I had a lot of questions and Lauren was so helpful in answering all of them. I never felt hurried or rushed by her. So far I've tried the catatonic and gorilla glue. Love the gorilla glue for relief. I know I probably overdid today because I felt like I could and I'll pay for it tomorrow, but maybe when I try the granddaddy purple before bed I'll sleep well and my body will actually be able to recover some.

Love love love everything about ATG. They are consistently consistent and I'm cool with it.
but, I gave three stars for atmosphere due to the horrendous music playing. I always feel like I'm trapped in an 80s movie reel.

Been coming here for almost 4 years and I still love it here! Still great flower and friendly staff.

Outside does nothing for the inside. Nice, secure, inviting atmosphere inside....a little loud but I can work with that. I was reluctant at first because some of the mixed reviews, but if people actually took the time to READ, they would get all the information they needed from the email confirmations to the website. Scheduling was easy. Follow the easy instructions and you wouldn't show up when they are closed. Just saying. No wait to get in. As a new patient, they answered all my questions. Although the video we had to watch was a little boring. Sorry, calling it like it is. Wish I could see and smell the product before purchasing, but everything is pre-packaged. They said they were working on displays to adjust for this. Looking forward to it. Overall, not a bad visit at all. When I finally did get to see my Gorilla Glue, it was bomb! Thank you guys. I'll be back!

Parking, quick service, deli style isn’t the best setup, security guards can make people feel uncomfortable too. However Everything is ok to deal w besides the prices. Quick comparison to other dispensaries will show you this place is wayyyy to pricey. I’ll be back once they fix this problem.

Very high quality flower product. Well known flavors. A lot of selection
Wish they were not phasing out craft reserve cartridges

It was my first time there and I was happy about the staff there they were so helpful and friendly. I did not mind the location because it's close to my house that's the only person about this location. it felt like the DMV when I got inside. I wish they had more flour but I picked up a quarter of canatonic I squished it and made rosin and it tasted so good! it was good because it has a lot of CBD in it and it helped my back pain.

First time checking out this dispensary and I got to say I’m blown away from the quality of the herbs. Usually at dispensaries I get dried out herbs but this time around was not the case. Definitely coming back soon

So today was my first visit to this place, I have been to many other dispensaries and this place was the most unfriendly, unprofessional and rude. I saw online that they had discounts of some sort but when I got there,they told me that there wasn't any. It wasn't what I was expecting in service. People working there make it seem like they are doing a favor by being there, they need to really step up their game and start treating people in a different manner. And of course I would never shop here again.

Place looks dark in dismal inside. Although it is being renovated. 2 out of the 3 times ive been the staff was pretty cold. Most importantly their flower almost always all smells and tastes the same. It's usually 4-6 months old when it's packaged making it stale and all smell the same. I would be very interested to see how it's stored or cured for those 6 months while they're waiting top package it. Ive heard they wait so long because they have to wait for test results. To top it off they're more expensive than most of the dispensaries especially for vape cartridges and concentrates. I only went because they offer some strains others do not have. Hopefully someday they'll improve their flower harvesting, testing, curing and storing methods. Otherwise, I think I'll continue to go elsewhere.

First time in, Sunday 10am, no line. Security guard, window gal, and final entry guy all professional, and friendly too. There is a display case to view while you wait for your turn at the counter. My bud rep answered my questions and was able to calculate my total w/tax in her head as I made my selections. Impressive! In and out in 10 minutes flat. So pleased when I got home. Blissful Wizard is incredibly sticky, almost gooey, and amounts I received were as described. Highly recommend :) Thank you ATG!

The staff here has been wonderful and very informative during my process of learning about medicinal marijuana and what works best for me.

Same crap buds for weeks. Lame! Enough said.

Place was great.. Very helpful people working there... All around a great experience for a first timer

Did not like the draft vapes - both did not work properly for me and when I contacted them, no one contacted me back. Was a waste of at least $100. Flowers were nice, but hard to believe the THC %'s they were advertising. Strangely hard to see these guys surviving the coming avalanche of dispensaries that will be opening over the next year, esp. after legalization passes in November.

This place is very sanitary and definitely has a sterile, medical vibe going on, which you want when you're buying legal pot. Their bud is good, though it could use more descriptions on their site beyond basic chemistry and genetics, but the real hit is their CO2-derived concentrates. THOSE ARE AMAZING.

Definitely worth the Drive. The quality of the flower make the price ok. The service and people was great also. Everyone was very friendly and made you feel welcome. I am glad I finally made the trip from Lowell.
I will be back in the future

I have been a patient at ATG since they opened in June and i have to say, every time i come back they have improved something... the offerings, the waiting line, the on-boarding process, atmosphere, etc... always something improved. Even on the rare occasion when their harvest produce B product they make good on it by offering steep discounts. Last week i got Headband and Jack the Ripper for almost 40% off... it didn't look like their normal product but it worked just fine and i saved good money!
These guys get it. I will definitely be back for more.
Thank you ATG.

The bud is very dry. Some strains are still potent, like the gorilla glue, but the bud is overly dry and seems like it was unnaturally done. I would strongly recommend people try the delivery places rather than this place. Very expensive for not good trim, as well as overly dry bud. Very nice staff though! Nice people working there. Wish the bud was more fresh and better trimmed

Good variety and quality

I’ve been going to ATG for a few months now and have only had a good experience. The guards and staff are super friendly and knowledgeable.
It is located in an old warehouse type building in a sparsely populated area (hence the extra security, I bet) but I never felt nervous. There’s enough traffic in the area and in the parking lot to other businesses that you feel secure. There is an ATM.
For first-timers, they will show you a film and give you handy information to read. They are happy to answer any questions you have, or to let you make a quick, quiet purchase.
They send you home with plastic opaque, child-proof ziplock bags that really lock up the smell as well.
I will continue to buy from here!

Best dispensary by far all the way around
