Avoid cross-border transport of cannabis products. Do not assume informal tolerance equals legality.
Law Enforcement
Quincy cops seemed more focused on other things, but were said to take the weed and tell you to move on if they caught you. Undercover officers were showing up more often, especially around visible deals. Grafton Street in the Point seemed to have cops around all the time, sometimes a detective. Massachusetts has since introduced regulated adult use, as covered in Marijuana Laws.
Where to Buy Marijuana
Downtown had smokers going about their day, and Copeland Street came up in West Quincy. Germantown’s housing projects mostly had mids, with the occasional good bag. A street meeting could turn into a robbery, and people wary of police didn’t trust somebody who came across as nervous.
Marijuana Prices
- Mids: US$10 per gram, US$30–35 per ⅛ oz, US$50 per ¼ oz, US$70–75 per ½ oz or US$120–150 per oz
- Other grades: about US$20 per gram, with larger quantities varying
Types of Marijuana
Most mids were pretty good. There was a range if you knew people, and hardly anyone bothered selling grams of dirt.

The dollar amount alone didn’t tell you how full the bag would be.
