Alternative Therapies Group (ATG) (Salem - Medical)

Not a welcoming place. Metal detector right when you walk in they then make you watch a 5 minute propaganda video that looks like it was produced by the Reagan administration. They are strictly cash only with an ATM that has a $2.50 surcharge conveniently located outside the front door. No debit? It's 2016... Overall there are more welcoming dispensary with a better/larger selection.

I came for some pain relief marijuana. They would only sell 3.5 grams at a time. The stuff did nothing and the whole exercise was frustration from top to bottom. They had advertized organic but it was not. I had to sign that it was OK for them to use pesticides and fertilizers that contain heavy metals. UGH UGH

Great variety and staff is very helpful and knowledgeable.

The groomers aren't the best as the buds aren't manicured to a medical level, esp., when compared to others. Also esp. considering they are more pricey than the others this is unacceptable. Few specials either. The bud is A quality otherwise. Need to have a broader selection as well. Old building, etc. I liked Bob the security guard, he was always friendly and cool.

With all the options available I wasn't sure where to go my first time. After trying ATG first, everywhere I've gone for delivery since has not been nearly as good. The price is slightly more so that some people might be turned off, but I believe the quality is worth it.

I was very satisfied with the service and product at ATG. The entire staff was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. The handbook is so helpful. I love the pages they included to track and monitor different strains. This will definitely help me to learn how different strains affect and reduce symptoms of chronic pain, headaches as well as my depression, anxiety and insomnia. I was very pleased to see they also have a room so patients can speak in private with an employee. Brianna was especially helpful in helping me to determine which method would be beneficial for daytime to treat my depression, anxiety, and chronic spinal pain. The Serious 6 oil is amazing! Immediately felt relief (physically and mentally) that lasts a few hours. And the Granddaddy Purple (flower) is truly an all over body pain relief and put me right to sleep. Gdp could also stand for God damn potent! Thank you ATG for your professionalism and respect! I will gladly continue doing business with them and recommend to others!

the RSO is insane, both in quality and price, lol the quality is very very high, so is the price, 125 per ml is high, but its strong as god damn hell....and the only place that has it around, so props there. The herb has a ways to go, stupid that you cant see it and thc levels are a joke, but i see good things for this place...just need more time....second best dispensary so far...

Update: Strain selection getting better. Craft Reserve gets 5 stars. Buds still somewhat dry, and the trim still needs improvement. Staff great.

the gorilla glue just few tokes and you are all sett

Friendly, professional staff. Nice facility. I love it here, but it is too far from where I live. Salem was the first dispensary location and it shows. They have all the bugs ironed out. I have been here quite a few times and I have always been more than happy.

Make sure u check there menu. Not always updated.

This is my first visit to a dispensary since becoming prescribed and it was a great experience. A security guard greets you at the door and confirms your appointment. After giving them your card and proof of identification you used to register, you are led into a room to watch a quick 10 minute video from their Chief Medical Officer talking about differences between indica and sativa and ways to administer the medicine. After that, you take a number like at the deli counter and wait to be called to the counter. There is a limited menu of maybe 4 strains, and they also sell oils. The Ounces are $350 and the ovape cartridges are 60. The Rick Simpson oil which comes in at 75% THC and 25% CBD runs about $125. The whole experience was painless and professional, and the quality of the flower is better than anywhere I've seen. I expect the quality to get better in time, as well as the varieties the offer. I will be back

Best dispensary all around

So originally I was pretty devoted to the dispensary in Georgetown, but after that closed down, I started going to ATG. The first few times I went we’re honestly nothing special, but I will say the customer service at this dispensary is far greater then any I have experienced. For example, I have one of those O.pens that you attach the cartridge to, but for some reason the cartridge wasn’t working on my pen. I tried everything, and they told me to bring the pen in and they’d take a look at it. I brought it in, but I had zero money on me, and the young man working at the front counter (I forget his name) helped me out and went above and beyond what was required of him. It turned out that my o.pen was an old style and that’s why it wasn’t working, so he went out to his car and gave me his spare battery that he had for no charge. I wish I could remember his name because this man deserves a raise!!!!

I had an epidural steroid shot in my spine Wednesday November 21st and I without a medicine on Thanksgiving I knew it was a long shot but the Ave Leafly said that you guys were open I drove all the way there and you guys were closed. Other Medical dispensary said they were closed on Thanksgiving but you guys said you guys were open

The dispensary is easy to get to in Salem. The flower is often dry and I find the cartridges we're really hard oil. The prices are high and very limited selection of Edibles. it's okay for a pre roll.

Thier menus are on TV's that change way too quickly. I review the menu before I go into a dispensary, but I tend to add extra stuff aside from what I was planning on getting out of excitement but it is impossible to review the menu in store so I never add anything extra here. Their loss $$. I dont find the staff to be that helpful either.

This is my go to shop. Extremely convenient. The flowers are of high quality and consistent. The Cobbler is one of my favorites.

Service and atmosphere are great but I have tried every strain they offer, whether it's indica, sativa, or hybrid, as well as the vials and nothing seems to work. Maybe my tolerance has been built up to a very high standard but I can smoke all their stuff til I'm blue in the face and won't feel a thing

Always a stress free experience. Yes, the buds could use better trimming but it's a work in progress and they are trying hard. Everybody that I have encountered here has been very nice.

I've been to Brockton and I like this location (Salem) better. The only downside is the online scheduling of appointments to visit. Wish they would improve that. They have the very best vape cartridge tankers I've ever had! First I tried Headband (indica) Hits your body very nicely and removes pain and anxiety, goodbye stress. The taste is a little harsh though. Gorilla glue - I really like this sativa for daytime chilling use as it helps time pass. Taste is tolerable Jack the Ripper- sativa is good for productive daytime use. I can drive and function fine. Tastes good. Afghani- I wasn't that thrilled with this indica. Didn't do much for me. I won't repeat this one. Cobbler- my favorite vape ever! This strain is awesome for nighttime use. Just amazing. Super euphoric and chill real hard. Will buy this again. I removed one star of service because you have to make an appointment online and it's tough for me because I live 1.5 hours away. Love this place. I can't wait for them to make edibles. I'm curious to try the decarb oil. Please open a dispensary near the New Bedford are.

Great quality, and staff is very friendly, caring and knowledgeable. My only issue is the lack of selection in sativa co2 oil cartridges.

One of the top 2 in MA. Staff, esp. Kadir and Yajaira make sure you have a successful experience. Blue Dream, Grandaddy Purple, Captn's Cake, White Russian are usually in in PURE GLASS Cartridges (they need to ditch the plastic, adulterated others!)...and Blissful Wizard and some Kush's are there for the gettin'. Classic Strains,Great staff. My Go-to place!

I am disapointed that they didn't have the rick simpson oil! Other than that very good customer service and some good flowers! Hopefully they will have the rso oil soon, I have medical issues that the oil can treat on it's own!
