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

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.

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.

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.

Love this place. The run short on inventory sometimes - but their products are top notch

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

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.

I’m paying nearly $60 for an 1/8 including taxes and getting BAD weed, I don’t understand how It looks so nice but just barely gets you high for about 30 minutes. THC percentage ranges drastically from website and the actual product too: a strain I got said between 18-24% or something and I got the 18% pack, and that’s probs even a lie cause it felt like 5%... ridiculous.

I love the vape pens. Convenient and practically odorless and very effective. The flower is good but a bit dry as others have mentioned. New this week- appointments for first time buyers only, repeat are walk-in. The location is a bit challenging for some but no issue for me.

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.

one of the only dispensaries in the area to have a true cbd strain. I wish they would weight it out in front of you. cash only, no edibles and limited. selection..but worth it for the cbd bud. hope to see their menu expand!

The quality is middle of the road at best. It's all as dried out as any MMJ you'll ever get. I had the Grand Daddy Purp and it was the worst GDP I've ever had. The White Russian I purchased was underweight. The prices are lousy. The location is even worse. Traffic is poor in both directions. The facility is clean and suitable enough. I would not ever recommend this location nor will I ever return.
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

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.

I will admit that I used to only go here when I HAD to but recently they have been having some AWESOME strains and the Loyalty Points Program is great!!! It's now one of my regular places to stop!!! Even during quarantine! LOL

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!

Dude below me. Order online and stare at the menu dummy. Also curaleaf prerolls are the worst. Got a jungle sweat and it just didn’t smoke. Waste of 15$. But good place, people need to stop being such banana heads and order on fucking line and not waste everybody’s time.
Katie at the medical counter rocks! Leo, too. Budtenders with solid knowledge and friendly hospitality. Where everybody knows your name :)

This used to be my fave place. Then the online ordering was acting weird so I called to make sure what it was I should do. Pierre, if that's his name, talked to me like I was trash. As if I was dog crap he had to scrape off his shoe. He had no right. I was never rude ever. You never forget how someone made you feel.

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.

I like the new Ish cartridges, they are cheap, smoke nice, taste great and are way, stronger than the regular plastic openvape cartridges.
The dabaratus and pure oil is very nice, tasty like the craft reserve and the price is decent.
It would be nice if they could bring the price on craft reserve down a bit more especially the 250mg carts seem a bit high priced.
