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

I’ve been going to ATG for a few months now and have only had a good experience. The guards and staff are super friendly and knowledgeable.
It is located in an old warehouse type building in a sparsely populated area (hence the extra security, I bet) but I never felt nervous. There’s enough traffic in the area and in the parking lot to other businesses that you feel secure. There is an ATM.
For first-timers, they will show you a film and give you handy information to read. They are happy to answer any questions you have, or to let you make a quick, quiet purchase.
They send you home with plastic opaque, child-proof ziplock bags that really lock up the smell as well.
I will continue to buy from here!

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

So originally I was pretty devoted to the dispensary in Georgetown, but after that closed down, I started going to ATG. The first few times I went we’re honestly nothing special, but I will say the customer service at this dispensary is far greater then any I have experienced. For example, I have one of those O.pens that you attach the cartridge to, but for some reason the cartridge wasn’t working on my pen. I tried everything, and they told me to bring the pen in and they’d take a look at it. I brought it in, but I had zero money on me, and the young man working at the front counter (I forget his name) helped me out and went above and beyond what was required of him. It turned out that my o.pen was an old style and that’s why it wasn’t working, so he went out to his car and gave me his spare battery that he had for no charge. I wish I could remember his name because this man deserves a raise!!!!

Thier menus are on TV's that change way too quickly. I review the menu before I go into a dispensary, but I tend to add extra stuff aside from what I was planning on getting out of excitement but it is impossible to review the menu in store so I never add anything extra here. Their loss $$. I dont find the staff to be that helpful either.

Best dispensary all around

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.

Did not like the draft vapes - both did not work properly for me and when I contacted them, no one contacted me back. Was a waste of at least $100. Flowers were nice, but hard to believe the THC %'s they were advertising. Strangely hard to see these guys surviving the coming avalanche of dispensaries that will be opening over the next year, esp. after legalization passes in November.

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.

Best dispensary by far all the way around

Place looks dark in dismal inside. Although it is being renovated. 2 out of the 3 times ive been the staff was pretty cold. Most importantly their flower almost always all smells and tastes the same. It's usually 4-6 months old when it's packaged making it stale and all smell the same. I would be very interested to see how it's stored or cured for those 6 months while they're waiting top package it. Ive heard they wait so long because they have to wait for test results. To top it off they're more expensive than most of the dispensaries especially for vape cartridges and concentrates. I only went because they offer some strains others do not have. Hopefully someday they'll improve their flower harvesting, testing, curing and storing methods. Otherwise, I think I'll continue to go elsewhere.

great private area no one bothers you. every employee is very helpful and the strains I did get were incredible!!

The dispensary is easy to get to in Salem. The flower is often dry and I find the cartridges we're really hard oil. The prices are high and very limited selection of Edibles. it's okay for a pre roll.

Love love love everything about ATG. They are consistently consistent and I'm cool with it.
but, I gave three stars for atmosphere due to the horrendous music playing. I always feel like I'm trapped in an 80s movie reel.

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

Friendly and informative staff

As a resident of Salem, the location is extremely convenient. That aside, let me quickly comment...
1. Quality: every product I've purchased has been great. The prices are also good. Over time, their selection has expanded and hours have been extended. I feel that this is a place that gets better as time goes on.
2. Service: everyone I've come in contact with at ATG is friendly, talkative, and helpful. This extends even to the security, which is contracted. I have never had a bad service experience here and I come about once every two weeks.
3. Atmosphere: calm, welcoming, and professional. I love that ATG features local artists. The facility is spotless (it also has bathrooms), well-maintained, and located in a quiet, residential area that feels safe.
On your first visit, you sit through a quick orientation and ATG provides you with a thick, detailed packet of information about marijuana, what it does, the strains they cultivate, and more. You leave here feeling that ATG really understands how helpful a medicine marijuana can be and that they are truly dedicated to their mission.

This continues to be my favorite dispensary for flower on the North Shore, especially their GDP!
And it's the only place I know of that carries CBD capsules, which I can't live without.
Thanks ATG for remaining consistent.

I purchased "Cobbler" yesterday, and I have to say, I am very happy with the quality. It is super frosty nuggets and the people were all helpful. Keep up the good work atg!

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!
