Who
We Are

Here at NEW LEAF, our mission is simple: to open the door to possibility as you experience your unique cannabis journey.

Our job is to create a welcoming, positive space filled with the best array of high-quality cannabis products available in Massachusetts.

Our Story

In 2014 Peter was given the diagnosis of osteoarthritis of the hips – a debilitating and degenerative condition. In 2017, a wheelchair-bound Peter took a trip to Israel, where he prayed and asked for healing. He promised his Creator at this time that if he could ever walk again, he would serve a greater good and give his all to helping others.

In 2018, Peter traveled to Seattle twice for bilateral hip surgeries. While in Seattle, Peter tried THC & CBD products for pain. He credits THC & CBD for pain relief, speedy recovery, and discontinuing the use of narcotic pain medication very quickly after each surgery.

After the hip surgeries, Peter was able to walk again and still has a promise to fulfill. Creating a cannabis business allows Peter to give back to the community he loves (his HOME).
