Alternative Therapies Group (ATG) (Salem - Medical)

Not a bad place. Bud was ok, a little larfy but potency wasn't affected. Not a fan of the deli-style setup. Customer service was above average, they were able to answer questions quickly. There are other places I'd prefer to visit, though.

The medical menu is nice and stocked up, and will never be lacking something that is on the recreational side which is great for the medical patients. There are still some great options over on the rec side, although the menu is a bit smaller. I really recommend the flower from here. Super high quality, snag some of that Pineapple Express if you haven't already!

Couple things why easy 5 stars today 1-10-2017. First, Great job managing the MJ Freeway cyber software f$ck up! I was in and out in 15 mins because ATG had a back up plan enabling them to continue to serve its patients. Secondly, They now offer GSC Flower from seed and it's absolute fire! As nice as Neta if not better. Assuming you like girl scout cookies as much as we all do then run to ATG and get some! Thx again ATG Be Well - Matty

Ok, so if you want it REAL here we go... I've seen the best Buds/Flowers from Holland and all around the world so here's my review of ATG in Salem, MA. I drove up to this place and it was as expected. Parking lot with plenty of spots and a guard checking ID which is great. Then you go inside... Being that I was a first time patient I had to watch a 6 min video about the do's and do not's about using MM which is completely fine with me. After that, you take a number, like at a deli (literally) in a supermarket. When you walk into the main space there are the different flowers they have on display in glass cases to the right so you can see what they look like. Mind you, these specimens are the best they have. The buds you get are not manicured as well as the ones in the cases, and YOU CAN'T LOOK AT or SMELL THE FLOWERS YOU ARE ABOUT TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY ON!!!!! For me, in my honest opinion, this is the most important thing to me when buying high end EXPENSIVE herbals. If you want to have a high end experience... for instance enjoying a nice tasting of wine or cheese etc.. before you by the product, this might not be the best place for you. Also... other dispensary's give a first time patient discount.... The last dispensary I went to in Brookline gave me a 49.00 credit for my first visit.

best products in MA by far. flower is always fresh strain selection is good the decarb oils are bomb so are the cartridges but if i could say something i would like to see more edibles available and in stronger doses

Most definitely one of the best dispensaries in Massachusetts.

Thank you for bringing back the White Rhino. That was the very first strain that I purchased here when Atg first opened for medical. I was wondering for awhile about when that strain would come back. When I bought it yesterday it was very fresh and the buds were beautiful. I missed that strain so much and I'm so thrilled that it's back on the menu.

Ive been to ATG before the Recreational side opened, ive never once had a problem with the product besides a few prerolls but what can you do. Other than that for medical patients the place is great. The flower is top shelf. And the staffs great, i come by almost everydaay, i love it here so much i wish i worked there LOL. Best Flowers are TutanKahmon, Grand daddy Purp, skywalker kush, Blissful Wizard Gorrilla gglue,and the lemon Hazes (2) they need to get cinderlla 99 back ASAP. Try these nugs then try to talk about ATG.

Stopped by and the selection is definitely back up to normal.

They need to start putting at least two people doing medical. I am so tired of waiting 20+ min for 3 medical patients to be helped. Rec is all and good but medical should be priority and deff does not feel like it.

Why do yall stay having the same stuff and quality isnt that good at all

I’m a medical marijuana patient who recently visited this facility and was treated horribly by a female worker. When I was told they didn’t have the 1:1 OVAP cartridges I always purchase to treat my Glaucoma I said to my caregiver standing next to me why are they calling themselves a medical dispensary when they don’t have medication I need for my illness. The female worker at the counter spoke rudely to me and my caregiver. It’s hard to believe all the hard work it took to pass legislation to sell medical marijuana for a facility like this to treat their customers to badly. Signed Discussed not return customer.

ATG used to have the best flower around... doesn’t seem up to par anymore.. Dry.. smells like hay.. seems to be rushed for the demand.. I would not recommend this to anyone who NEEDS quality medicine... the service and atmosphere is Ok...

Horrible experience nobody greets you Im Hispanic and I felt uncomfortable being inside there definitely needs to get some color in there y’all need to get it together being honest I gave y’all second chance and it was horrible no wonder why nobody wants to go there anymore and I honestly don’t need y’all to apologize to me cause y’all still probably not gonna change y’all ways good luck to y’all 👍🏾

Please get more Lemon OG Haze ASAP. By far my favorite flavor

They have great weed.

Great services and fast lines.

Flowers are as they should be at top dollar prices. ATG offers discounts and then doesn't want to honor them .the cashiers are cookie cutter young people, when you questions the cashiers about misrepresntation they go passive aggressive and a acussee you of being rude and confused.can't recommend it.

This place had great flower. Great workers there. Very positive and helpful!! Also got $50 off a purchase of $100 or more for first time visitors. Will be going back for sure.

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!!

The best flower!

I used to go to this location all the time when it was strictly medical, and it was just okay. Now you can’t even get in there. There’s very little parking and there’s always people crowding the lot. If you’re medical, don’t bother. Go somewhere else.

Never had an issue here! Always a good spot to pick up some cannabis. I like their flower the best and looking forward to more strains. Stop by here if you are here for medical reasons or recreational purposes!

Place is really at a low point right now. You would think being the first dispensary open in the state they would be on the upswing. Been coming here since it opened, I live 5 min away. Last visit, 1 type of oil cartridge, limit 2 per person. 4 of the exact same strains since the fall. No sativas ever,no edibles. Customer service is great except for 2 girls who are permanently miserable, I'm sure other visitors know who I'm talking about. Cmon guys your slipping badly.
