All of the associates (including manager(s)) are helpful and informative. The flower is beautiful and generally well trimmed. The CBD salve, chocolates (delicious) and capsules have all been of consistent high quality. It is like a deli but, you can check out the buds on a table. I was bummed when 3 months ago, they started offering $50 off an order of $100 for first time clients and could not extend it to me as a courtesy.

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.

I've never been to a more unprofessional, rude, and dirty dispensary in my life. Just moved to the area and was very excited to check out ATG. Upon arrival it was pouring rain and the man made me stand outside for about 5 minutes before allowing me into the waiting lobby. When I entered, there was a woman who was a caregiver for her dying husband, bawling her eyes out because all of her paperwork was 'not valid' despite nothing being expired.
I felt horrible for her but continued to mind my own business as I didn't know the exact circumstances.
The waiting room was dirty, poorly lit, and quite uninviting but again, figured maybe the actual store was better.
The woman behind the counter wasn't talking through the divider but rather off to the side, I couldn't hear her so I just slipped my ID and medical card though.
A minute later, she very rudely told me my card expired over a year ago. I said "Oh, I just renewed it and got this card from the state, does it say what's wrong with it?"
She then proceeded to tell me, 'I should know'.....
I left without hesitation and will NEVER EVER come back to this place. They clearly don't care about the patients and rather treat it like some elite back alley drug deal.
NOTE:: after contacting the DPH I was told that everything was good to go and there shouldn't have been any problems.

Not worth the EXTREMELY inflated price. Nice facility and people, but the product (if available) isn't worth the price.

Very impressed, but pleaseeee put older bud on sale or rotate inventory. It's great quality bud, as good as it gets if it's "fresh". No qualms elsewise, security is super kind as well. Easy quick trip, and lots of 🔥 choices for sure!

I'm a recreational user and I have been there 4 times. The appointment only method works well in that it greatly reduces the wait time. Parking is adequate and I was able to park on street a short walk away. Staff is friendly and unhurried. My one gripe is that the online menu does not match the actual menu which you don't see until you actually get your turn. Correction: One one of my visits they had printed copies available as you checked in. I realize that demand far exceeds supply and the supply is always changing. However, greater effort needs to be directed to making the online menu match the real menu. I would think this would be helpful to the flow of customers in that it could reduce the time spent when the customer finally gets his/her turn.

I've been to 3 of the adult use dispensaries so far, This one, Leicester, and North Hampton. The other two provided a better experience than Alternative Therepies.
The quality of the product is very good but (I know they will dispute this) their count is light. Cartridges were visibly light and were gone in about 2 days of moderate use. The eighth of hybrid seemed smallish. I didn't weigh it, but it was dwarfed by an eighth of similar product from N. Hampton. If they're not bagging light, then the other 2 places are bagging heavy! (When I was in "the business" I always bagged heavy; keep the customers smiling!)Also, the girl at the counter was nice and seemed informed enough UNTIL she sold me a battery which DOES NOT work with the cartridges she sold me. I hope they pull it together over there, because geographically, it is the most convenient (for now!)
Not hating, just trying to help. Good luck!

Service and atmosphere are great but I have tried every strain they offer, whether it's indica, sativa, or hybrid, as well as the vials and nothing seems to work. Maybe my tolerance has been built up to a very high standard but I can smoke all their stuff til I'm blue in the face and won't feel a thing

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 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.

Very professional staff. I wish they would extend their hours just a bit. Their flowers are very high quality but dry. They have a nice selection of buds but tend to run out quick.

Great staff and shop. Really like the vape oil pen but the bud is mediocre at best. I just got some White Rhino and was surprised when I got home and opened it. Bud is extremely dry and has barely been trimmed!! Very very disappointed with the quality. Really hope ATG gets fresher buds and improves quality. A great first step would be properly trimming the buds! I will buy my oil cartridges there but for buds I will be exploring the delivery services.

Great location, easy to get to with plenty of parking. Highest quality in the state, only negative is they can run out of your favorite strains quickly. Blissful Wizard and Skywalker are my personal favorites but everything is great!
