Alternative Therapies Group (ATG) (Salem - Medical)

It was my first time there and I was happy about the staff there they were so helpful and friendly. I did not mind the location because it's close to my house that's the only person about this location. it felt like the DMV when I got inside. I wish they had more flour but I picked up a quarter of canatonic I squished it and made rosin and it tasted so good! it was good because it has a lot of CBD in it and it helped my back pain.

The staff here has been wonderful and very informative during my process of learning about medicinal marijuana and what works best for me.

Not a welcoming place. Metal detector right when you walk in they then make you watch a 5 minute propaganda video that looks like it was produced by the Reagan administration. They are strictly cash only with an ATM that has a $2.50 surcharge conveniently located outside the front door. No debit? It's 2016... Overall there are more welcoming dispensary with a better/larger selection.

I came for some pain relief marijuana. They would only sell 3.5 grams at a time. The stuff did nothing and the whole exercise was frustration from top to bottom. They had advertized organic but it was not. I had to sign that it was OK for them to use pesticides and fertilizers that contain heavy metals. UGH UGH

The groomers aren't the best as the buds aren't manicured to a medical level, esp., when compared to others. Also esp. considering they are more pricey than the others this is unacceptable. Few specials either. The bud is A quality otherwise. Need to have a broader selection as well. Old building, etc. I liked Bob the security guard, he was always friendly and cool.

Update: Strain selection getting better. Craft Reserve gets 5 stars. Buds still somewhat dry, and the trim still needs improvement. Staff great.

This is my first visit to a dispensary since becoming prescribed and it was a great experience. A security guard greets you at the door and confirms your appointment. After giving them your card and proof of identification you used to register, you are led into a room to watch a quick 10 minute video from their Chief Medical Officer talking about differences between indica and sativa and ways to administer the medicine. After that, you take a number like at the deli counter and wait to be called to the counter. There is a limited menu of maybe 4 strains, and they also sell oils. The Ounces are $350 and the ovape cartridges are 60. The Rick Simpson oil which comes in at 75% THC and 25% CBD runs about $125. The whole experience was painless and professional, and the quality of the flower is better than anywhere I've seen. I expect the quality to get better in time, as well as the varieties the offer. I will be back

the gorilla glue just few tokes and you are all sett

Place was great.. Very helpful people working there... All around a great experience for a first timer

Best dispensary all around

This place is very sanitary and definitely has a sterile, medical vibe going on, which you want when you're buying legal pot. Their bud is good, though it could use more descriptions on their site beyond basic chemistry and genetics, but the real hit is their CO2-derived concentrates. THOSE ARE AMAZING.

Friendly, professional staff. Nice facility. I love it here, but it is too far from where I live. Salem was the first dispensary location and it shows. They have all the bugs ironed out. I have been here quite a few times and I have always been more than happy.

I really enjoy coming here!

Best dispensary by far all the way around

I had an epidural steroid shot in my spine Wednesday November 21st and I without a medicine on Thanksgiving I knew it was a long shot but the Ave Leafly said that you guys were open I drove all the way there and you guys were closed. Other Medical dispensary said they were closed on Thanksgiving but you guys said you guys were open

First time checking out this dispensary and I got to say I’m blown away from the quality of the herbs. Usually at dispensaries I get dried out herbs but this time around was not the case. Definitely coming back soon

Make sure u check there menu. Not always updated.

Nice...even Bob, the guard. They don't have potent enough tincture or shatter yet. But their flower strain, Gorilla Glue, usually found there makes great rosin tech shatter.

I am disapointed that they didn't have the rick simpson oil! Other than that very good customer service and some good flowers! Hopefully they will have the rso oil soon, I have medical issues that the oil can treat on it's own!

Best Dispensary in MA. Always highest quality both flower and large selection of concentrates

I had my appointment the last of the day... They made a large group of people wait outside basically on the street where everyone can see you until your appointment time then they let you in one by one which takes 20 min. After this there's a 15 min video and orientation that describes everything and the product that they offer... Finally they hit us with oh ya we only have one strain left And BTW this is it for a while maybe like another month because there's no lab to test out our product before we can sell it ... 47 for an 8 not bad just didn't want a hybrid strain.

I think that this is the best place currently open legally to buy fresh flower. I have not tried any of the oils but the flowers are flushed right and burn good. They all taste especially great out of a volcano vaporizer. The only complaint that I would make is that sometimes they are a little on the dry side because of the containers that they use. I always empty mine into glass jars with Boveda 62 humidity packs as soon as I get home and everything seems normal by the next day. I can't wait until they get the Gorilla Glue back in stock! That is truly a great strain for me but the rest are all equally worth having in your cabinet as well. For now you will have to look elsewhere for edibles, but don't waste money elsewhere on poorly flushed flower like I did. Go to Salem, you will taste the difference.

ATG is where I go as a regular medical marijuana patient and they are super helpful and educated on what they offer. I have been able to find a variety of strains that help with my anxiety and racing thoughts in order to get better rest and relaxation. They are also beginning to sell glassware, edibles, and topicals in the near future. Convenient location for North Shore and Boston-based patients.

Great product, friendly knowledgeable service. Would love to see a more earthy atmosphere but I'm sure that will come in time. Highly recommended.
