MAC

Mass Alternative Care began its journey in 2018 as a family-owned cannabis enterprise rooted in Western Massachusetts. Founded with a deep passion for the plant and a commitment to quality, MAC emerged from a family where cannabis had played an intricate role in their lives for many years.The company quickly established itself as a vertically-integrated operation, building a state-of-the-art cultivation facility in Chicopee and opening their flagship dispensary in Amherst. What started as a local medical cannabis provider has evolved into one of Western Massachusetts' premier recreational and medical cannabis destinations.Over the years, MAC has achieved significant milestones, including multiple awards for their flower quality, notably winning recognition for their Z Animal x Bully Kush strain at The Harvest Cup in Worcester. They've expanded their facility, introduced biodegradable packaging, and developed multiple branded product lines. From their humble beginnings to becoming a trusted name in Massachusetts cannabis, MAC has remained true to their mission of helping cannabis plants reach their fullest genetic potential.

Mass Alternative Care operates two key locations in Western Massachusetts: their cultivation facility in Chicopee and their dispensary in Amherst, conveniently located off I-91 and Route 9. As a vertically-integrated, seed-to-sale operation, MAC specializes in small-batch cultivation where every flower is carefully selected and hand-trimmed at their Chicopee facility.Their comprehensive product portfolio includes their signature "well-fed flower," along with three distinct branded lines: MACart vaporizers, MAC Melts concentrates, and SMACS edibles. MAC maintains strict quality standards, using only premium bud for their prerolls and excluding shake or trim from their products.Beyond their own cultivation, MAC also curates products from other Massachusetts companies, giving customers access to a diverse selection from across the state. They've pioneered sustainable practices in the industry, implementing bio-resin packaging that biodegrades years faster than standard cannabis packaging while maintaining an airtight seal for freshness. Serving both medical patients and recreational consumers 21+, MAC accepts cash and debit cards for customer convenience.
