The best flower!

They have great weed.

Great services and fast lines.

I think they have the best weed here.

Consistently the best selection, flower is not too dry for the most part, craft reserve o.pen, tinctures are superior. Staff is friendly and they know their stuff. Prices are ok, if you forget to hit the ATM beforehand, they have one onsite. Cash only, perhaps they can change that policy in the new year. Worth the drive. If I was smart I would write a bad review, less customers? MORE FOR ME!! Blissful Wizard, may have been the best I have ever had, Glue, GDP and Cobbler are also all top notch, not much into the edibles, so no opinion on those.

Never had an issue here! Always a good spot to pick up some cannabis. I like their flower the best and looking forward to more strains. Stop by here if you are here for medical reasons or recreational purposes!

Horrible experience nobody greets you Im Hispanic and I felt uncomfortable being inside there definitely needs to get some color in there y’all need to get it together being honest I gave y’all second chance and it was horrible no wonder why nobody wants to go there anymore and I honestly don’t need y’all to apologize to me cause y’all still probably not gonna change y’all ways good luck to y’all 👍🏾

Would not come back here. The store Display are not the same strains on the store menu or Leafly menu and are far from top shelf quality!

Please get more Lemon OG Haze ASAP. By far my favorite flavor

I used to go to this location all the time when it was strictly medical, and it was just okay. Now you can’t even get in there. There’s very little parking and there’s always people crowding the lot. If you’re medical, don’t bother. Go somewhere else.

Flowers are as they should be at top dollar prices. ATG offers discounts and then doesn't want to honor them .the cashiers are cookie cutter young people, when you questions the cashiers about misrepresntation they go passive aggressive and a acussee you of being rude and confused.can't recommend it.

This place had great flower. Great workers there. Very positive and helpful!! Also got $50 off a purchase of $100 or more for first time visitors. Will be going back for sure.

Plenty of parking, very secure with a security guard in the parking lot. Friendly staff and quick intake process. I haven't tried their flower yet but I will they mostly look like fire. I went because I wanted to try the o pen. I really enjoyed it and look forward to getting new cartridges. I got the captains cake, and also the craft reserve white rhino. I really enjoyed the captains cake but honestly the craft reserve didn't taste that great and didn't think it hit as good even on the high heat settings. Will definitely go back when I'm on the north shore

Plenty of parking, easy in and easy out. Cash only (ATM in parking lot). Has the feel of a dispensary crossed with the dmv. Right down to the deli take a number system. Knowledgeable budtender and prices are in line (even slightly below) other dispensaries. They were out of chocolates and at this point seem to predominantly have flower, vape oil and tincture. Like all of these sort-ups, it will take time but good first experience. Make a day of it and head over to the north shore mall!!

If you are considering visiting ATG, I highly recommend it. Service/Building Everyone I encountered was friendly and helpful. The parking is easy and the building is clean. Inside was much larger than I expected, around 5 bud tenders working. It is very organized with a similar set up to a DMV/RMV take a number and sit in the waiting area. However, the wait was very short, around 5 mins (I was there around 12:00pm on Saturday, their busiest day). Overall a very organized Dispensary. Strains/Quality The strain selection was exactly the same as their website’s menu. A decent selection with the majority being indica dominate. The buds are very high quality, trimmed correctly and cured correctly. They have a fair amount of west coast genetics and some 2familiar ones. I tried their Captains Cake, Granddaddy Purple, and The cobbler (pink cookies). The Captains Cake is a very unique strain I recommend picking some up if you ever have the chance. The Granddaddy Purple was by the far the best GDP I’ve ever had. I was blown away with this strain, it was perfect. Overall I would say their Quality is very high, strain selection needs improvement. Pros: Great service, quick, organized and the parking is free and very easy. The strains are interesting and very high quality. Prices are not excessive on the flower although they could come down quit a bit. If you are an indica lover ATG is the place to go. Cons: No edibles or extracts other than tincture and disposable vape pens. The price on the rick simpson oil is border line offensive. No one could afford to purchase the Rick Simpson oil from ATG with a chronic illness. The strain selection is very indica dominate, only one sativa with a few hybrids but even then the hybrids are all indica dominate. Overall Grade: B+ Interesting Fact: ATG was the first dispensary to open in Massachusetts.

Place is really at a low point right now. You would think being the first dispensary open in the state they would be on the upswing. Been coming here since it opened, I live 5 min away. Last visit, 1 type of oil cartridge, limit 2 per person. 4 of the exact same strains since the fall. No sativas ever,no edibles. Customer service is great except for 2 girls who are permanently miserable, I'm sure other visitors know who I'm talking about. Cmon guys your slipping badly.

I've gone here several times, and usually get great customer service. However, I've purchased every type of flower on the menu (several times each), and it seems they are poorly trimming their flowers on purpose. If not, why no change? I've heard customers complaining in house, on here (and others like weedmaps), even on Google! The last two packages I purchased had 50% leaves or more, super dry, hardly any actual flower, little to no medical efficacy. You're probably thinking "why didn't this guy look at the product and the turn it down? They don't even let you look at the product before purchasing!

Cash only establishment. No on-site ATM. Pricing: $47.00 an eighth. Currently Offering Flower Only. Hourly group appts., schedule online in advance. Mine @10AM, a line was outside already. No, I'm not in love with the location. It's out in the open when you are waiting (prepare for this based on the weather!). 1st TIMERS-You get a pkg. of info & forms sign & a video to watch. Leave extra time on your 1st visit for the video 10-15 mins. Aug 5 Menu: Glue Scout Glue Sat/Ind Hybrid(1/4 only); Serious Happiness Sat/Ind Hybrid(Any); Blue Indica (1/8 only). The amount matters based on how much you wanted to buy. I wanted an 1/8 of the S/I hybrids but had to get a 1/4 & an 1/8 since everything is premeasured off site. Returning patients are in & out pretty quick. They have concentrates & misc products on standby once the DPH get the testing in order (only 1 place does it & doesn't test for all of the state req.) Employees were friendly & would ask if they didn't know. Change has to start somewhere & ATG is the 1st dispensary in Mass; DPH doesn't make the process easy. All of the check ins, video/pamphlet info, lack of product is ALL due to DPH regulations. I will be back & look forward to seeing how ATG evolves.

I'm a little annoyed with the oil cartridges I purchased for the 1st time. The dude said like 1-2% will be defective and may clog...well I got one and 1/3 way threw the cartridge it clogged and the juice backed up in part of the chamber that isn't accessible. Went back yesterday and got a new one and they gave me one without any problems, however today I started using it for the same exact thing to happen at 1/4 way threw. Now I have to make a 3rd trip there this week! The bud was okay, but i don't think I would continue buying unless I get a good discount

Not enough strains, keep promising edibles.. they have lame excuses for everything. Right now they only gave two buds worth smoking and they are so dry. Also theyre oils are weak as heck. Theyre has been times they have had a really good strain, i guess you could say this place is a hit or miss.

So yeah, it's a yucky location. Try to park as close as possible and just keep an open mind. Because everyone, even the security guards, are super nice, friendly and inviting! Everyone on hand answers any questions and once you're inside the building, it's pretty relaxed and it eases up the tensions. They're super aware of how it looks from the outside and they make the efforts to make up for it with care and friendliness. Pricey and somewhat limited strain selection but I'll be going back. :)

This dispensary is definitely not like the others. security outside, metal detector, and guard escort inside = it very welcoming. then you sit through "orientation". the strain selection was good however I was disappointed in the quality of the prerolls and the containers used. preroll was def not a full gram and one almost broke at the filter bc there was a big gap. def not going out of my way to shop here again.

Going back today for my second visit. Looking forward to seeing new strains that may have become available over the past month. My first trip back in July was awesome, everyone was really cool, easy to deal with. People need to keep in mind this is only the first dispensary that's opened in MA, the way this goes will set precedent for all dispensaries in the future! I look forward to being able to say I was a patient at the first dispensary that opened in mass while they were getting situated because it's only a matter of time before we look like CO & CA! Keep up the good work ATG

Great flower,been going for about 2 months and every time stuff is 🔥 going to miss the Craft Reserve cartridges they no longer carry!
