worcester Road

Need a dispensary that is still open after dinner? Smyth Cannabis Dispensary in Framingham MA keeps its doors open until 10pm every night of the week. The shop at 85 Worcester Road sits on Route 9, a short hop from Shoppers World, and it sells flower that Smyth grows, cures and hand-trims itself.

Smyth is a Massachusetts grower with three flagship stores, in Lowell, Tewksbury and Framingham. Framingham is its MetroWest home. Here is what to know about the store, the company and how to make the most of a visit.

Open since May 2025

The Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission lists 85 Worcester Road as an active, licensed adult-use cannabis retailer, open since May 13, 2025.

You may notice that the state’s licensing data shows two retailer rows at this address. The older one, with an open date of March 30, 2022, belonged to a different retailer and is now marked surrendered. The active row, open since May 13, 2025, is the one for the store you can visit today, Smyth Cannabis Framingham.

Grown by Smyth, sold by Smyth

Smyth is a grower first. The company says it grows its flower in a 15,000 square foot facility, then cures it properly and hand-trims it in small batches, which is how it keeps quality steady from one harvest to the next. Everything on the Smyth menu is described as locally grown and lab-tested.

Smyth’s stated goal is to deliver “the premium adult-use cannabis experience,” from the moment you walk in to the moment you enjoy what you bought. Its flower also reaches shelves at other dispensaries through wholesale, but the Framingham store is one of only three places where Smyth runs the whole show.

Easy to find, easy to park

Getting to 85 Worcester Road is simple. Smyth’s own directions bring drivers off the Mass Pike at Exit 117 onto Route 30 toward Framingham, then along Shoppers World Drive and Ring Road to Worcester Road, where the store is on the left. Once you arrive, Smyth says free onsite parking is available.

The store is also listed as wheelchair accessible and LGBTQ+ friendly, so everyone gets the same easy welcome.

Three ways to shop

Smyth keeps shopping flexible:

Walk in. Come by any time during business hours. Smyth no longer takes appointments, so there is nothing to book.
Use a kiosk. In-store kiosks let you browse the menu and place your order on your own, at your own pace.
Talk to a budtender. Prefer a person? A budtender can place your order for you and give personal recommendations.

You can also order online for in-store pickup. Smyth notes that pickup time slots are limited, so order early on busy days.

A menu that moves fast

Smyth sells flower, pre-rolls, edibles and concentrates. The company says its menu changes several times a day as products sell out and new ones come in, so the online Framingham menu is the best place to check what is on the shelf right now.

Paying at Smyth

Smyth is upfront about payment, which saves surprises at the register:

Cash is accepted, and there is an ATM on site. The ATM charges a $2.99 fee.
Debit cards are accepted, with a $2.99 fee on debit transactions of any amount.
Credit cards of any kind are not accepted.
Visa gift cards work only if they can be used for ATM cash withdrawals.

Smyth does not sell gift cards right now. Returns are accepted within 30 days with a receipt, for defective products only, at the manager’s discretion.

Know before you go: taxes

One tip from the Smyth blog that every new shopper should hear: menu prices often do not include tax. In its guide to the dos and don’ts of visiting a Massachusetts dispensary, Smyth explains that recreational purchases carry the 6.25% state sales tax, a 10.75% marijuana excise tax and up to 3% in local tax, which adds up to roughly 20%. Budget for it and the total at checkout will not catch you off guard.

The same guide offers a few more handy pointers. Expect to show your ID more than once, since staff may check it at different points in your visit. And leave the kids at home: no one under 21 may be on a recreational dispensary’s premises at all, including waiting outside or in the car.

Tips from the Smyth blog: spotting quality flower

Smyth’s post on red flags that help you spot bad weed is a quick lesson in reading a bud before you buy it. A few of its pointers:

Dull brown color. Flower that looks dried out and mostly brown is likely stale. Smyth’s tip for keeping your own flower fresh: “Remember to keep it air tight and away from light.”
Gray or white spots. Learn the difference between trichomes, the clear crystals that hold cannabinoids, and powdery mildew.
A webby texture. A fine, spiderweb-like texture when you pull a bud apart can be a sign of mold.
Lots of stems and leaves. They hold very few cannabinoids and mostly add weight to what you are paying for.

Tips from the Smyth blog: what is in your vape

Shopping for a vape? Smyth’s guide to distillate and live resin vapes lays out the difference. “Cannabis distillate is a refined cannabinoid oil free of taste, smell and flavor,” the post explains. Terpenes are added back afterward, so a distillate vape can be flavored to mimic a strain. Live resin starts with fresh plants that are flash-frozen instead of cured, which keeps more of the plant’s own terpenes, so it tends to taste closer to the flower and usually costs more.

No points program, but a good mailing list

Smyth says plainly that it does not run a rewards program. Instead, it has a mailing list that shares new product launches, strain updates and special pricing. Sign up if you want to hear about Framingham drops first.

A company that pitches in

Smyth’s community work runs across its stores. The company says it has sponsored and volunteered at a neighborhood trash cleanup, supported a hospital cancer-care walk and Pride Month events, run a necessities drive for a local homeless shelter, raised nearly 150 pounds of food for a regional food bank and hosted two career fairs.

Make a day of it in Framingham

Framingham is a Middlesex County city of 72,362 people (2020 census), spread over about 26.5 square miles. Its story as a European settlement started small: John Stone set up the first farm on the west bank of the Sudbury River in 1647.

The city has a long record as a place that makes things. Aaron Lufkin Dennison founded Dennison Manufacturing in 1844, a company that later merged into Avery Dennison in 1990. When the railroad arrived, South Framingham grew into a commercial center, home to Dennison and to the General Motors Framingham Assembly plant, which closed in the late 1980s.

For a walk through the old center, head to the Framingham Centre Common Historic District, where Route 9 meets Route 30. Framingham State University dominates this part of town, and the Framingham campus of Massachusetts Bay Community College is in the city too. North of the center, the village of Nobscot sits near Nobscot Hill.

Framingham took its time becoming a city. Voters turned down city status in 1993, 1997 and 2013 before approving a charter in April 2017, and Framingham became a city on January 1, 2018, with Yvonne M. Spicer as its first mayor. Local news comes from The MetroWest Daily News, a daily paper based in Framingham, and Framingham High School’s student station produces Flyer News, which has won 11 National High School Emmy Awards.
