Alternative Therapies Group (ATG) (Salem - Medical)

Best Dispensary in MA. Always highest quality both flower and large selection of concentrates

I like their oPen cartridges a lot. I've tried Jack the Ripper, Headband, and Gorilla Glue and liked them all as capes. I also got some Gorilla Glue flower and thought that it was of very high quality. Nice people there too.

Friendly and informative staff

Salem local here, and am really dissatisfied with this place. The flowers are good but its a dispensary they should be good. Also they could be trimmed alot better. They rarely have sativa plants because they dont yield as much flower(what i was told). Which is a poor excuse for they dont get enough money off them. Also theyre oils are over priced and very low levels of thc for oils. They still dont have edibles which is ridiculous seeing some people can only eat there thc. Every other dispensary has edibles and they have all opened months after the Salem dispensary opened. This place doesnt cater to the medical needs of there patients. They are just interested in taking there money. They are also looking to open a second location, what a joke!

I bought an eighth of 5 different strains last week. I thought every one of them was excellent! Amnesia haze is crazy strong - i only use that one when I am not going anywhere. Dakini kush is really nice, pineapple express. You can't go wrong with this dispensary.

Awesome dispensary! They usually have a decent number of menu selections in flower and concentrates. Their staff is helpful and friendly and help to make it worth the long drive to go visit them. looking forward to more products as they add to their existing offerings and expand into edibles and topicals. They are great at updating their website with their daily selections which helps with determining if it is a good day to make the drive or better to wait. My only wish is that they carried more high cbd options.

5 Star, Great Staff, couldn't ask for better service.

A round of applause to ATG for being forward thinking and minimizing the effects of doing their first day of rec sales by doing it by apointment only.This clearly shows that they think of the neighborhood when making business decisions which is very unselfish of them and i wish them all the best in doing their rec sales.Not enough good things can be said about their products,their employees and their consideration of others outside their business..

I’m a recreational smoker. I’ll put it this way: i wouldn’t buy this quality bud on the street at these prices. Not they’re fault taxachusetts is ridiculous. Besides the point, I’ve been here 3 times and for all 3 times the quality of bud has been the same and great quality. I’ve seen better but the first time i got a bag here i was very impressed. I’m shocked people rated the quality bad and I’ve been an avid smoker for 10 years now. Bud is amazing here it’s worth to treat yourself once in a while if you can afford it because if you are like me, you’ll be spending hundreds of dollars a week to keep up with tolerance. Nugs are strong smelling and dense. If i could post a picture i would. Everyone is very nice there. Line can get crazy during peak hours. I suggest Monday morning i was in and out today. The menus can be confusing they might not have what they post or have stuff that isn’t posted although it’s become a lot better, not exact yet but you can tell they are putting effort to improving.

Great product, friendly knowledgeable service. Would love to see a more earthy atmosphere but I'm sure that will come in time. Highly recommended.

All of the associates (including manager(s)) are helpful and informative. The flower is beautiful and generally well trimmed. The CBD salve, chocolates (delicious) and capsules have all been of consistent high quality. It is like a deli but, you can check out the buds on a table. I was bummed when 3 months ago, they started offering $50 off an order of $100 for first time clients and could not extend it to me as a courtesy.

Very impressed, but pleaseeee put older bud on sale or rotate inventory. It's great quality bud, as good as it gets if it's "fresh". No qualms elsewise, security is super kind as well. Easy quick trip, and lots of 🔥 choices for sure!

I was there during the 'incident' and the girl whom did her return was super polite and explained to this lady why she might be having trouble with her cartridges. I dont know what kind of service ehardy worked for, but usually when someone is nice to you, it makes for a pleasant experience. ATG has provided nothing but awesome customer service, and everyone there is knowledgeable and helpful. Definitely go and see for yourself. Thanks ATG!

This continues to be my favorite dispensary for flower on the North Shore, especially their GDP! And it's the only place I know of that carries CBD capsules, which I can't live without. Thanks ATG for remaining consistent.

I purchased "Cobbler" yesterday, and I have to say, I am very happy with the quality. It is super frosty nuggets and the people were all helpful. Keep up the good work atg!

ATG is where I go as a regular medical marijuana patient and they are super helpful and educated on what they offer. I have been able to find a variety of strains that help with my anxiety and racing thoughts in order to get better rest and relaxation. They are also beginning to sell glassware, edibles, and topicals in the near future. Convenient location for North Shore and Boston-based patients.

Nice...even Bob, the guard. They don't have potent enough tincture or shatter yet. But their flower strain, Gorilla Glue, usually found there makes great rosin tech shatter.

Amazing job! staff was nice and helpful. no obnoxious lines or hours of waiting. in and out within a half hour. very accommodating

I'm a recreational user and I have been there 4 times. The appointment only method works well in that it greatly reduces the wait time. Parking is adequate and I was able to park on street a short walk away. Staff is friendly and unhurried. My one gripe is that the online menu does not match the actual menu which you don't see until you actually get your turn. Correction: One one of my visits they had printed copies available as you checked in. I realize that demand far exceeds supply and the supply is always changing. However, greater effort needs to be directed to making the online menu match the real menu. I would think this would be helpful to the flow of customers in that it could reduce the time spent when the customer finally gets his/her turn.

I need to give ATG credit. They overcharged me 4 of the last 5 visits. They always forgot the 10% patient appreciation discount. After a month, speaking with the store manager and above at ATG. Now when there is a discount offered it will be automatically applied rather than the budtender manually entering it. This is medical only. Thank you for stopping the overcharging.

buds and co2 oil are A+ wish they had buds on display and some edibles would be nice but still happy with everything i have purchased from them.

Very clean even during renovations!!! Friendly and extremely helpful staff

It was a very sterile atmosphere inside. White walls. Fluorescent lights. A bit of waiting. The lady tried to help me understand why she wouldn't be able to sell me ten ounces. I was breaking the bank for one. Parking lot atmosphere was comfortable

I've never been to a more unprofessional, rude, and dirty dispensary in my life. Just moved to the area and was very excited to check out ATG. Upon arrival it was pouring rain and the man made me stand outside for about 5 minutes before allowing me into the waiting lobby. When I entered, there was a woman who was a caregiver for her dying husband, bawling her eyes out because all of her paperwork was 'not valid' despite nothing being expired. I felt horrible for her but continued to mind my own business as I didn't know the exact circumstances. The waiting room was dirty, poorly lit, and quite uninviting but again, figured maybe the actual store was better. The woman behind the counter wasn't talking through the divider but rather off to the side, I couldn't hear her so I just slipped my ID and medical card though. A minute later, she very rudely told me my card expired over a year ago. I said "Oh, I just renewed it and got this card from the state, does it say what's wrong with it?" She then proceeded to tell me, 'I should know'..... I left without hesitation and will NEVER EVER come back to this place. They clearly don't care about the patients and rather treat it like some elite back alley drug deal. NOTE:: after contacting the DPH I was told that everything was good to go and there shouldn't have been any problems.
