NETA - Northampton (Rec)

Great product and friendly staff. Highly recommend!

This was stop #6 of the Original 8 tour and my second NETA location. It re-affirms my belief that NETA is the state-wide leader in the early stages of Massachusetts' medicinal (and soon recreational) marijuana business. This is a buttoned up operation, plenty of staff, organized set up and quality product. Easy access off Route 91 with ample parking and a very chill space that includes showroom for vaping products from entry-level to expert user. The one bummer is that NETA has had to institute a 1/4 oz flower limit for the time being. (As of 11/12-16) Seems demand is outpacing supply!! No surprise there. Still, good strain diversity across platforms (bud, vape, shatter, edibles, kief, etc) and super helpful budtenders. Kate and Hannah helped me and both were phenomenal - friendly, informed and patient. Be sure to ask for shake discounts - great for home rolling, dugouts and other old school methods!!

i think it is aweasome that they allow you to come in again for the $49 off a $50 purchase. Because WE ALL NOW $300 is to much. So its a blessing to see they're willing to help occassionally, if and when they can. Thank you Neta. See you tomorrow.

Amazing location with a huge variety. The Facewreck is amazing and the Vape cartridge variety is great. I hope to visit again soon.

Quick service considering all the business.

my experience is the new patient en NETa was outstanding I did not know what to expect and everybody was polite they explained everything carefully I think that they took the time to understand what I needed the staff was very friendly and treated me with respect thank

It was my first time at any dispensary, so I don’t have any reference point for comparison, but I thought they were great! They spent at least a half hour with me, letting me go on and on indecisively about what products to get, and helping me make informed choices based on my description of my mental health symptoms. I would also like to mention that the company must have an amazing design team! The interior design of the shop is beautiful; earthy, woodsy and relaxing, yet somehow still very modern. The product packaging is art museum gift shop level gorgeous (though possibly too minimal, as I did find myself wanting more info). And their product catalog is beautiful enough for a coffee table book; I’m keeping it for my own personal design inspiration, because it is so dang pretty it would make anyone want to shop there even if they initially had no interest!

I've only been to 3 dispensaries, but this one is the best one I've been to, it's always my first choice now. The staff there are very nice and extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I really love the quality of what I get here, I haven't tried their shatter or wax yet, but their other products never disappoint and usually end up testing higher than advertised. I love that they're open 7 days a week too and take walk ins. they're always adding new stuff to their menu, and the prices really aren't bad. love this place!

I am a new medical marijuana patient being treated for Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. On my first trip to NETA upon entering a nice young woman came to sit with me and discuss any of my questions or concerns. It is a very comfortable and welcoming environment even for new users. The purchase process is clear and easy. Everyone was extremely patient and kind. The product itself has been excellent. I've been back once more and will be making another trip soon. The edibles are excellent. I used to have chronic pain, nausea and insomnia - now I am able to relieve pain and nausea with ease and I sleep every night. This plant is a gift to those who are suffering, this dispensary treats it as such. I have already and will continue to recommend NETA as a reliable, comfortable dispensary for medical marijuana needs.

Extremely friendly and helpful. Makes you feel at home.

I visited NETA for the first time yesterday and it was an amazing experience. From start to finish, all the staff members were polite, engaging, and really seemed to enjoy their jobs. Security was very professional and kind. No metal detectors or pat-downs. I was in-and-out of NETA in about 15 minutes, as a first-time customer, so the efficiency of the place is outstanding. (I did pre-fill the paperwork ahead of time.) Picked up three strains: Anmesia Haze, Grape Trainwreck, and Walker Kush as well as a few edibles. Flower is great, better than ~90% of what's around on the street. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

great people, more than helpful with great loving atmosphere, thanks so much I'm a 19 year old connoisseur of cannabis and I love this growing industry, I hope to see more like this seeing as this was my first time and I love the selection I love the quality it was an awesome experience

Great deals! Welcoming and informative staff! Great products it wish they more variety with edibles and cartridges!

Very friendly and helpful. Very professional

I've used NETA a few times, and I like their service, and their flower. The dose lozenges are great, they last a long time, and their effect is good. I have used the wishing well tincture too,a nice tasting product, but I really haven't gotten more out of it than just feeling relaxed, but I have only had the hybrid of that, and that may be why. Next time I think I will try an Indica. I also have used the Allay lotion, the extra strength, works great, and relieves my knee pain from arthritis really well. I have also tried the regular strength,It gives some relief, but not much. I would recommend that strength for after you exercise, but the extra strength really better as a short acting very effective pain reliever.

NETA has excellent quality products, having tried their edibles, flower, and shatter, and a knowledgeable staff that constantly gives off good vibes and seems to enjoy a good conversation without being pushy or annoying. The flower is top notch. It really does not get better. Of course some strains are not that strong, but really that's a good thing, as bigger variety means more patients' needs are met. That said, pretty much every day they have at least one strain that batch tested at greater than or equal to 25% total active cannabinoids (TAC), often one pushing 30% or higher (the Bruce Banner seems to always push 35%, and my personal favorite, Flo OG, seems to always be above 30%). Marijuana really does not get more potent than this, East or West coast. That said, these super-potent batches usually seem to sell out before the end of the day, but from what I've heard they're only going to be expanding their grow operation, so I think this will be getting better. Their shatter routinely clocks in at 90%, depending on the strain. A few days ago they had an indica-dom hybrid shatter that tested at 94.9% TAC. That's the highest test result I've ever seen for shatter, notwithstanding people boasting (without proving) they can squeeze an extra couple percent out of there. Truthfully, most people's shatter does not ever break 90%. Once you're into that level, there's no point knit-picking the difference of a few percentage points. It's top-teir strong. Done. The visuals of the shatter vary with batch and strain, although the Arcata Trainwreck shatter I got a month ago or so was pure amber. Gorgeous. Best looking shatter I've ever seen in person and I've seen a lot. It was also some of the sweetest tasting vapor I've ever experienced, to the extent that the vapor can even be tasted. That said, the looks and taste are pretty irrelevant. There's all kinds of reasons, as I understand it, that shatter can become darkened that have nothing to do with the quality or safety of the extraction. I really don't care too much about commenting on the taste, size, or scent of the plants/nugs either, as these things have nothing to do with the quality of the psychoactive effects and are purely subjective. Some tokers may feel they have such superhuman perceptions of the taste of their incinerated plant matter and oils that they can sense differences between different people's products on the molecular level before incinerating them, but let's face it, even if that were true (it's not), most of us do not have such rarefied senses, and nobody smokes weed for the taste anyway. Give me a break. Sorry-not-sorry to call out power trippers. Nevertheless, these weeds smell, look, and taste phenomenal to me. If I could I would post some HD photos to show you how dank these nugs are and how clear this shatter is. Most importantly, they will get high you AF. If they don't, you and your wallet need to take time off from the holy ganja.

this place was great and has lots of products to offer. Deff will be going here alot and making it a home base for me. keep it up the great work.

Friendly and very, very helpful.

The one and half hour drive from Boston was worth it, friendly service and great meds.

It is a shame to hear people disparaging NETA in Northampton. Most of the complaints are based on a lack of understanding of the state regulations on MMJ in Mass. As a patient, first of all, the legal access to a variety of products is welcome. I have been in NETA on days of long lines where they have implemented an express system effectively, and even with the busiest times I have never felt rushed by a bud tender and they have always been honest in their assessment of any products I asked about. In general, everything has been as advertised, and the bud tenders genuine enthusiasm about giving you a smell is nice, even if it is clearly a trained behavior. They enjoy it too. Since I have actually read and taken the time to understand the laws in MA, I am hopeful that the quality and diversity of what is available will continue to improve. So far, so good.

These guys are the best in the state all around. Real, local grown flower so you know what you are getting. Menu updated often. True professionals. Beware of the illegal sellers, you never no what you are getting. These guys are for real.

very nice building and staff. I've gone a handful of times and the product has only gotten better. So far I found Walker Kush to really be consistent and Jack Frost I just tried and it's a great Sativa which is normally what I tend to like. Walker Kush has been the best Indica I've had. NETA will be my go to. Might visit the Brookline building soon the Northampton one is 20 mins from me.

Quality, but not variety - especially of sativas. Use express online ordering. The lines are much shorter.

Went the first Saturday after adult use became legalized. Nice store and friendly staff, even with all the customers flooding in nonstop.
