Was really impressed with Patriot Care overall. In & out fast. Polite, professional, and knowledgeable staff. The flower is great, esp. the Star Kush and MediHaze. I got some very nice deals for my first visit as well as loyalty points to use on future visits.

The gentlemen at the counter are super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Today was my third visit, and I only began using mj a few months ago. They take the time to explain things and don't rush you. The facility is sparkling white and clean, and the waiting room is comfortable as well. I won't go anywhere else.

Patriot Care has a solid selection that changes regularly. They also offer a lot of discounts and promotions often which is great! Products are high quality and effective!

While this has been the only storefront I have been to thus far, I must say they give no reason to look elsewhere. The staff is friendly, helpful, and knowledgable on their inventory. The medibles are delectable. The strain/lab THC breakdown is extensive and on everything! And the bud selection is extensive and constantly rotating (and tediously updated!). This brings excitement to the menu and has allowed me to try so many different expressions of this glorious herb (the Black Widow X Blue Lemon Thai OMG). While some reviews have complained of dry greens, I have not noticed this so much. Since switching from their twist-top Rx packaging, to the squeezy-pop tube packaging I've noticed slightly more moisture retention over time as well.
However, their shatter... Their shatter is un-real. While it is limited, it's worth it. Those intricately bubbled, stained-glass fractures have had the cleanest, terpene-rich flavor, and highest potency of any concentrate I (or my colleagues) have had the privilege to inhale. Hats off extraction team! (and machine)

They need to flush the medicine before harvesting. Medicine would NOT burn and turned into charcoal briquets. I was offered store credit for one of the four 1/16ths bought but not the other 3 due to the fact they were opened , obviously we tried to smoke it, but it would not burn. Also bought was a .5 gram of shatter which was too stable and broke into dust. $91 dollars of pure crap.

I loved this place! I first went here last Saturday, the 3d and am definitely going back the next time I need some bud! It's really very easy to find and get to and from, though don't forget to bring lots of Quarters, because after all, it is Boston. Devonshire Street seems to be about the best option for parking, I parked about a block south of Milk Street and it was an easy walk, I went inside, a tall fellow checked my IDs and let me in. I had already pre-registered online, so it was just like getting into NETA Care in Northampton. The whole experience was VERY positive, Seneca, Marissa & Joe were great, and the whole operation is run in a very friendly, professional manner. I HIGHLY recommend paying the one-time charge of $120 for the Platinum PSC, as it entitles you to some cool stuff, like The Northern Lights 5 x Haze (25% THC) that isn't available to non-Platinum PSC members. Prices are SLIGHTLY higher than NETA, but only by a thin margin and the Bud is pre-packaged, rather than it being done in front of you, which I could see as being a real time-saver if the place is really busy. Personally, I didn't mind the pre-packaging, as Joe let me get a good look at each strain that I purchased, and the NL 5 x Haze particularly is some really Dank Bud! I was looking around for other Dispensaries, NOT because I'm dissatisfied in ANY way, shape, or form with NETA (And I want to make that perfectly clear!), but simply because I was looking for some more variety, different strains that I haven't tried yet for example. Having been smoking my purchases for the last couple of days, I can honestly say that I'm MORE than satisfied with the quality! If you're not familiar with driving in Boston, I recommend doing your homework before visiting this location. Google Earth, and just plain calling them on the phone (How old-fashioned, OMG), and a good street map (Even if mine dates to 1999, and shows I-93 as an elevated freeway LOL) were all I needed to find my way there and back. I would recommend that you go there late morning/early afternoon as outbound traffic from Boston ranges from horrible to terrible beginning around 3-4pm. I live in Holyoke, which is about an hour and a half, more with traffic, so it's not that bad for me. And don't forget the T, or MBTA!

When they’re menu is stocked, it’s STOCKED.
Recently have been very impressed with the flower. They’re shatter (double tangie banana shatter is favorite)
In particular, Strawberry Fields is a favorite of mine in vape cartridge.

Horrible been here twice and both times dry flower! I tried to get help to resolve the situation and was met with attitude and offered a booster pack after purchasing a half oz. needless to say not happy not how business should be done it feels. Like dealing with a street dealer!

My spot right here.

I have been to this place a few times and every time I go they never have any joints. This is the only dispensary that seems to have this problem. They told me to call ahead? That’s not usually how pharmacy’s work...

Patriot Care has proven to be worth the visit every time I’ve gone in. The staff I’ve interacted with have been some of the most knowledgeable people I’ve spoken to at a dispensary in Mass. Great product as well and they have a great variety as well as some very potent flower, props to their grow team.

Great service, But the location is not ideal. And their products are a bit over priced. I am sticking with NETA in Brookline for now as my Go-To bud shop, but will certainly return here form time to time.

Will never come here again. They claim to close at 4. I got there at 3:51 and they wouldn't l me in. The person who was locking up said, through 2 glass doors, that they're closed. I said but your site says theater you're open till 4. he said they closed at 3:55. Well, I got there at 3:51. Needless to say I was ignored. He just shrugged his shoulders and that's it. this was my first time and I caught a cab there, wasted money. other places let you in until their closing time, not close early. That's how you treat people?

I've been coming here since this place opened and while the security is a bit stringent (be prepared to open your backpacks), once you get inside it's mellow and the staff are helpful and knowledgeable. You'll be in and out in no time with quality product and advice.

Most of the staff is fantastic, every once in a while u get someone who seems like they couldn't be bothered. The flower is high quality, but they run out quick. I'd call b4 if u r going for a certain strain. I don't like the waiting area to get in to the dispensary, I don't see the point? You don't know how many people r in there, how many budtenders are working & it makes the wait time unpredictable.
The flower is very dry and brittle and very inconsistent.
February 27, 2019
Awesome staff. They are super friendly and seem like they really enjoy their jobs. Service is fantastic. The dispensary itself feels very clean and professional, other customers are typically very friendly too. Bud is pretty good, but a little on the dry side which is probably to be expected given the scale of their operation. Overall would highly recommend. Love the pre-rolls.

There is almost never a wait, everyone is polite and efficient and there is usually a sufficient selection of flower. I like the Super Silver Haze, Northern Lights #5 x Haze and Holy Grail.

I had been going on a weekly basis until today when i tried for the first time to return a product, a defective cartridge. I am a 50 yr old professional woman who has spent a lot of money there. Yet I was given the 3rd degree - the salesman demanded to know why I had not mentioned it before, like when I bought x, y, and Z. Loudly. In front of other patients. Horrifying.

I was there last week and picked up one the newer strains: Strawberry Fields #9. It was really clean tasting with a slight fruitiness and a clear strawberry aroma. As strong as it was it was not entirely unmotivating and I was able to function normally even though it was quite effective and definitely assisted with my sleep cycles. I will certainly keep an eye on the menu to see if I can pick this strain up again.

I have always been successful here. The budtenders are always willing to help, and go above and beyond every time to make sure I leave happy. The herijuana is amazing with relieving my anxiety, migraines, and nausea!
