High Profile x Budega at 43 Freeport St is Dorchester’s dispensary — and it’s run by people who have been part of this neighborhood for three decades. The Chavez family has owned and operated businesses in Boston’s communities since before cannabis was legal anywhere in Massachusetts. Now, through their Budega brand, they’ve built something that does what a bodega has always done: serve the block, serve the city, and do it right.
Massachusetts adult-use cannabis, open daily, with free on-site parking and delivery available throughout Boston. Adults 21+ with valid ID.
The name says it — Budega is a bodega built for cannabis. Brian and Jaison Chavez didn’t come to this neighborhood from the outside. They grew up running it. The family has operated neighborhood businesses here for over thirty years, including bodegas that were literally transformed into two of the three Budega dispensary locations.
Brian Chavez became the first Social Equity applicant in Boston to earn three dispensary licenses, and the brothers were the first social equity licensees in the city to successfully open all three stores. That’s not a marketing claim — it’s a matter of public record.
When you shop at Budega, you’re shopping at a dispensary that belongs to Dorchester. The profits stay local, the staff is local, and the mission is as old as the neighborhood: give people what they need, at a fair price, and treat them right.
High Profile x Budega is a Massachusetts social equity recreational dispensary co-operated by the Chavez family — longtime Dorchester neighborhood business owners — and High Profile Cannabis. "Budega" combines "bud" and "bodega," reflecting the brand's roots in Boston's neighborhood corner store culture. The Chavez brothers are the first social equity licensees in Boston to open all three permitted locations.
