Alternative Therapies Group (ATG) (Salem - Medical)

Very clean even during renovations!!! Friendly and extremely helpful staff

multiple time shopper. always have the BEST flower selection in MA trust me I've tried them all. picked up a batch of captains cake today. freshly packaged today and it was the best marijuana I have smoked in years. testing at nearly 30%! they have great tinchures which are in my opinion also best in the state. the only areas they lack in are there prerolls. every other dispensary uses raw cones which I think we all can agree are everybodys favorite. also would be nice to maybe get some baked treats in like some pumpkin pie or cookies idk Salem is one of those cities where you can definitely find a bakery to help you out on that front. doing a lot of things right tho honestly I only go to one other dispensary and that is strictly for concentrates. Salem has the best flower and tinchures in the state of Massachusetts hands down.

One of the top 2 in MA. Staff, esp. Kadir and Yajaira make sure you have a successful experience. Blue Dream, Grandaddy Purple, Captn's Cake, White Russian are usually in in PURE GLASS Cartridges (they need to ditch the plastic, adulterated others!)...and Blissful Wizard and some Kush's are there for the gettin'. Classic Strains,Great staff. My Go-to place!

Staff is friendly, informative, and there's always a wide variety of products to choose from.

The staff at ATG are amazing. The budtenders, have an intimate knowledge of the inventory, and help guide me on what's in stock that fit my needs. They make you feel comfortable and welcome. I have tried almost all the products they offer and never been disappointed in the quality. My favorite strains are, Gorilla Glue, Amnesia Haze, Serious Happiness and I really like Granddaddy Purple. If not for the amazing energy the staff spreads, the atmosphere would be more intimidating. When I'm waiting to be called, I feel like I'm in a hospital waiting room. Would love to see a more visually calming atmosphere and better music. Also, it would be easier if ATG moved their smoking devices (papers, bowls, stash tins and such behind the counter. I always forget I need papers until I'm walking out and see them at the exit. An ATM inside would be helpful also. A shout out to the most knowledgeable and amazing budtenders who always make me feel welcomed and always know what I need: Kate, Jen, Mike and Derek. I don't believe I would go to ATG if not for them. They make me feel like a person and take away that intimidating feeling the minute I reach the counter!

love this place!

Amazing staff! Brittany was so helpful and helped me pick the perfect weed.

Great location, easy to get to with plenty of parking. Highest quality in the state, only negative is they can run out of your favorite strains quickly. Blissful Wizard and Skywalker are my personal favorites but everything is great!

Parking, quick service, deli style isn’t the best setup, security guards can make people feel uncomfortable too. However Everything is ok to deal w besides the prices. Quick comparison to other dispensaries will show you this place is wayyyy to pricey. I’ll be back once they fix this problem.

This continues to be my favorite dispensary for flower on the North Shore, especially their GDP! And it's the only place I know of that carries CBD capsules, which I can't live without. Thanks ATG for remaining consistent.

Every flower from here is sheer nug porn--beautiful, frosty, colorful. They don't rotate strains much but what they do have is outstanding and very high in cannabinoids. Their Serious Happiness (a 50/50 hybrid) has become one of my absolute favorite strains in existence. The Craft Reserve cartridges are also amazing, particularly the Gorilla Glue. I would echo the public's desire for more and better edibles, and in stronger doses. Facilities are a little DMV-esque, but the staff thankfully couldn't be further from that.

ATG used to have the best flower around... doesn’t seem up to par anymore.. Dry.. smells like hay.. seems to be rushed for the demand.. I would not recommend this to anyone who NEEDS quality medicine... the service and atmosphere is Ok...

Ok, ATG is great - no long trek into the city. 30 minutes or less for me, and can usually find a couple of fun things to do on the way home. The security guards are always so kind (and patient - I'm forever forgetting to have my cards out). Interior-wise it's nice. Not quite the same as the bells and whistles place in the city, but hey, I'm not there for the interior decorating skills. I've been a consistent patient here for over a year. I have no complaints. My only complaint would have been the lack of variety, too heavy on the indicas. However, there have been a few new flavors added recently. Plus, the constant stars? They are all worth it. :) consistent top shelf medical marijuana. Thank you so much for being where you are. Treating chronic Pain makes driving difficult. This dispensary is close enough to my home that getting there is relatively easy.

The guards are great guys,there is an ATM out front.When you walk in all the selections on the menu are displayed to view under magnification cases.All staff are great there.The only negative thing wich isn't really negative it's more of a helping comment the two registers furthest to the left should be for people with question,first timers, but really it's not a problem most I've waited is 5-10 min.and they have done nothing but improve.Love the new baggy system too but the big ones seem like they might be costly an unecessary.bags were fine.Love ATG MARTMAR

If you are considering visiting ATG, I highly recommend it. Service/Building Everyone I encountered was friendly and helpful. The parking is easy and the building is clean. Inside was much larger than I expected, around 5 bud tenders working. It is very organized with a similar set up to a DMV/RMV take a number and sit in the waiting area. However, the wait was very short, around 5 mins (I was there around 12:00pm on Saturday, their busiest day). Overall a very organized Dispensary. Strains/Quality The strain selection was exactly the same as their website’s menu. A decent selection with the majority being indica dominate. The buds are very high quality, trimmed correctly and cured correctly. They have a fair amount of west coast genetics and some 2familiar ones. I tried their Captains Cake, Granddaddy Purple, and The cobbler (pink cookies). The Captains Cake is a very unique strain I recommend picking some up if you ever have the chance. The Granddaddy Purple was by the far the best GDP I’ve ever had. I was blown away with this strain, it was perfect. Overall I would say their Quality is very high, strain selection needs improvement. Pros: Great service, quick, organized and the parking is free and very easy. The strains are interesting and very high quality. Prices are not excessive on the flower although they could come down quit a bit. If you are an indica lover ATG is the place to go. Cons: No edibles or extracts other than tincture and disposable vape pens. The price on the rick simpson oil is border line offensive. No one could afford to purchase the Rick Simpson oil from ATG with a chronic illness. The strain selection is very indica dominate, only one sativa with a few hybrids but even then the hybrids are all indica dominate. Overall Grade: B+ Interesting Fact: ATG was the first dispensary to open in Massachusetts.

Last week I was sold an open vape craft reserve cartridge that was missing half of its contents. Be sure to check your cartridges before leaving the store

Find a different location if you actually need medical marijuana. You may not get the medicine you need at ATG. Today, they had zero Indica strains available. Not one. They could only say "soon". How is that useful for medical users? Just not reliable enough. Go elsewhere.

This is the best dispensary in the state when it comes to flower. Their strains are consistent and slowly expanding. If you're a sativa fan then this is definitely your current best choice.

I have been coming here for a couple months. Hands down the best bud in the state. Their capsules are amazing, I slept for the first time in years. The staff is very friendly, and the managers fair when I needed to return a couple items. Kate helped me find exactly what works for me, she takes thought in what she recommends. It's a deli setup, which is ok but I wish I could pick who I'd like to go to. Overall, it's a welcoming, sort of hole in the wall place but you'll be damn sure to walk out with a smile.

Love that they actually have a parking lot. I’ve never had a problem Not finding a space to park but I can see how it can happen or has happened. My favorite about this place is the staff they’re just amazing you almost feel like you’re long lost friends picking up where you left off (literally 😂). There potency on flower is AMAZING!! I have more favorites here than non favorites

This place is pretty good. Somewhat good selection of buds and vape oil. Not much edible. As others mention the atmosphere is akin to a DMV or deli, where you take a number and sit in a moderately comfortable chair, watching a scroll of products on the tv. All of the product is locked up so you can't really look at it before you buy. Employees are nice, knowledgeable and helpful. Overall if it's convenient for you it gets the job done, but they need a serious remodeling.

This dispensary is definitely not like the others. security outside, metal detector, and guard escort inside = it very welcoming. then you sit through "orientation". the strain selection was good however I was disappointed in the quality of the prerolls and the containers used. preroll was def not a full gram and one almost broke at the filter bc there was a big gap. def not going out of my way to shop here again.

If this was my first time in a dispensary, I would've turned my card into the state. This place makes you fee like a criminal, it's uncomfortable from the moment you walk up to the front door. It's like a DMV combined with a gynecologist office. The bud is old and dry, and their tincture didn't do a thing for me. I won't be back.

one of the only dispensary that won't except mass health card for the hardship discount. need ur 1066 g
