Where Quality Roots operates

About Quality Roots

Quality Roots is an adult-use cannabis retailer with 10 stores listed in this directory, nine in Michigan and one in New Jersey. The Michigan stores are concentrated in metro Detroit, in Berkley, Hamtramck, Madison Heights, Pontiac and Waterford Township, and extend to Corunna, Battle Creek, Kalamazoo and Monroe; the New Jersey store is on Route 70 in Marlton. Rather than centering on a house brand, the shelves mix a wide range of Michigan and national producers across flower, pre-rolls and infused pre-rolls, vapes and disposables, concentrates including hash and rosin, and edibles.

Promotions are a large part of how the chain presents itself, with rotating multi-buy and brand-specific offers posted on its website, and a fresh drops section highlights newly arrived products. Shoppers must be 21 or older with a valid ID. Orders can be placed online ahead of a visit for in-store pickup, which shortens the stop for anyone who already knows what they want, and staff can walk newer shoppers through the product categories.

Our story

Pure Oasis holds the historic distinction of being Boston's first recreational cannabis dispensary and the first Black-owned dispensary in Massachusetts. Opening in early 2020 (just before COVID lockdowns), the store carries significant historical weight and has been embraced by its community. Founded as both a business opportunity and social experiment to see if cannabis revenue could benefit Boston's inner cities, which traditionally haven't benefited from the city's billions in revenue.

Mission

To inspire others by demonstrating that community members can be successful business people while changing the economic dynamics of inner-city Boston. They aim to provide a user-friendly experience with knowledgeable staff and high-quality products while serving as a trailblazer for cannabis legalization and social equity.

Why we love this dispensary

Pure Oasis operates multiple Boston locations (Dorchester, Downtown), holds historic significance as firsts in recreational and Black ownership, offers comprehensive product selection including flower, concentrates, edibles, and accessories, maintains convenient downtown and community locations, and represents successful social equity in cannabis. They operate in prime Boston locations including Downtown Crossing.
