Let’s be honest: half the fun of visiting JDM Cannabis is the drive here. Whether you’re coming from the city or just across the Rhode Island border, Mendon is a hidden gem of rolling hills, farm stands, and classic New England charm.
If you’re planning to stop by our shop, why not make a day of it? Here is our curated guide to the perfect “High-Vibe” Saturday in Mendon.
1. Morning: Elevated Hiking at Cormier Woods
Before the afternoon sun gets too high, head over to Cormier Woods. It’s just a few minutes from the dispensary and offers some of the most peaceful trails in the area.
- The Vibe: Ancient stone walls, old homestead foundations, and lush fern gullies.
- The Pairing: A balanced 1:1 CBD/THC gummy or a light Sativa pre-roll. It’s the perfect way to sharpen your senses for birdwatching or just appreciating the vibrant spring greenery.
2. Afternoon: A Pit Stop at JDM Cannabis
After your hike, swing by and see us. If you haven’t been in lately, our “Fresh Drops” shelf is currently loaded with local Massachusetts craft flower.
- Pro Tip: Mention you’re headed to the Drive-In later, and our budtenders can recommend a “low-and-slow” edible that will keep you cozy through a double feature.
3. Sunset: The Iconic Mendon Twin Drive-In
You can’t talk about Mendon without mentioning the Twin Drive-In. It’s one of the last of its kind and a total local treasure.
- The Setup: Grab your blankets, your favorite snacks (pro tip: their popcorn is elite), and settle in under the stars.
- The Vibe: There is nothing quite like a summer blockbuster viewed from the bed of a truck or a lawn chair.
- Safety First: Remember, while we love the drive-in, Massachusetts law requires you to enjoy your cannabis on private property. Set the mood before you head out or wait until you’re tucked in at home after the show!
