Six years ago, a patient made the first legal purchase of cannabis in the SouthCoast. “It was an emotional time,” reminisced Chapman Dickerson, CEO of Bask. “Patients were so relieved that their medicine was finally legal and available where they lived. We got lots of hugs.”
Bask made history by opening its doors to medical patients in February 2018, becoming the very first cannabis dispensary on the SouthCoast of Massachusetts. Building on this milestone, in February 2021, Bask extended its services to include recreational customers, allowing adults aged 21 and older to experience the benefits of the team’s knowledge and safe access to cannabis products.
Since 2018, Bask has taken pride in offering exceptional products and top-tier customer service to medical patients and recreational consumers. Through the years, Bask has increased cultivation with the addition of the Bask greenhouse, expanded into wholesale, launched numerous products, and has seen celebrities walk through its doors.
As a locally-owned company, Bask is committed to helping the SouthCoast community. Over the years Bask has partnered with Operation Clean Sweep, helping to clean up over 6,000 pounds of trash from neighborhoods and beaches. Bask has also worked with Mission 22, participating in events that help obtain resources for Veterans and their families, and held numerous drives benefiting the Veterans Association of Bristol County and PAACA of New Bedford, providing food and warmth to those in need.
Last year, Bask received several accolades, including 3 SouthCoast Community Choice Awards, where Bask was named Best Dispensary, Best Alternative Medicine, and Top Employer (101-500 Employees).
To celebrate this milestone, on Friday, February 16th, and Saturday the 17th, Bask will have special deals, exclusive swag giveaways, and pop-ups from crowd-favorite brands including Fernway, Kiva, Howls Tincture, SunDrift, and more.
