What Makes Northeast Alternatives Different?

Massachusetts has no shortage of options, but every brand has its own story. At Dris, we like giving you a closer look at the brands behind the products on our menu, and Northeast Alternatives is one with deep roots right here in the Commonwealth.

With locations in Fall River, Seekonk and New Bedford, Massachusetts, Northeast Alternatives has grown from a local dispensary into a recognizable name in the state's cannabis community. But what exactly makes NEA different?

It Starts with Massachusetts Roots

Northeast Alternatives opened its Fall River location in 2018 for medical patients and expanded to serve adult-use customers in 2019.

Since then, the company has remained rooted in Massachusetts, serving both medical and adult-use customers while developing a lineup of products produced within the state's regulated market.

For Dris customers, that means another opportunity to discover a brand that's part of the same Massachusetts community we serve.

A Hands-On Approach

One thing that stands out about Northeast Alternatives is its involvement throughout the production process.

NEA operates cultivation and manufacturing facilities in the South Coast, allowing the company to oversee multiple stages of production, from cultivation through manufacturing and packaging.

That level of involvement gives the brand greater visibility into how its products are made before they reach the shelf.

Plenty to Explore

Different customers have different preferences, and Northeast Alternatives offers products across a range of categories.

Depending on current availability, you may find NEA flower, pre-rolls, edibles, concentrates and vapes on the Dris menu.

Already know what you like? You can keep an eye out for familiar favorites. Still figuring out your preferences? Exploring different formats, product information and potency levels can help you make a more informed choice.

As always, read labels carefully, pay attention to serving sizes and potency, and consume responsibly.
