Alternative Therapies Group (ATG) (Salem - Medical)

Not a bad place. Bud was ok, a little larfy but potency wasn't affected. Not a fan of the deli-style setup. Customer service was above average, they were able to answer questions quickly. There are other places I'd prefer to visit, though.

First and favorite! Never a complaint, good yet small and consistent strain selection. Great flower!! Would recommend.

Place is Awesome. Best bud hands down. Can't go wrong grabbing granddaddy pure or the captains cake Girl Scout cookie. Love the chocolates just wish you had a wider range of edibles and wax, shatter, moon rocks.

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

The best medical bud in Massachusetts! Craft Reserve Oul Had a super high %

Clean, everyone was extremely nice. I had a very positive experience. 😊😊

I'm a little annoyed with the oil cartridges I purchased for the 1st time. The dude said like 1-2% will be defective and may clog...well I got one and 1/3 way threw the cartridge it clogged and the juice backed up in part of the chamber that isn't accessible. Went back yesterday and got a new one and they gave me one without any problems, however today I started using it for the same exact thing to happen at 1/4 way threw. Now I have to make a 3rd trip there this week! The bud was okay, but i don't think I would continue buying unless I get a good discount

So today was my first visit to this place, I have been to many other dispensaries and this place was the most unfriendly, unprofessional and rude. I saw online that they had discounts of some sort but when I got there,they told me that there wasn't any. It wasn't what I was expecting in service. People working there make it seem like they are doing a favor by being there, they need to really step up their game and start treating people in a different manner. And of course I would never shop here again.

I bought some of the amnesia haze with 32% THC becuz I like higher potency. I was very happy with it. There was no line and the prices were fair to me.

I love cobbler! I love alternative therapies! Only Marijuana Dispensaries in Massachusetts worthy of your business! I love gorilla glue too!

Place is really at a low point right now. You would think being the first dispensary open in the state they would be on the upswing. Been coming here since it opened, I live 5 min away. Last visit, 1 type of oil cartridge, limit 2 per person. 4 of the exact same strains since the fall. No sativas ever,no edibles. Customer service is great except for 2 girls who are permanently miserable, I'm sure other visitors know who I'm talking about. Cmon guys your slipping badly.

I bough ATG's "gorilla glue" because it is on sale right now. Wow - amazing strain. I will be back soon.

I really like the dakini kush and gorilla glue. Keep up the good work :-)

Not your grandpa's ganja. Amnesia haze over 34% is crazy. Love this place!

I was treated very poorly and will not be returning. Everyone there has always been very kind but today, that was not the case. Out of the approximately 50-70 items I have purchased, I have had to return something four times. Always cartridges, once it was leaking out into the container they give it in, once the bottom came off and it would no longer work (this has happened multiple times but I only returned it once), and the last two times I returned the Marion Berry Kush cartridge and it wouldn't work on my pen. I brought it back in the second time, and it was right after I left that I returned, and was treated very poorly. I've always had good experiences with the workers and the nice man manager but today was completely different. The girl made me feel like a fool. She said I couldn't return anything else. She was very rude in the way she was speaking. I have been going to this location since right after they opened, gave them $1000's, and that's how I get treated? I was so upset that I went and spoke with the male manager. He was very apologetic. He explained that they were short on workers and it's been very busy, they were supposed to have two people start that didn't, and that she was probably just stressed. Because he was so nice, I walked away feeling better. I didn't wanna blame all of them for one rude girl. But then the girl comes out (and if you've ever worked customer service you know what this means) and she's smiling big and laughing. Hands it to me and in a high pitched (fake) voice says "Here you go! Have a nice dayyyy!". I was just like wow, what a rude girl. Because of her, I will not be back. That is the ONLY reason. If you're not gonna take items back that don't work, why would I want to waste my money?

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.

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.

Did not like the draft vapes - both did not work properly for me and when I contacted them, no one contacted me back. Was a waste of at least $100. Flowers were nice, but hard to believe the THC %'s they were advertising. Strangely hard to see these guys surviving the coming avalanche of dispensaries that will be opening over the next year, esp. after legalization passes in November.

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!

The flower was ok, I've been using the o-pen vape cartridges which have been amazing. The flower on the other hand... Horrible trimming... I pay for bud, not lazily trimmed buds... The amount of leaves remaining on the bus was completely unacceptable in my eyes, definitely something they need to work on... Quality of the bud was good, but the trimming was subpar to pathetic... Not sure if it was done intentionally to keep the weight up, or what, but that would have to change for me in order to use this place consistently.

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

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.

Had my appointment today with ATG. What an improvement over the first time I went!! 4 strains in stock right now: Cobbler, Gorilla Glue, GDP, & Northern Lights. You WANT the Gorilla Glue. NO LIMITS ON PURCHASES!! I had no wait and walked right up to the counter once I was checked in. I arrived on time, so I was let right in - at 11am on a Tuesday. No parking lot wait at all. Staff was great, got my fill of flowers, and even picked up an O.pen vape. $20 for the batteries, $60 for a 250mg cartridge. White Widow/Big Bud, GDP, & Pineapple Chunk in stock. Buy up to 4 at a time. Bit on the $$ side, but great stuff. Fire up and forget! Quality is high, very nice yield on everything, and it all tastes great. It looks like the grow house has caught up with the sales window... Still feels like an RMV though.

I use to love this place but the new people they have in there are so unfriendly it's just not worth going anymore, on top of that when I went in over half of the menu was "temp out".
