Mission Georgetown: Adult Use Menu

5/20/2017
Even by the high standards set by the dispensaries I frequent, the staff here stands out with a tangible sense of passion for the plant and the benefits it offers each patient. Brandon took all the time I needed to show me each of the many strains that interested me. He gave so many fascinating details in addition to answering all my questions about each strain and all of the edibles, with an engaged, calming demeanor that was particularly beneficial to someone like myself treating anxiety and depression. Indeed, everyone who I interacted with was friendly and full of knowledge and it made for a uniquely pleasant time. I went home with perennial favorite Blue Dream and most of the quarter was comprised of two huge, dense, beautiful buds so perfect that it killed me to break them up! This kind of care for superior cultivation speaks volumes. And I'm just as impressed by the unparalleled effects of my medicine. Since first using it in Amsterdam and many times in LA, I can honestly say I have never had a more beautiful, potent batch of Blue Dream than what I took home from Healthy Pharms. And I am equally satisfied with the lozenges! Just one was perfect for unparalleled relaxation, surprisingly potent with lasting effects in easily manageable doses. I have no complaints but I do have one suggestion: I would love it if the menu descriptions for edibles included whether it leans Indica or Sativa. (I confirmed from the staff that the lozenges I purchased were Indica-derived, and I hope I’ll benefit from the same effects with future purchases!) This dispensary exceeded my expectations and truly raises the bar for everyone else. I can't believe how much I lucked out that it opened up so close to me! But even if I lived far away I would still make it my new go-to: everyone who benefits from medical cannabis will especially benefit from Healthy Pharms.

Alternative Therapies Group (ATG) (Salem - Medical)

Everything about my first experience at Alternative Therapies Group was truly outstanding. After six months of very mixed reviews, I went in somewhat cautiously, but was immediately calmed by every single employee: it may sound over the top, but this is possibly the kindest, friendliest, most welcoming staff I have EVER encountered at ANY place of business! The prices are comparable to most caregiver services, and the orientation process isn’t nearly as long or cumbersome as I expected: a video message from the medical director that runs about 12 minutes, a few minutes of introduction to everything by the extremely friendly staff director, and three consent forms to sign along with a stack of surprisingly helpful literature to take home. I arrived ten minutes early for my first-time visit and was let in right away, and the entire duration of my visit, including the orientation, was only 35 minutes. The employee who waited on me was fantastic, offering personal insights into the medicine available and demonstrating how to use the o.Pen that I decided to purchase. I treat anxiety, depression, and severe muscle tension with medical cannabis, and the employee personally recommended the evenly balanced hybrid Serious Happiness in treating the former as well as the Afghani o.Pen cartridge, which is relatively high in both THC and CBD, for treating the latter. The medicine is pre-packaged in a prescription bottle which details everything from when it was harvested and packaged to the estimated cannabinoid contents. And when I got home and opened up my bottle I was greeted by a cotton-candy like smell and big, fresh, buds covered in sugary crystals: the most beautiful batch of cannabis I have ever seen outside of The Netherlands. The staff member’s recommendation lead to Serious Happiness being the best anti-anxiety AND anti-depression medicine I have ever taken, and in turn it has immediately become my new favorite strain--I can’t wait for this Serious Seeds limited edition to appear on Leafly so I can rightfully rave about it! Furthermore, the results of the Afghani oil in treating pain proved to be unrivaled, and introduced me to the benefits of CO2 oil, which I am sure I will be making great use of in the future. The employees all made me feel so truly welcomed every step of the way, and their interactions with returning customers indicated that this is a place where people can continually return to feel safe, comfortable, and understood treating a variety of visible and/or invisible ailments. I am so grateful to ATG for a life-changing first trip to a dispensary. Due to the tight DPH restrictions, ATG may not look like a CA or CO dispensary, but once inside you couldn’t feel any more at ease thanks to the staff, and the quality of the medicine is almost beyond compare. I look forward to returning, and I enthusiastically recommend Alternative Therapies Group to every MA patient!

Caregivers United responded to my initial text in only three minutes: I was registered the following day, and the day after that, I got my first order. It all took less than 48 hours, from the time I was anxiety-ridden and unsure of how to acquire medicine to the moment the friendly driver arrived with my order. Every step of the way, Caregivers United made the process simple, easy, and transparent, and kept me posted with up-to-the-minute text messages to let me know the driver’s progress. Professional, compassionate service throughout and among the most outstanding medicine I have ever come across here in Massachusetts. As an autistic adult suffering daily from general anxiety disorder, the superb customer service was as beneficial as the medicine itself. Thus, I truly cannot thank Caregivers United enough for the role they played in changing my life for the better, nor can I recommend them enough to fellow patients.
