Welcome to Lit New Haven
The Premier Recreational Dispensary in New Haven, CT
New Haven deserves a cannabis experience that reflects its energy, its history, and its people. Lit New Haven is that space: a recreational cannabis dispensary in New Haven where culture, community, and elevated product meet. Located at 169 East Street, this locally owned, Black female-owned dispensary isn’t just a place to shop. It’s a destination built with intention, designed for connection, and rooted in the city that raised it.
Lit New Haven Is the Best Dispensary in New Haven
When you step inside, you’re walking into more than a cannabis dispensary in New Haven—you’re entering a curated environment where representation, quality, and purpose come together. Owned by Kebra Smith-Bolden, a New Haven native, Lit operates with a deep commitment to the community it serves. This is a family-run, locally grounded, and unapologetically intentional business.
The product selection reflects that same care. Whether you’re looking for concentrates, beverages, cannabis flower, tinctures, topicals, edibles, pre-rolls, or CBD products, every item on the shelf has been selected with quality and experience in mind. Brands like Advanced Grow Labs, Curaleaf, Dogwalkers, Hi5, and RYTHM are stocked on our shelves because they consistently deliver potency and innovation. The kind of products that meet the moment, whether that’s relief, creativity, or connection.
The space itself invites you to slow down. There’s a selfie wall for capturing the vibe, a couch for sitting with your thoughts (or your crew), and a kiosk to explore products at your own pace. This isn’t transactional retail. It’s an experience designed to make you feel seen, informed, and welcome.
Why Visit Our New Haven Dispensary

Expect knowledgeable staff who can walk you through product options without the pressure. Expect a clean, modern environment that feels more like a wellness boutique than a typical retail shop.
