Are there purchase limits for how much cannabis I can buy?

Pre-rolls: You can buy up to 14 pre-rolls that weigh 1 gram each, or 28 pre-rolls that weigh 0.5 grams each.
Vapes: You can buy between 4 to 8 vape cartridges, depending on whether they’re 0.5g or 1g in size.
Edibles: Each serving can contain up to 5 milligrams of THC. The total amount you can purchase will vary by product type and size.
Mix & Match: You can also combine different products, as long as their total equals no more than 1/2 ounce of flower or its equivalent.

Do I need to be a medical marijuana patient to shop at Higher Collective?

No, Higher Collective is an adult-use establishment. As long as you are 21 years or older with a valid government-issued ID, you can purchase cannabis at any of our locations. We are not licensed to carry medical products or honor medical cards.

How often is your live menu updated?

Each store’s menu is live and updated in real time to reflect the current inventory available.

Why don’t you call yourselves a dispensary?

While most people might refer to any cannabis store as a “dispensary,” the terminology we use is guided by Connecticut’s cannabis regulations. Since Higher Collective is exclusively an adult-use establishment, we are classified as a cannabis retail store or cannabis shop.

In Connecticut, the term “dispensary” is reserved for medical cannabis dispensaries or stores with hybrid licenses, which serve both medical patients and adult-use customers. By adhering to these rules, we ensure that we’re fully compliant with state guidelines while continuing to provide a welcoming and inclusive experience for all adult-use customers.
