Yes, you must be 21 or older with a valid ID to buy recreational cannabis in Connecticut.
For medical cannabis, individuals under 21 can qualify if they are certified by a licensed healthcare provider and registered with the state's Medical Marijuana Program. However, there are restrictions, and patients under 18 may have limited access to certain products.
In Connecticut, adults 21 and older can legally use cannabis in private homes, provided the property owner allows it. However, smoking or vaping is prohibited in public areas where tobacco use is banned, including parks, beaches, sidewalks, and state-owned properties.
We accept debit, cash, and Dutchie Pay, and we have an on-site ATM for convenience.

In Connecticut, registered medical marijuana patients are permitted to purchase up to 5 ounces of cannabis per month from licensed dispensaries. Unlike recreational users, medical patients are not subject to per-transaction limits, allowing them to obtain their monthly allotment as needed. This flexibility ensures patients can access the necessary amount of cannabis to manage their qualifying medical conditions effectively.
It's important to note that while patients can purchase up to 5 ounces monthly, they are allowed to possess up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis on their person at any given time. Any additional amount must be stored securely, such as in a locked container at home.
If you’re a Montville resident enrolled in the Connecticut Medical Marijuana Program, you’ll need to renew your registration every year. That means checking in with your certifying physician and submitting a renewal application through the state’s online portal. Don’t worry—it’s a pretty straightforward process, and the team at Nightjar is always here to help answer questions if you’re navigating your renewal while grabbing your favorite cannabis-derived products.
