NETA - Brookline (Boston) - Rec

I miss NETA. My first dispensary as a patient, I was a regular weekly customer for years. Now it's a recreational circus. I know they claim to give priority to patients but that's become impossible. Last time I went, a big argument broke-out at the door while I tried to get inside, then I had to wait in line for the only 2 registers set-aside for patients. It was so loud. The bud tender was totally distracted and did not talk to me at all. I still think NETA has the best flower (I miss you Jack Frost) but the culture has totally changed. It's just not for patients anymore.

Location was easy to get to. Building itself was impressive. Great repurposed building! Staff was great and product got me to write a review.

Old newbie 1st timer. My budmaster was Tim and he was the balls ! Walked me thru all the basics . Had a lot guestions and left with all the answers. Great service , Product and a pleasing experience. Brookline NETA gets my business !

I would move to Brookline if I could find an affordable apartment this dispensary is that good. I mean I can't think of any other dispensary that has as much to offer as NETA does. I have been to every dispensary in the state. this place can get busy so if you suffer from anxiety try and find a time suitable for less of a wait or try there express checkout it's very convient ( if you know what your looking for before coming in ) once again I will be visiting soon and many more times for there TOP NOTCH concentrates.

So let's start at the beginning. When you first arrive at NETA you will notice that there is nowhere to park. Get ready to spend time circling the building while you wait for a spot to open up. Once you do park, you must be careful getting out of your car! NETA is on a main road, and traffic doesn't give a damn if you have to park on the street and get out of your car. I have almost been hit twice, and this is why I don't go there anymore. There is a police detail who stays out front, which is nice and comforting when you have just made a big purchase and want to feel safe walking back to your car. Check in is fast and easy. The inside is huge and very comfortable! Menus ready for anyone who comes inside, and plenty of places to sit while you peruse your options. And there is a pretty big selection to choose from! NETA offers one of the biggest choices in flower that I have seen, and it is all top quality! They do offer a hardship discount for certain customers. Also, be sure to call ahead and ask if they are running any specials! On one of my visits I was told that if I brought in a toy to donate that I would get a discount, which I did! So always call ahead! The online menu is reliable, and so is the staff. NETA talked me into my first vaping experience, which I loved, and gave me my first edible! If you are okay in traffic, then NETA is definitely somewhere you will want to visit more than once. My only recommendation is to make sure you give yourself a large chunk of time to be there. This is not an in and out dispensary like some of the smaller ones in Massachusetts. Each time I have gone there, I have been inside for at least 40 minutes because of long lines. The only reason I don;t go back is because the parking situation scares the hell out of my, but this is definitely a 5 star facility!

Hands down the best dispensary in mass. Super high quality products including an excellent array of edibles and high CBD products at reasonable prices. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Extremely wide variety of products. Will be back soon!

So far of the four I've been to this is my favorite just wish they had more edibles

I've been to Brockton. I've been to Salem. I've tried multiple delivery services. And now, I've truly found the 1st great MMJ dispensary in Massachusetts. NETA is fantastic in so many areas: Product!, service, atmosphere...did I say Product? All their flower is beautiful and plentiful (they had 10! strains when I went this weekend). It's not per-packaged, they let you see it and smell it and they weigh it out in front of you. Did I mention the great service? It's clear that management has told everyone to be super-friendly, and it shows! Everyone I encountered were really helpful and cheery and nice. There are so many positives: the atmosphere is pretty amazing, their building is beautiful, with couches and a very chill vibe. Their packaging and marketing materials are professional and pretty beautiful actually. How about that there is an Express Line and a Full Service Line. You can fill out a menu of what you want, sit on the couch and they call your name when your order is ready. Did I mention that the bud is killer?!!! Go to Brookline now! This place is truly the 1st great dispensary in Massachusetts!

The gold standard of a Mass Medical Dispensary. Awesome atmosphere with an amazing staff that could talk to you for hours about the wide variety of products they offer. It can get crowded some days, but even when the wait is long it's still fun to nerd out with the staff in the meantime. Everything about this place is 5-stars, I highly recommend them!!

I've been to every Dispensary in Massachusetts and Maine The quality and variety far exceeds Anyone's expectations of what a well run Dispensary should be. The Bud Tenders are very well versed on what they dispense, always with a smile To see how they grow their medicine,check out the Utube video of their grow facility. It is cleaner than a hospital. Thanks NETA

I like calling this place "greengotts" bc it's in an old bank. So beautiful inside and the staff is friendly and helpful and the product is always great. Hands down my fave Boston dispensary.

They kept the EXCELLENT decorative decor of the bank that was there before them..^^ points for that. EXCELLENT customer service...went thru the regular line first time cause I didnt know what I wanted or needed as a patient. Their team excelled at getting me on the right path for my problems. Used the express line the next 2 times and the team @NETA talked and knew what I needed and suggested the right trains for me....AWESOME TEAM

It was my first trip to a dispensary and this was a great experience

They are always swamped, don't really prioritize medical patients, and traffic is a nightmare.

Meh............ the best thing about this dispensary is the fact that I can get kief by the the gram.

It is a great place to go to if u need bud and can't find it on your own . Prices are steap and I know they can lower them and still make a profit that is worth it but if they can charge up and people still pay they will . I noticed they charge cheaper for the bud that nobody wants or buys often and they limit the amount of good quality bud u can buy 1/4 . Their shatter and vape cartridges are on point I think and their thc pills are a plus . Being lactose intolerant I wish they made a edible without milk but no biggie . I'm sure the ones they got are delicious. Parking totally sucks there they need to figure out something soon before people start crashing there all stoned after getting their medicine. First time buyers 49 dollars off is a great way to bring people in the door and I recommend every one in mass with a license go there atleast once and take advantage of this deal .

Not well trained staff, informed me of products they didn't have and then would not give me a first time patient discount until I had to pull it up on my phone on there own website.

If there was a dispensary in hell it would be something like this

Since going recreational I have noticed a significant decrease in selection on vape cartridges/distillate. Never any full G and good luck if you have a sativa or indica specific need. Quality seems irrelevant if I have to check back every day for anything to show up.

Honestly the limits are crazy. 1g limit of concentrate. 1/4 ounce limit on flower. Flower quality is not bad. Nothing special tho. Until Neta offers more quantity I will not be returning. 4 just passed. I'll be happy to grow my own meds for a fraction of the price. Would not shop again. Would only refer friend to get free 1/8th. Hope this honest review helps.

I'm going to give you a real review with a real opinion. The people here at this dispensary know nothing of the marijuana culture. I am from the west coast, and visiting here was a joke for finding green. Not a funny a joke neither. A sad and sick one. All they know is profit and taxes. Realistically, this is one of the biggest scams I've ever seen in my life. Holy cow! The 8ths come out to $60 after tax! WOW! HOLY COW! I get half OZs for less than that here of way higher quality and newer strains. They sell a lot of ancient stuff and it's either chemical burnt, poorly treated or just overall below the quality of what the price is. Their prerolls come out to $15 after tax if I recall right. I get prerolls for free or like $3 here, and they limit you of how much you can purchase. I tell people this at home and they laugh historically. No wonder people in Boston think they're big and tough, they're all angry because they can't get or do right. I remember waiting in line forever. I've been to Michigan, Maine and Vermont. Boston isn't the worst though, Washington D.C. is way worse. I won't talk about that though. However, Denver and Seattle are definitely the king's of weed, especially with quality and price. We have good stuff here, but I'll admit Denver has the best of the best.

I’m going to have to say I was a bit disappointed with the quality of a few products after my most recent visit. I purchased a couple pre-rolls that were by far the worst joints I’ve received from any dispensary. I ultimately had to break down and re-roll again. I was super excited to see the brownies back on the menu but after opening the package and finding what looked to be the dessert from a “kid cuisine” frozen meal I was sadly let down. The new recipe not only tastes awful but the brownie which was advertised as 50mg actually only had a total of 46.44mg. Now, I’ve seen products over by .44-2.50 mg dependent on dispensary but never under!!!! Also, Where’s the military discount!?!?!

As a Massachusetts patient, when it comes to finding a reliable dispensary nearby, you could count the options on one hand. For anyone living in the Boston area, I would highly recommend the NETA Brookline dispensary off of Washington St in the old Cambridge Savings bank building. All the product is top-shelf and very reasonably priced considering the quality (from an East Coast perspective). I'd say the only downsides are that strains - especially popular ones - will get sold out very quickly so it's important to check the menu the night before you plan on going in (they update the menu around 9:30pm every night). Additionally, if you are trying to stop by on the weekends, expect a long wait in line. Overall, after 5-6 visits over the course of this summer, I have yet to have an unpleasant visit to NETA Brookline. The commute is a little rough, but the budtenders are always friendly and informative and the product is the best I've had on the East Coast. I rate NETA Brookline a 4.5/5. Would highly recommend for both new and veteran cannabis users.

I tried to call to ask questions about adult use prior to my visit and was hung up on without ever reaching a dispensary staff member. I tried to call again and the same thing happened. A shame, I was really looking forward to my visit while I'm in Boston for the weekend. I expected better based on everything I've seen and read about them. Guess I won't be visiting. Can't comment on the product.
