In-store Shopping
Drop in anytime
Kentucky does not allow recreational cannabis sales. A limited medical program is active, but adult-use purchases remain prohibited statewide — including in Paducah, Calvert City, and the surrounding river counties. High Profile Cannabis in Metropolis sits directly on the Illinois side of the Ohio River, just 13 miles from Paducah via I-24. For Kentucky residents 21 and older, it is the first legal recreational dispensary across the state line.
The store is at 1801 E 5th Street (US-45), less than a mile from the Exit 37 interchange off I-24. From Paducah, the drive across the Ohio River and into Metropolis takes approximately 20 minutes. Residents of Calvert City and Marshall County reach the store in about 25 minutes, taking I-24 west past Paducah and across the bridge. Both approaches land at the same exit: Exit 37 for US-45 and Metropolis.
High Profile Metropolis is open every day from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. The dispensary offers in-store shopping, a drive-thru, and online pickup. An ATM is available on-site, onsite security is present throughout all operating hours, and parking is available. First-time customers, veterans, seniors, and medical patients are eligible for store discounts.

High Profile Metropolis anchors cannabis access for Massac County and the southern Illinois river corridor. The store sits on US-45 — the primary commercial artery through Metropolis — with direct access from I-24 at Exit 37 and from the Brookport Bridge for residents crossing into Illinois from Kentucky’s southern McCracken County communities.
The store’s draw extends well beyond the Illinois border. Paducah — western Kentucky’s largest metro — is 13 miles southeast of Metropolis, a 20-minute trip across the I-24 bridge. Calvert City and the rest of Marshall County are roughly 24 miles away, reachable in under 30 minutes heading west on I-24. Kentucky has no recreational cannabis program, making High Profile Metropolis the nearest legal adult-use option for residents of McCracken, Marshall, and surrounding western Kentucky counties. Illinois law permits any individual 21 and older to purchase recreational cannabis regardless of home state.
Kentucky does not have a recreational cannabis program — adult-use sales are prohibited statewide. A medical cannabis program exists for qualified patients, but recreational purchases remain illegal.
