honestly there gorilla glue #4 is Fuego. better than *most* caregivers bud but not all. but I just dont understand stand one thing. I thought dispensary's had to grow from seed only. yet gorilla glue is a clone only strain. so you cant grow it from seed. its passed through the marijuana underworld. its impossible to grow it from seed unless its Backcrossed or its not really gg#4 and its a cross. so which one is it????

I've not been happy with my experiences here. I don't like that you can't buy grams. I'll give them a try again if they ever get some edibles in. Haven't tried their flower but their vape pen has been my favorite so far compared to ones I've gotten from other dispensaries. Not sure why they act like they can't do half the things that others do (post your menu, accept debit cards, display your product before we buy, etc.). Hopefully time will improve this location.

I was one of their first patients, and the flower was awesome.. After a while their flower turned to crap. I stopped going. I decided recently to go give them another try, mainly because they now cary the UKU carts. I decided to give the flower another shot and was amazed. Everything tasted as it should, not all the same flat nasty taste. The terps we're all there and that's what it's all about folks, the terps not the THC. And thanks for treating us medical patients like we should be treated, unlike other dispensaries who have recently turned rec. I went on Saturday the past two weeks and waited zero minutes. Keep up the good work

First time there and found the sales people friendly but after leaving found the two cartridges had large air bubbles causing no vape or smoke. Sales didn't inform that cartridges should be stored UPRIGHT after user. Also if bubble occurs, you can remove by 'burping'. They made good and replaced carts. They state it's a new product and want to hear all comments about them.
I am a new medical user and they need to provide more info to us rather than just selling.

Im a medical patient and really like this dispensary. They have a great variety of products, and friendly, knowledgeable staff.
They’re a very busy dispensary but they separate the recreational and medical counters. Medical patients don’t have to wait in long lines. Which isn’t clearly posted at the front door, so if you don’t know that you could end up at the end of the recreational user line. Just be sure go to the security guard, show your medical card and they’ll quickly let you right in.
I’m usually in and out of their Salem location within 10 minutes 👍🏼.

Always a stress free experience. Yes, the buds could use better trimming but it's a work in progress and they are trying hard. Everybody that I have encountered here has been very nice.

First time there. Impressed by the look of the place and the quality of the experience. The people were very friendly and knowledgable.

well-run operation. friendly staff, never a very long wait even when it's really busy. sometimes a smaller selection, but overall the quality of the product here is a cut above. The Gorilla Glue is a real A+.

I've been to Brockton and I like this location (Salem) better.
The only downside is the online scheduling of appointments to visit. Wish they would improve that.
They have the very best vape cartridge tankers I've ever had!
First I tried Headband (indica)
Hits your body very nicely and removes pain and anxiety, goodbye stress. The taste is a little harsh though.
Gorilla glue - I really like this sativa for daytime chilling use as it helps time pass. Taste is tolerable
Jack the Ripper- sativa is good for productive daytime use. I can drive and function fine. Tastes good.
Afghani- I wasn't that thrilled with this indica. Didn't do much for me. I won't repeat this one.
Cobbler- my favorite vape ever! This strain is awesome for nighttime use. Just amazing. Super euphoric and chill real hard. Will buy this again.
I removed one star of service because you have to make an appointment online and it's tough for me because I live 1.5 hours away.
Love this place. I can't wait for them to make edibles. I'm curious to try the decarb oil. Please open a dispensary near the New Bedford are.

An updated review....
As of right now I've been to all 3 dispenaries multiple times and even though NETA is great, I think ATG is doing a similar service in a different format. Their flowers are trimmed better than before and are high quality flowers for the lowest price around right now. I would definitely recommend this place out of the current options.

Only dispensary I've been too so far ...no complaints and for the most part the buds are on point, but you can't look at the bud before you buy which is stupid af but w.e...no waiting and easy going but a little pricey ..still a great place to pick up some high grade buds

Staff is always super friendly when visiting and very knowledgeable on their products

By far the best out of the 3 Massachusetts dispensaries I've been to. Flower and oil is top notch. I'm becoming a regular. Highly recommend! (Pun intended)

I have never had a bad experience here. The staff are super friendly, very knowledgeable and helpful. They have a great variety of flower, preroll, concentrates, etc. Recommend everyone go here, especially good for first time.

I have been a patient here for almost 2 years and used to love it here when I first went. I first came as a recreational customer and battled Long lines just to have top quality product. 15 mins from my house, couldn’t be better. I noticed recently that things have changed......
They post Incorrect THC % on the website AND sticker that was taped to the pre roll I purchased today. Missing by 5%. Sounds like false advertising to me. I know not everyone buys based on this factor but I consider it very important. And it wasn’t one of the ones with an range, because some flower on their website has ranges for THC %, which is crazy on its own. It happens often here and I have been visiting other dispensary’s and have found quality, service, integrity, and value much higher elsewhere. Not worth the money for product that’s just average, very dry, and often misrepresented. Needed a place on the way home today to save time and sadly it will be my last trip to my first love!
It’s been hard recently finding any good medical places local. If anyone has a recommendation I’d appreciate it!

I've been to ATG twice now. I love the O.pen vape pens. I wish they were a lil cheaper but I'm happy with them. I got some bud there for the first time today. Was a lot better than I expected after reading reviews on here complaining about bad trim jobs and dry bud. I also grabbed some decarb oil. I am very impressed with that as well. ATG Salem has become my second favorite dispensary on Ma. I know people complain about the RMV feel but I like getting a ticket and sitting down. Read up on the menu
a lil and shoot the shit.

This is very irritating. I drive all the way out here for the Captain's Cake because it said it was available for medical & adult use I thought that I was good to go but now it is switched to just adult use. Why does this always happen to me? Why is one of the best strains that is used to treat medical conditions only available for adult use? That is absolutely ridiculous & watch...as soon as I get home it will switch again. This ruined my whole evening. Not a happy camper right now.

I love atg and have grown close with many of the staff. From the security to the lovely people at the counter. I love the displays and comfortable seating in the waiting area, along with the wide variety of products.
My only grievence however is, habitually one staff member does not apply discounts and gives me the wrong items. So I recommend paying attention. (Of course it is always fixed, as this dispensary is great about resolving any issues that may transpire during your visit).

This is the best dispensary in the state when it comes to flower. Their strains are consistent and slowly expanding. If you're a sativa fan then this is definitely your current best choice.

Clean dispensary, quality products and extremely friendly/helpful staff. Been going here for over a year now with no complaints!
