Alternative Therapies Group (ATG) (Salem - Medical)

I've been to Brockton and I like this location (Salem) better. The only downside is the online scheduling of appointments to visit. Wish they would improve that. They have the very best vape cartridge tankers I've ever had! First I tried Headband (indica) Hits your body very nicely and removes pain and anxiety, goodbye stress. The taste is a little harsh though. Gorilla glue - I really like this sativa for daytime chilling use as it helps time pass. Taste is tolerable Jack the Ripper- sativa is good for productive daytime use. I can drive and function fine. Tastes good. Afghani- I wasn't that thrilled with this indica. Didn't do much for me. I won't repeat this one. Cobbler- my favorite vape ever! This strain is awesome for nighttime use. Just amazing. Super euphoric and chill real hard. Will buy this again. I removed one star of service because you have to make an appointment online and it's tough for me because I live 1.5 hours away. Love this place. I can't wait for them to make edibles. I'm curious to try the decarb oil. Please open a dispensary near the New Bedford are.

Cash only establishment. No on-site ATM. Pricing: $47.00 an eighth. Currently Offering Flower Only. Hourly group appts., schedule online in advance. Mine @10AM, a line was outside already. No, I'm not in love with the location. It's out in the open when you are waiting (prepare for this based on the weather!). 1st TIMERS-You get a pkg. of info & forms sign & a video to watch. Leave extra time on your 1st visit for the video 10-15 mins. Aug 5 Menu: Glue Scout Glue Sat/Ind Hybrid(1/4 only); Serious Happiness Sat/Ind Hybrid(Any); Blue Indica (1/8 only). The amount matters based on how much you wanted to buy. I wanted an 1/8 of the S/I hybrids but had to get a 1/4 & an 1/8 since everything is premeasured off site. Returning patients are in & out pretty quick. They have concentrates & misc products on standby once the DPH get the testing in order (only 1 place does it & doesn't test for all of the state req.) Employees were friendly & would ask if they didn't know. Change has to start somewhere & ATG is the 1st dispensary in Mass; DPH doesn't make the process easy. All of the check ins, video/pamphlet info, lack of product is ALL due to DPH regulations. I will be back & look forward to seeing how ATG evolves.

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.

I have been to ATG 4-5 times over the last month (since I got my card). The staff is pretty awesome. They do their best to help with the strains they have available for patients. The are other dispensaries that have more available strains but are quite crowded and ATG never seems to have large lines

This is my go to shop. Extremely convenient. The flowers are of high quality and consistent. The Cobbler is one of my favorites.

Not a welcoming place. Metal detector right when you walk in they then make you watch a 5 minute propaganda video that looks like it was produced by the Reagan administration. They are strictly cash only with an ATM that has a $2.50 surcharge conveniently located outside the front door. No debit? It's 2016... Overall there are more welcoming dispensary with a better/larger selection.

the RSO is insane, both in quality and price, lol the quality is very very high, so is the price, 125 per ml is high, but its strong as god damn hell....and the only place that has it around, so props there. The herb has a ways to go, stupid that you cant see it and thc levels are a joke, but i see good things for this place...just need more time....second best dispensary so far...

the gorilla glue just few tokes and you are all sett

I've gone here several times, and usually get great customer service. However, I've purchased every type of flower on the menu (several times each), and it seems they are poorly trimming their flowers on purpose. If not, why no change? I've heard customers complaining in house, on here (and others like weedmaps), even on Google! The last two packages I purchased had 50% leaves or more, super dry, hardly any actual flower, little to no medical efficacy. You're probably thinking "why didn't this guy look at the product and the turn it down? They don't even let you look at the product before purchasing!

Best dispensary by far all the way around

Friendly and informative staff

I've been to ATG twice now. I love the O.pen vape pens. I wish they were a lil cheaper but I'm happy with them. I got some bud there for the first time today. Was a lot better than I expected after reading reviews on here complaining about bad trim jobs and dry bud. I also grabbed some decarb oil. I am very impressed with that as well. ATG Salem has become my second favorite dispensary on Ma. I know people complain about the RMV feel but I like getting a ticket and sitting down. Read up on the menu a lil and shoot the shit.

Ok, so I agree that this place is slipping, I have been a faithful patient since the beginning. The lack of product really is a problem and I'm sure they are aware of this. What I do know is when they get caught up and the Craft reserve, Captains Cake, and edibles are in, everyone who left a negative review should go visit. You will be glad you did. I love the staff but lately as far as service goes, there is one girl that is miserable, loud, and completely inappropriate and disrespectful. I would recommend trying to go to any of the guys or the blonde girl in the middle as they are so informative and make you feel at home in a way. I know you guys will come back!!

Not enough strains, keep promising edibles.. they have lame excuses for everything. Right now they only gave two buds worth smoking and they are so dry. Also theyre oils are weak as heck. Theyre has been times they have had a really good strain, i guess you could say this place is a hit or miss.

Went on a Saturday.. Very busy had to wait 20 minutes to get the meds.. Good prices, people are very nice. Would go on a less busy day. Overall a good experience..

I wished I lived closer, It's a journey to get there because I live on the S Shore and I got a truck so it's a 2 hour drive and I take the trains instead so I only went once but am planning on another trip soon, I make a day out of it and take in the sights. I went for the Gorrilla Glue when it hit the scene last fall and was all the talk. It was hands down some of the most potent freshest bud I ever saw and it's appearance was just flawless. It's around now and I just got a batch that was as good from a delivery service. Thank god because heading up to Salem is a trip but one I really cherished after my mother died last August I really hit a rut, stayed inside for a few months and wouldn't go out and the day trip up there was memorable after that. I also had my expectations exceeded. Like I said I will be making a trip again for fun soon.

Hi, so I have been to a few locations so far and tried a few delivery services but i have to say this place has great prices and great quality. I know others have said it can be leafy but they do this to preserve the bud and the leaf often times is soooo sugar coated with crystals. I nave also heard they wont show buds before sale and i can tell you just ask, im sure you will be able to see the quality, they dont weight it right there like neta but still you can can refuse a bunch of bottom buds and obviously every place is going to have bottom buds when supplies run low. Personally i have gotten white russian and it had huge thick frosty buds and i got another time and it was a bunch bottom buds. Cobbler was good, gorilla glue obviously the best all around, grandaddy purple wasnt bad and the canatonic lived up to the name. didnt care for the bomb, white rhino. So over all i really like this place and they are technically the cheapest place around for bud, concentrates they are a little pricey but the product is top notch co2 honey.

Outside does nothing for the inside. Nice, secure, inviting atmosphere inside....a little loud but I can work with that. I was reluctant at first because some of the mixed reviews, but if people actually took the time to READ, they would get all the information they needed from the email confirmations to the website. Scheduling was easy. Follow the easy instructions and you wouldn't show up when they are closed. Just saying. No wait to get in. As a new patient, they answered all my questions. Although the video we had to watch was a little boring. Sorry, calling it like it is. Wish I could see and smell the product before purchasing, but everything is pre-packaged. They said they were working on displays to adjust for this. Looking forward to it. Overall, not a bad visit at all. When I finally did get to see my Gorilla Glue, it was bomb! Thank you guys. I'll be back!

Service and atmosphere are great but I have tried every strain they offer, whether it's indica, sativa, or hybrid, as well as the vials and nothing seems to work. Maybe my tolerance has been built up to a very high standard but I can smoke all their stuff til I'm blue in the face and won't feel a thing

This place is very sanitary and definitely has a sterile, medical vibe going on, which you want when you're buying legal pot. Their bud is good, though it could use more descriptions on their site beyond basic chemistry and genetics, but the real hit is their CO2-derived concentrates. THOSE ARE AMAZING.

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

honestly there gorilla glue #4 is Fuego. better than *most* caregivers bud but not all. but I just dont understand stand one thing. I thought dispensary's had to grow from seed only. yet gorilla glue is a clone only strain. so you cant grow it from seed. its passed through the marijuana underworld. its impossible to grow it from seed unless its Backcrossed or its not really gg#4 and its a cross. so which one is it????

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.

With all the options available I wasn't sure where to go my first time. After trying ATG first, everywhere I've gone for delivery since has not been nearly as good. The price is slightly more so that some people might be turned off, but I believe the quality is worth it.
