The guards are great guys,there is an ATM out front.When you walk in all the selections on the menu are displayed to view under magnification cases.All staff are great there.The only negative thing wich isn't really negative it's more of a helping comment the two registers furthest to the left should be for people with question,first timers, but really it's not a problem most I've waited is 5-10 min.and they have done nothing but improve.Love the new baggy system too but the big ones seem like they might be costly an unecessary.bags were fine.Love ATG

Not your grandpa's ganja. Amnesia haze over 34% is crazy. Love this place!

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 was treated very poorly and will not be returning. Everyone there has always been very kind but today, that was not the case. Out of the approximately 50-70 items I have purchased, I have had to return something four times. Always cartridges, once it was leaking out into the container they give it in, once the bottom came off and it would no longer work (this has happened multiple times but I only returned it once), and the last two times I returned the Marion Berry Kush cartridge and it wouldn't work on my pen. I brought it back in the second time, and it was right after I left that I returned, and was treated very poorly. I've always had good experiences with the workers and the nice man manager but today was completely different. The girl made me feel like a fool. She said I couldn't return anything else. She was very rude in the way she was speaking. I have been going to this location since right after they opened, gave them $1000's, and that's how I get treated? I was so upset that I went and spoke with the male manager. He was very apologetic. He explained that they were short on workers and it's been very busy, they were supposed to have two people start that didn't, and that she was probably just stressed. Because he was so nice, I walked away feeling better. I didn't wanna blame all of them for one rude girl. But then the girl comes out (and if you've ever worked customer service you know what this means) and she's smiling big and laughing. Hands it to me and in a high pitched (fake) voice says "Here you go! Have a nice dayyyy!". I was just like wow, what a rude girl. Because of her, I will not be back. That is the ONLY reason. If you're not gonna take items back that don't work, why would I want to waste my money?

I bought some of the amnesia haze with 32% THC becuz I like higher potency. I was very happy with it. There was no line and the prices were fair to me.

First day open to the public . Definitely worth having your medical card. No lines no wait time. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Great experience every time I go. Having your medical there's always discounts on product . I highly recommend ATG in Salem ma

Place was cool until rec opened up , Rec ppl reserve all the flour online so in store there isn’t much also the officer working outside needs to mind his business, I stopped by On my way! Home in my work truck and he went out of his way to tell my office at work instead of me himself if there was any issues? That’s not very welcoming I haven’t been there since and don’t plan on it.

Another great visit to ATG. This crew is amazing. The staff is so kind and patient. Has made the entire process very approachable. The strains are excellent. First experience with the o.pen cartridge was AMAZING. Highly, highly recommend that product. Keep up the great work ATG!!

This place is pretty good. Somewhat good selection of buds and vape oil. Not much edible.
As others mention the atmosphere is akin to a DMV or deli, where you take a number and sit in a moderately comfortable chair, watching a scroll of products on the tv. All of the product is locked up so you can't really look at it before you buy.
Employees are nice, knowledgeable and helpful.
Overall if it's convenient for you it gets the job done, but they need a serious remodeling.

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.

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.

Convenience is king at this location. It’s nice to be able to schedule an appointment, show up, and get what you want. No long lines. No lazy dealers who’ll get around to it when they feel like.
That’s really the only reason I shop here. I’ve made two trips and have been kind of let down by the product. I guess I just haven’t gotten the right strain yet. I’ll try them one more time and see how gorilla glue treats me.
The place is nice. Small and dark. Clean. The staff are great. I feel like they’re excited for the customer and are eager to help.
This will most likely remain my go to place since they’re close by and are super convenient. As long as I enjoy gorilla glue. Or they expand their menu.
Oh yeah, that is the one major downside. Limited options. Hope that changes.

Serious happiness was tremendous ... Everything was what it needs to be right now if we want more shops to open... Folks need to realize they want to stay open

I've been going here since they opened(medical cannabis)I was kind of freaked out when they took the metal detector out to make room for rec clients but I still went.
Last night I went on the website to check out the strains. I was so excited because they had a lot to choose from & a couple of new strains.
Needless to say they had 3 strains for medical & the rest was rec. Because I wanted super lemon haze I had to purchase it from the rec counter which cost me 20$ more & I HAD to buy a 1/4 because that's all they were selling.
So a word of warning: if you are a patient the website is now meaningless.
Go to Brookline...better deals & more variety.

Consistency and quickness. Been going before getting my med card and yeah, sometimes it gets busy for recreational but if you catch it at the right time you'll be in and out quickly. Go early to get the best selections.
Medical users are always in and out in 10 mins, tops. Show your med card and they wave you through with zero wait.
I'm strictly a flower user and the buds are always in great shape, and not dry or crumbly like some other nearby dispensaries.
The staff has always been cool to me as have the security guys so I'm not sure what some other people are complaining about.
Like anywhere, you do get your share of knuckleheads, entitled patients, and people who won't stop talking in line but such is life.
Enjoy!
Lately there products are old and dried out pay good money for herb and get home and it is like dust when you touch it they never change and only put out new stuff here and there some has sat there for months it's not fair on the consumer I usually have good reviews for them but lately I am dissatisfied I also weigh my product when I get home and some are under also other dispensary's there prices are lower for the same herb and a lot of times much better and fresher all I can say is you decide this is just my opinion and what I see and purchase

Good selection

Ok, ATG is great - no long trek into the city. 30 minutes or less for me, and can usually find a couple of fun things to do on the way home.
The security guards are always so kind (and patient - I'm forever forgetting to have my cards out). Interior-wise it's nice. Not quite the same as the bells and whistles place in the city, but hey, I'm not there for the interior decorating skills.
I've been a consistent patient here for over a year. I have no complaints. My only complaint would have been the lack of variety, too heavy on the indicas. However, there have been a few new flavors added recently. Plus, the constant stars? They are all worth it. :) consistent top shelf medical marijuana.
Thank you so much for being where you are. Treating chronic
Pain makes driving difficult. This dispensary is close enough to my home that getting there is relatively easy.
