Northeast Alternatives - Adult Use
6/9/2019
This is the only dispensary I've been to, but I've done a lot of research into the others around Eastern MA. I really like the easy access (no satellite lots/shuttle), and fast moving lines (the fist time I opened the door, I groaned at the long weaving line inside but the door guy assured me it would move fast-it did). The bud-tenders were helpful, and the transaction was quick.
I picked up about 6 kinds of flower, a few edibles, and a cartridge. I'm not sure why some strains have testing info (%THC/CBD), and others don't. But, I'm enjoying performing some testing of my own. Everything seems to be more expensive than it should be, but prices are reasonable compared to Patriot Care, which is about a mile away from where I live. Cartridges, while apparently more expensive according to more experienced dispensary shoppers, are much cheaper here than other places in the area.
I wish stocks were more consistent, in that they didn't go down to scraps before they re-ordered. I also wish they had tinctures on a regular basis. I think I saw them there once, and never again.
I see they are now stocking pipes, bongs, etc, and I think this is a mistake. There are plenty of head shops around, and they should be allowed to co-exist. Also, showing people equipment will increase the time they have no spend with customers for non-cannabis product related service, resulting in longer lines/wait times.
