So let's start at the beginning. When you first arrive at NETA you will notice that there is nowhere to park. Get ready to spend time circling the building while you wait for a spot to open up. Once you do park, you must be careful getting out of your car! NETA is on a main road, and traffic doesn't give a damn if you have to park on the street and get out of your car. I have almost been hit twice, and this is why I don't go there anymore. There is a police detail who stays out front, which is nice and comforting when you have just made a big purchase and want to feel safe walking back to your car. Check in is fast and easy. The inside is huge and very comfortable! Menus ready for anyone who comes inside, and plenty of places to sit while you peruse your options. And there is a pretty big selection to choose from! NETA offers one of the biggest choices in flower that I have seen, and it is all top quality! They do offer a hardship discount for certain customers. Also, be sure to call ahead and ask if they are running any specials! On one of my visits I was told that if I brought in a toy to donate that I would get a discount, which I did! So always call ahead! The online menu is reliable, and so is the staff. NETA talked me into my first vaping experience, which I loved, and gave me my first edible! If you are okay in traffic, then NETA is definitely somewhere you will want to visit more than once. My only recommendation is to make sure you give yourself a large chunk of time to be there. This is not an in and out dispensary like some of the smaller ones in Massachusetts. Each time I have gone there, I have been inside for at least 40 minutes because of long lines. The only reason I don;t go back is because the parking situation scares the hell out of my, but this is definitely a 5 star facility!

I've been to this dispensary a few times. They've forgotten the discounts they offer almost every single time when cashing me out. I've tried several shatters and waxes. Facewreck was a brick and hard to handle. Gorilla Glue was unstable and a goopy mess. Haven't tried the flower.

I believe it was the great Lyndon Byers who said “Change ya lettuce, change ya Life.”
I’m pretty sure LB was talking about a hair cut but hopefully by now you know where I’m going with this: NETA Best flower within 20 miles of Boston. Highest “vibration” for medical flower is here. Best overall experience and general atmosphere. Lines move quick, Express lines are great. As close to the feeling of some of the West Coast collectives we are gonna get at the moment.

I love the people and the atmosphere

I would move to Brookline if I could find an affordable apartment this dispensary is that good. I mean I can't think of any other dispensary that has as much to offer as NETA does. I have been to every dispensary in the state. this place can get busy so if you suffer from anxiety try and find a time suitable for less of a wait or try there express checkout it's very convient ( if you know what your looking for before coming in ) once again I will be visiting soon and many more times for there TOP NOTCH concentrates.

The gold standard of a Mass Medical Dispensary.
Awesome atmosphere with an amazing staff that could talk to you for hours about the wide variety of products they offer. It can get crowded some days, but even when the wait is long it's still fun to nerd out with the staff in the meantime.
Everything about this place is 5-stars, I highly recommend them!!

Gotta love it. By far the best dispensary I've been to. Good product, good people. I pass two other dispensaries on the way. NETA is worth the extra drive.

Good variety of products with a selection of sizes and potency amongst the different sections

I was knocked out by the selections! Please buy the dispensary in Brockton -they're running that place like something from a newvo Ma and Pa Kettle

I miss NETA. My first dispensary as a patient, I was a regular weekly customer for years. Now it's a recreational circus. I know they claim to give priority to patients but that's become impossible. Last time I went, a big argument broke-out at the door while I tried to get inside, then I had to wait in line for the only 2 registers set-aside for patients. It was so loud. The bud tender was totally distracted and did not talk to me at all. I still think NETA has the best flower (I miss you Jack Frost) but the culture has totally changed. It's just not for patients anymore.

They are always swamped, don't really
prioritize medical patients, and traffic is a nightmare.

Honestly the limits are crazy. 1g limit of concentrate. 1/4 ounce limit on flower. Flower quality is not bad. Nothing special tho. Until Neta offers more quantity I will not be returning. 4 just passed. I'll be happy to grow my own meds for a fraction of the price. Would not shop again. Would only refer friend to get free 1/8th. Hope this honest review helps.

They kept the EXCELLENT decorative decor of the bank that was there before them..^^ points for that. EXCELLENT customer service...went thru the regular line first time cause I didnt know what I wanted or needed as a patient. Their team excelled at getting me on the right path for my problems. Used the express line the next 2 times and the team @NETA talked and knew what I needed and suggested the right trains for me....AWESOME TEAM

it's a good place MBA type investors. ummm, the money is a concern guys. also you don't have a disabled vet discount at the register. sooo, it's tough for me. I'm probably not coming back until I get another coupon

I thought it would be such a long wait but it wasn't bad. everyone was professional and friendly and knowledgeable. ALDO was awesome he took his time and explained different things to me and was very kind. I give it a 5 star rating !!!

Since going recreational I have noticed a significant decrease in selection on vape cartridges/distillate. Never any full G and good luck if you have a sativa or indica specific need. Quality seems irrelevant if I have to check back every day for anything to show up.

Meh............ the best thing about this dispensary is the fact that I can get kief by the the gram.

I’m going to have to say I was a bit disappointed with the quality of a few products after my most recent visit. I purchased a couple pre-rolls that were by far the worst joints I’ve received from any dispensary. I ultimately had to break down and re-roll again. I was super excited to see the brownies back on the menu but after opening the package and finding what looked to be the dessert from a “kid cuisine” frozen meal I was sadly let down. The new recipe not only tastes awful but the brownie which was advertised as 50mg actually only had a total of 46.44mg. Now, I’ve seen products over by .44-2.50 mg dependent on dispensary but never under!!!! Also, Where’s the military discount!?!?!

If there was a dispensary in hell it would be something like this

I used to go to NETA, Brookline, for all my needs and found it to be excellent. Now they seem to only carry/grow THC plants. None with CBD. I can only guess that they will be only catering to the recreational crowd. Beautiful spot too. Seems I don’t need to travel that far. Shame. Shame. Shame. Make their name in MMJ and then poof...

As a Massachusetts patient, when it comes to finding a reliable dispensary nearby, you could count the options on one hand. For anyone living in the Boston area, I would highly recommend the NETA Brookline dispensary off of Washington St in the old Cambridge Savings bank building. All the product is top-shelf and very reasonably priced considering the quality (from an East Coast perspective).
I'd say the only downsides are that strains - especially popular ones - will get sold out very quickly so it's important to check the menu the night before you plan on going in (they update the menu around 9:30pm every night). Additionally, if you are trying to stop by on the weekends, expect a long wait in line.
Overall, after 5-6 visits over the course of this summer, I have yet to have an unpleasant visit to NETA Brookline. The commute is a little rough, but the budtenders are always friendly and informative and the product is the best I've had on the East Coast.
I rate NETA Brookline a 4.5/5. Would highly recommend for both new and veteran cannabis users.
