Sherbert is back and it's purpleriffic. So good. Ermont does it right.

Not sure why you'd buy your flower anywhere else? Price, potency, proper attention to customers' needs - this is the best kept secret in New England's medical marijuana revolution. (If it's allowed to continue during recreational era, buy stock in RWU.) Picture this: ~20 strains to choose from. Two ounce pricing deals - bet prices in Mass by far. Next day delivery 6 days a week. Frequent updates on delivery time. (Tip your drivers.) If you coordinate your pizza delivery with medication arrival, you've won the game of life. No silly quantity limits, no silly lines and the ease of text ordering. Did sample the shatter (2 g for $100), no complaints and for the price, a good buy. Packaging (wax paper folded up) left a bit to be desired but weight was spot on. Potency was average.

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!!

My fifth of the Original Eight on the dispensary tour. Close to highway, ample parking, easy in/out. Good selection and variety although the dry weed mentioned by earlier commenter is a real thing. Tried Two different strains, both harvested 10-14 days ago and bud was nowhere near as fresh as other shops. Far and away Massachusetts' prettiest Budtender (with brunette hair). Sweet and efficient. Like her product. Downsides: no first time buyer discount or incentive; prices are comparable to other dispensaries but instead of 1/16ths they offer 1 gram, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 (per day limit is 14 grams). Still seem to be only place w RSO and getting deeper into edibles.

This is no. 4 on my dispensary tour and it stands out as being most "legit" looking and feeling. (Milk street, Salem, Quincy are my first 3) Hand out materials are in high end paper and it's a well run site with plenty of help and reasonably paced lines, even at peak. (I was there for 30 minutes observing on a Tuesday at 3p.) (worth chilling in there for a while. Beautiful old bank with amazing ceiling) Flower is gorgeous and good vape and loosies selection. Had shatter but no kief. $49 refer a friend program gets both new customer and referrer $49 off purchase. Nancy was my budtender and couldn't have been cooler or sweeter. You notice at all these places, employees are very engaged and happy. (Insert pot joke here) And it's not the Trader Joe's bullshit happy, helpful people who are just acting like their shirts. They use their product and take pride in it. Nancy's suggestion of flower Flo OG (and vape 5x) was spot on. Added shatter and moonshine haze 1/8th to finish the order. Didn't delve into edibles or any other stock. Great spot, cool neighborhood and there is parking in back and on street.

Plenty of parking, easy in and easy out. Cash only (ATM in parking lot). Has the feel of a dispensary crossed with the dmv. Right down to the deli take a number system. Knowledgeable budtender and prices are in line (even slightly below) other dispensaries. They were out of chocolates and at this point seem to predominantly have flower, vape oil and tincture. Like all of these sort-ups, it will take time but good first experience. Make a day of it and head over to the north shore mall!!

First time at this location and whole staff was super helpful and kind. Tough to park near there so public transport recommended.
