Alternative Therapies Group (ATG) (Salem - Medical)

Clean, everyone was extremely nice. I had a very positive experience. 😊😊

Amazing selection and service

Cobbler, GG and Captains cake! Is all I get from ATG. These guys grow right! bud tends to be dry at times. Just make sure you go on a new batch release. The cobbler right now is fresh! Your dumb if you buying flowers from anyone else. Patriot care sucks! lol

I love love love ATG!! I can't stress enough how you need to go if you haven't!! No, it's no fancy. No, the packaging isn't all fa-la-la....but the staff, facility, product, security, parking are all above and beyond. They have no limits, and very fresh bud. Beautiful bud! The staff are all informative and nice. I like that I see the same faces every time, not sooo many of them like Brookline. I always go to the same girl in the middle if I can, she is so awesome and usually there, but I've talked to everyone. They all greet and say bye to you. They are so friendly and you can tell they all love what they do. That was important when choosing "my" dispensary, somewhere that makes you feel at ease about ANY questions is a place I will continue to go. I have NEVER felt stupid, and I have had many questions. Also! Every time I've had to wait, most was 20 minutes, it's been an enjoyable wait!! All the patients I've come in contact with are so helpful and friendly, the time flies. Must go!!

I've been here a few times. Great flower, but good lord do they make it uncomfortable. It's like being at the DMV or deli.

Pretty awesome

They have great weed.

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!

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.

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!!

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

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.

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.

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!

Sub par.. Lack of product

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. :)

I went in for my first time nervous and full of anxiety (as that is my main reason for medicating). I was greeted warmly at the door and the front window. I went through a metal detector and was buzzed in. Ok, not what I expected. From the outside, a brick building that is in need of some flowers, color. Inside is wonderful with colorful local art, great music and a relaxed waiting room that was pretty full of people, yet everyone was talking to each other. Right off it was a very friendly atmosphere. I was greeted and introduced to ATG by a really nice girl and a short video that's in a separate room. After that, I grabbed a number and waited about 20 minutes that flew by. I have really bad social and generalized anxiety and met some really nice people I talked to my whole wait. I got to the counter and was even more nervous because I didn't know what I needed and had no clue weed was this detailed. Kate was one of the kindest, most patient people I have ever met. She made me feel comfortable immediately and answered all my questions, even related her own anxiety to mine. I didn't feel rushed at all, which I get really weary of if I know people are waiting lol. She recommended two strains for me and it's been 3 days and I already feel so much better. Not to mention, the entire staff was so friendly and easy going. It's just a place that you leave feeling happier not just from the medicine but from the experience.

Parking is very good and a friendly security staff met me outside to check my identity. Met inside by a friendly staff and watched a short into video. I was then called to the desk to buy my med. Bought the blue. A hybrid indicia dominant. Buds are frost city. Well worth my ride !

people need to stop hating on ATG, their bud is really good! but it won't stay an consistent streamline of product because everyones buying these products out of stock. trim isn't the best always, but neither was the weed I got from street dealers was better of trim. Then there's the vape pens, which I could see a lot of improvement in quality of an possibly great product, just manufacture and test the Vapes to prefection and market them appropriately. ish is way better than the other 2 vapes you have for sale, yet its the cheapest? But I think everyone needs to respect a business that's revolutionary on how and what Americans are taking for medicine. This whole MMI is still very new and it's not very regulated, just like e-cig Vapes!! so it's of the people's risk to even pursue themselves into such an hypocritical lifestyle. All I'm saying is be happy you even get to buy weed legally in a country that still considers your bud as schedule 1. ATG all day

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

Place is still dirty looking and their bud quality isn't great... No kief spilling off buds, bad trim jobs, lots of sticks. Worse, you have to choose it via a tv screen instead of inspecting buds like everywhere else in the world. I asked a lot of advanced questions and they couldn't answer any of them. Bah.
