Seymour, CT — Your Valley Dispensary Is 10 Minutes South
Seymour sits along the Naugatuck River between Derby and Beacon Falls, a Valley town with deep New England roots and a character all its own. The historic Strand Theater on Main Street still anchors the downtown, French Memorial Park offers green space along the river, and the General Humphrey House stands as a reminder of Seymour's Revolutionary War connections. Hi People Cannabis Market in Derby is just 10 minutes south on Route 8 — take Exit 17 and you're at our Pershing Drive store, making us the most convenient dispensary for Seymour residents who want premium cannabis without the drive to Waterbury or New Haven.
