Where do I begin... I have been using marijuana for over 30 years and the best pot I have ever seen anywhere in the world comes from ATG. Seriously, their flower is top notch. I love that they offer old school strains like chronic and blueberry plus they have some new stuff that i have only read about in magazines like captain's cake, amesia hayze. Their girl scout cookies is a lot more potent than what i got at the other place - great smell too. You guys are the best. I would like to see some distilled cartridges on the menu, or maybe some shatter soon please!

One of the top 2 in MA. Staff, esp. Kadir and Yajaira make sure you have a successful experience. Blue Dream, Grandaddy Purple, Captn's Cake, White Russian are usually in in PURE GLASS Cartridges (they need to ditch the plastic, adulterated others!)...and Blissful Wizard and some Kush's are there for the gettin'. Classic Strains,Great staff. My Go-to place!

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.

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.

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

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 love this place. It is so quick and easy, even when it's super busy, the longest I've ever waited is 20 mins. The oils are amazing, hands down the best. The flower, yes we get sick of the same ones for too long, but it is what it is.
The staff is excellent, the security is friendly and makes you feel safe. I've been a bunch of times but mostly am helped by Ben or Kate. They are so friendly, funny, and informative and never make me feel anything but welcome. They have answered all of my questions and are just great down to earth people. It seems they all are. Anyway, I would go for sure!!

Wow, virtually no waiting...any waiting was to decide which of the many strains to choose and how much to purchase (no limits, yeah). The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, caring and the product quality was outstanding! Looking forward to my next visit. Thanks for the great experience ATG...keep on setting the bar!

The product is fantastic. They have a limit on the amount of flower you can buy per visit, but you will not have to worry about quality - it's been very, very good everytime. I had never used the cartridges before (they didn't have flowers my first visit so I grabbed some) and they are excellent - very easy to use, portable, discreet... overall they are awesome. The only negative right now is the one location and limited amount you can purchase but that will get better over time. They're doing as good as they can considering the state laws/procedures they have to abide by right now. The process IS safe and relatively easy... never had any problems. For first visit plan on being there 1-1.5 hours... after that it is quicker.

I bought an eighth of 5 different strains last week. I thought every one of them was excellent! Amnesia haze is crazy strong - i only use that one when I am not going anywhere. Dakini kush is really nice, pineapple express. You can't go wrong with this dispensary.

All of the associates (including manager(s)) are helpful and informative. The flower is beautiful and generally well trimmed. The CBD salve, chocolates (delicious) and capsules have all been of consistent high quality. It is like a deli but, you can check out the buds on a table. I was bummed when 3 months ago, they started offering $50 off an order of $100 for first time clients and could not extend it to me as a courtesy.

Great staff, nice facility. Low inventory since they opened up recreational.

Excellent shop that is quick and efficient

I'm a recreational user and I have been there 4 times. The appointment only method works well in that it greatly reduces the wait time. Parking is adequate and I was able to park on street a short walk away. Staff is friendly and unhurried. My one gripe is that the online menu does not match the actual menu which you don't see until you actually get your turn. Correction: One one of my visits they had printed copies available as you checked in. I realize that demand far exceeds supply and the supply is always changing. However, greater effort needs to be directed to making the online menu match the real menu. I would think this would be helpful to the flow of customers in that it could reduce the time spent when the customer finally gets his/her turn.

Have zero complaints.
Line management has been on point the last 4 or 5 times I've visited.
I generally go on Wednesdays around 5:45 to 5:50 and I'm usually out by 6:15 or 6:25 at the latest.
The quality has been excellent, I haven't purchased anything I haven't loved.(except that golden ticket pre-roll but that was my bad as I knew it was high CBD when i bought it).
I did get a UKU cartridge, 500mg, that lasted like 2.5 days with minimal use.
The new UKU Slims are great, lasts about a week with moderate use.
I'm a happy camper so thanks for what y'all do.

I’m a recreational smoker. I’ll put it this way: i wouldn’t buy this quality bud on the street at these prices. Not they’re fault taxachusetts is ridiculous. Besides the point, I’ve been here 3 times and for all 3 times the quality of bud has been the same and great quality. I’ve seen better but the first time i got a bag here i was very impressed. I’m shocked people rated the quality bad and I’ve been an avid smoker for 10 years now. Bud is amazing here it’s worth to treat yourself once in a while if you can afford it because if you are like me, you’ll be spending hundreds of dollars a week to keep up with tolerance. Nugs are strong smelling and dense. If i could post a picture i would. Everyone is very nice there. Line can get crazy during peak hours. I suggest Monday morning i was in and out today. The menus can be confusing they might not have what they post or have stuff that isn’t posted although it’s become a lot better, not exact yet but you can tell they are putting effort to improving.

Not worth the EXTREMELY inflated price. Nice facility and people, but the product (if available) isn't worth the price.

A round of applause to ATG for being forward thinking and minimizing the effects of doing their first day of rec sales by doing it by apointment only.This clearly shows that they think of the neighborhood when making business decisions which is very unselfish of them and i wish them all the best in doing their rec sales.Not enough good things can be said about their products,their employees and their consideration of others outside their business..

Good flower. Extra tax because of the city.

This is my go to shop. Extremely convenient. The flowers are of high quality and consistent. The Cobbler is one of my favorites.

I've been to 3 of the adult use dispensaries so far, This one, Leicester, and North Hampton. The other two provided a better experience than Alternative Therepies.
The quality of the product is very good but (I know they will dispute this) their count is light. Cartridges were visibly light and were gone in about 2 days of moderate use. The eighth of hybrid seemed smallish. I didn't weigh it, but it was dwarfed by an eighth of similar product from N. Hampton. If they're not bagging light, then the other 2 places are bagging heavy! (When I was in "the business" I always bagged heavy; keep the customers smiling!)Also, the girl at the counter was nice and seemed informed enough UNTIL she sold me a battery which DOES NOT work with the cartridges she sold me. I hope they pull it together over there, because geographically, it is the most convenient (for now!)
Not hating, just trying to help. Good luck!

The quality is so so. Carts and flower
