Alternative Therapies Group (ATG) (Salem - Medical)

Lately there products are old and dried out pay good money for herb and get home and it is like dust when you touch it they never change and only put out new stuff here and there some has sat there for months it's not fair on the consumer I usually have good reviews for them but lately I am dissatisfied I also weigh my product when I get home and some are under also other dispensary's there prices are lower for the same herb and a lot of times much better and fresher all I can say is you decide this is just my opinion and what I see and purchase

All of the bud tenders are terrific! I’ve been using strictly edibles and I tried original glue flower. It works so well for me, no jittery feeling or excessive sleepiness, a perfect balance. Great product, wish it came in edible form.

Although I was disappointed that my order could not be filled by what was on the website this morning (apparently it was part of a bundle, so it was incorrect online.) The two people explained this to me and I understand, mistakes do happen. They helped me pick out two other strains and I was okay with that. Very nice service people.

Katie at the medical counter rocks! Leo, too. Budtenders with solid knowledge and friendly hospitality. Where everybody knows your name :)

Honestly after a rough day at work and needing a little pick me up I ran into one of the nicest and most informative bud-tender his name is Andrew P. Honestly he has been one of most informative person about the flower and even taught me something new about why Indica flower is more popular and easy to find unlike my go to Sativa. Andrew definitely turned my rough day to me having more knowledge about my medicine and happier!

Never any issues. Everyone’s always so friendly and helpful.

Quality as always.

They stick their own labels on top of terrible Curaleaf (literally the worst weed brand in the world) products, then charge the same as places that make their own pre-rolls. Why would I come here when I can get better product at the same price in multiple places within a 15 minute drive?

Dude below me. Order online and stare at the menu dummy. Also curaleaf prerolls are the worst. Got a jungle sweat and it just didn’t smoke. Waste of 15$. But good place, people need to stop being such banana heads and order on fucking line and not waste everybody’s time.

This used to be my fave place. Then the online ordering was acting weird so I called to make sure what it was I should do. Pierre, if that's his name, talked to me like I was trash. As if I was dog crap he had to scrape off his shoe. He had no right. I was never rude ever. You never forget how someone made you feel.

Finally a place where they know about the product there selling you, that's why radio shack went out of business..😎✌️

This place just can't get it together. I have a med card and have switched to buying rec someplace else because of the low quality dry product I've gotten here. Also not sure why prices are going up rather than down? I'm done with ATG.

Went there a few times before i gave my review every time i went and every thing i got was dry as a bone for the price we pay some fresh medacine would be nice the label says its good for a year in the package :-I went today 4/5/2021 says pakaged on 3/31/2021 dry dry dry crumbles to dust

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.

I have been a patient here for almost 2 years and used to love it here when I first went. I first came as a recreational customer and battled Long lines just to have top quality product. 15 mins from my house, couldn’t be better. I noticed recently that things have changed...... They post Incorrect THC % on the website AND sticker that was taped to the pre roll I purchased today. Missing by 5%. Sounds like false advertising to me. I know not everyone buys based on this factor but I consider it very important. And it wasn’t one of the ones with an range, because some flower on their website has ranges for THC %, which is crazy on its own. It happens often here and I have been visiting other dispensary’s and have found quality, service, integrity, and value much higher elsewhere. Not worth the money for product that’s just average, very dry, and often misrepresented. Needed a place on the way home today to save time and sadly it will be my last trip to my first love! It’s been hard recently finding any good medical places local. If anyone has a recommendation I’d appreciate it!

I’m paying nearly $60 for an 1/8 including taxes and getting BAD weed, I don’t understand how It looks so nice but just barely gets you high for about 30 minutes. THC percentage ranges drastically from website and the actual product too: a strain I got said between 18-24% or something and I got the 18% pack, and that’s probs even a lie cause it felt like 5%... ridiculous.

As a patient that has only been here a few times, overall I've had decent experiences. The menu doesn't seem consistent at all, but I can usually count on some decently mediocre medicine.

The only thing I don’t like is sometimes the website will say they have a bunch of flower and when I get to the dispensary they tell me they don’t have any of it. But other then that they usually always have GREAT flower!! Today is my first day I have tried a uKu co2 cart and it’s awesome!! The workers are the friendliest and very helpful. I don’t remember her name but she is short with blonde hair and she is AWESOME!! Absolutely recommend. If you get here at the right times you’ll be in and out, tbh I’ve never waited longer then 10 minutes outside and I’m a rec user!!

Consistency and quickness. Been going before getting my med card and yeah, sometimes it gets busy for recreational but if you catch it at the right time you'll be in and out quickly. Go early to get the best selections. Medical users are always in and out in 10 mins, tops. Show your med card and they wave you through with zero wait. I'm strictly a flower user and the buds are always in great shape, and not dry or crumbly like some other nearby dispensaries. The staff has always been cool to me as have the security guys so I'm not sure what some other people are complaining about. Like anywhere, you do get your share of knuckleheads, entitled patients, and people who won't stop talking in line but such is life. Enjoy!

This is very irritating. I drive all the way out here for the Captain's Cake because it said it was available for medical & adult use I thought that I was good to go but now it is switched to just adult use. Why does this always happen to me? Why is one of the best strains that is used to treat medical conditions only available for adult use? That is absolutely ridiculous & watch...as soon as I get home it will switch again. This ruined my whole evening. Not a happy camper right now.

I’m extremely disappointed w the product at this location. Several of the people who work there are very kind and well informed but since they switched over to recreational, things have changed. First, and most importantly, the product for my needs stinks. Second, their knowledge is variable and their stock has been very low since they went recreational. Ive been a medical patient for a few years and have been fairly loyal to ATG. Yet, as a medically disabled person, requiring multiple visits for returns for defective products, I’ve had enough. It’s not easy for me to organize a visit nor sit in the car for awhile, so returning a week later or going days w out my medicine because of their product failure is incredibly inconvenient. Every single product I’ve purchased recently has been defective. The dabaratus pen springs are stuck and don’t work to dispense my medicine - oh but they are out of stock of the product to exchange and won’t refund it. I tend to buy mainly craft cartridges from them aka PEG free. ATG’s are more expensive than other providers in the region but it seemed like they had a better product for awhile. Not so. The last few CBD/cannatonic “craft” cartridges have been a bust and didn’t dispense medicine. The medicine looked like it was frozen inside and yes I know how to store and properly care for my stuff. We’re talking about a $100 cartridge. The medicine tasted like junk and they gave me a $60 credit back because I had used some of it. Yea , I did use some of it because I kept trying to relieve my pain. The manager told me they figured out the problem and redesigned it. Good for them. Ive also purchased several of their same craft PEG-free cartridges in Sativa, which seeped gel like substances out of the mouth piece into my mouth and theoretically my lungs. Again, they admitted this was a known defect and they said they redesigned them. Take your $h07 off the shelves when you know there’s been a manufacturing people! Medicine, my ass.

Im a medical patient and really like this dispensary. They have a great variety of products, and friendly, knowledgeable staff. They’re a very busy dispensary but they separate the recreational and medical counters. Medical patients don’t have to wait in long lines. Which isn’t clearly posted at the front door, so if you don’t know that you could end up at the end of the recreational user line. Just be sure go to the security guard, show your medical card and they’ll quickly let you right in. I’m usually in and out of their Salem location within 10 minutes 👍🏼.

New location. Amesbury, MA. Excellent staff and helped me choose what I needed. Very professional just like their Salem, MA store. With added convenience!

I will admit that I used to only go here when I HAD to but recently they have been having some AWESOME strains and the Loyalty Points Program is great!!! It's now one of my regular places to stop!!! Even during quarantine! LOL
