Alternative Therapies Group (ATG) (Salem - Medical)

Not worth the EXTREMELY inflated price. Nice facility and people, but the product (if available) isn't worth the price.

A little bit too clinical, but the proof is in the amazing product. I purchased Blue, Girl Scout Glue, and White Rhino. Each strain was unique, frosty as eff, and beautiful.

Excellent shop that is quick and efficient

Have zero complaints. Line management has been on point the last 4 or 5 times I've visited. I generally go on Wednesdays around 5:45 to 5:50 and I'm usually out by 6:15 or 6:25 at the latest. The quality has been excellent, I haven't purchased anything I haven't loved.(except that golden ticket pre-roll but that was my bad as I knew it was high CBD when i bought it). I did get a UKU cartridge, 500mg, that lasted like 2.5 days with minimal use. The new UKU Slims are great, lasts about a week with moderate use. I'm a happy camper so thanks for what y'all do.

Good flower. Extra tax because of the city.

Pros: They serve their purpose...when they're not running out of product, which is most of the time. And they're right in my home town. I like the appointment format. I rarely wait outside more than 15-30 minutes tops Cons: always running out of product (currently out of flower and went back to only serving medical until further notice). Staff is mixed - some are great. Others are - meh. Taxes not included in the price. You have to buy the batteries separately from the vape cartridges (an additional $20). I've started driving an hour and a half out of my way to Leicester for better service, product and prices.

An updated review.... As of right now I've been to all 3 dispenaries multiple times and even though NETA is great, I think ATG is doing a similar service in a different format. Their flowers are trimmed better than before and are high quality flowers for the lowest price around right now. I would definitely recommend this place out of the current options.

First time there and found the sales people friendly but after leaving found the two cartridges had large air bubbles causing no vape or smoke. Sales didn't inform that cartridges should be stored UPRIGHT after user. Also if bubble occurs, you can remove by 'burping'. They made good and replaced carts. They state it's a new product and want to hear all comments about them. I am a new medical user and they need to provide more info to us rather than just selling.

So I finally got my certificate from dph. I cannot say enough about the staff at atg. So helpful, patient and understanding. The quality and variety of products is great.

I love this place. It is so quick and easy, even when it's super busy, the longest I've ever waited is 20 mins. The oils are amazing, hands down the best. The flower, yes we get sick of the same ones for too long, but it is what it is. The staff is excellent, the security is friendly and makes you feel safe. I've been a bunch of times but mostly am helped by Ben or Kate. They are so friendly, funny, and informative and never make me feel anything but welcome. They have answered all of my questions and are just great down to earth people. It seems they all are. Anyway, I would go for sure!!

Honestly, I'm very torn when it comes to ATG. great staff both friendly and knowledgeable the multiple times i visited. The product was always very dried out probably to avoid mold while prepacked but it had good flavors and effects. The problem I had was pricing and the fact everything is prepacked, you cant inspect your product prior to purchase, heck you can even see it because its all locked away under lock and key hidden which kills the atmosphere of an already depressing feel of being inside the old brick building with flourescent lights. Thats my other real gripe but its the cities fault for making them go to an industrial building for a retail store because theyre too scared to put cannabis in the light.

Where do I begin... I have been using marijuana for over 30 years and the best pot I have ever seen anywhere in the world comes from ATG. Seriously, their flower is top notch. I love that they offer old school strains like chronic and blueberry plus they have some new stuff that i have only read about in magazines like captain's cake, amesia hayze. Their girl scout cookies is a lot more potent than what i got at the other place - great smell too. You guys are the best. I would like to see some distilled cartridges on the menu, or maybe some shatter soon please!

Wow, virtually no waiting...any waiting was to decide which of the many strains to choose and how much to purchase (no limits, yeah). The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, caring and the product quality was outstanding! Looking forward to my next visit. Thanks for the great experience ATG...keep on setting the bar!

They may not have as much as the Brookline dispensary but they have hands down the BEST vape cartridges. Nobody has come close. It's CO2 extracted and is so healthy and clean. Telling you. And they are getting more stuff everyday. I'm loyal to ATG now

I enjoy visiting Salems dispensery. Always look forward to seeing the friendly staff from the security to the counter. I learn something new every time i go which is a few times a month. The concentrates are my focus when visiting. Always a few great strains to choose from. Always something there for you. The delivery side is failing, 2 sites I've used are already shut down. I highly recommend taking the trip to Salem, also a great town to visit.

I was very happy, first security is excellent. I suggest you bring cash, there is ATM outside if needed. I was very happy with selection. I purchased two chambers of oil that really helped my health issues.

Great staff, nice facility. Low inventory since they opened up recreational.

Top quality product and very professional staff. Price was a little higher then expected, but overall a great experience. Highly recommend.

I had my appointment the last of the day... They made a large group of people wait outside basically on the street where everyone can see you until your appointment time then they let you in one by one which takes 20 min. After this there's a 15 min video and orientation that describes everything and the product that they offer... Finally they hit us with oh ya we only have one strain left And BTW this is it for a while maybe like another month because there's no lab to test out our product before we can sell it ... 47 for an 8 not bad just didn't want a hybrid strain.

I think that this is the best place currently open legally to buy fresh flower. I have not tried any of the oils but the flowers are flushed right and burn good. They all taste especially great out of a volcano vaporizer. The only complaint that I would make is that sometimes they are a little on the dry side because of the containers that they use. I always empty mine into glass jars with Boveda 62 humidity packs as soon as I get home and everything seems normal by the next day. I can't wait until they get the Gorilla Glue back in stock! That is truly a great strain for me but the rest are all equally worth having in your cabinet as well. For now you will have to look elsewhere for edibles, but don't waste money elsewhere on poorly flushed flower like I did. Go to Salem, you will taste the difference.

As a resident of Salem, the location is extremely convenient. That aside, let me quickly comment... 1. Quality: every product I've purchased has been great. The prices are also good. Over time, their selection has expanded and hours have been extended. I feel that this is a place that gets better as time goes on. 2. Service: everyone I've come in contact with at ATG is friendly, talkative, and helpful. This extends even to the security, which is contracted. I have never had a bad service experience here and I come about once every two weeks. 3. Atmosphere: calm, welcoming, and professional. I love that ATG features local artists. The facility is spotless (it also has bathrooms), well-maintained, and located in a quiet, residential area that feels safe. On your first visit, you sit through a quick orientation and ATG provides you with a thick, detailed packet of information about marijuana, what it does, the strains they cultivate, and more. You leave here feeling that ATG really understands how helpful a medicine marijuana can be and that they are truly dedicated to their mission.

The product is fantastic. They have a limit on the amount of flower you can buy per visit, but you will not have to worry about quality - it's been very, very good everytime. I had never used the cartridges before (they didn't have flowers my first visit so I grabbed some) and they are excellent - very easy to use, portable, discreet... overall they are awesome. The only negative right now is the one location and limited amount you can purchase but that will get better over time. They're doing as good as they can considering the state laws/procedures they have to abide by right now. The process IS safe and relatively easy... never had any problems. For first visit plan on being there 1-1.5 hours... after that it is quicker.

Please update to match inventory? Thanks

I was one of their first patients, and the flower was awesome.. After a while their flower turned to crap. I stopped going. I decided recently to go give them another try, mainly because they now cary the UKU carts. I decided to give the flower another shot and was amazed. Everything tasted as it should, not all the same flat nasty taste. The terps we're all there and that's what it's all about folks, the terps not the THC. And thanks for treating us medical patients like we should be treated, unlike other dispensaries who have recently turned rec. I went on Saturday the past two weeks and waited zero minutes. Keep up the good work
