I like going to this location because the staff is knowledgeable and friendly and actually care about getting me the Medici that best suits my needs. The product is high quality whether you need vape cartridges, flower, or edibles. Also, there is a new patient deal I got to take advantage of. Go there and let them set you up.

I am a medical cardholder who has visited CAC almost weekly for months. I have also visited almost every dispensary within a 50 mile radius of my home including RI. By far, I get the most out of every penny in my pocket by sticking with CAC. My typical purchases include high dose edibles/tincture, vape cartridges, sugar, THC crystals and occasional flower as I prefer the other methods of consumption. For me it is a beautiful quiet country drive to CAC and parking is a breeze (even with the expansion construction). CAC is beautiful, warm and inviting from the moment you step in the door. EVERY employee says hello and I love walking in and greeting them all! There was even a note in my last bag that wished me luck with my upcoming surgery (thank you Selena)! Now for the goods…I will tell you what works best for me and the products I purchase on a regular basis. My suggestion is to try them all and decide for yourself. Every person is different, what works for me may not work for you, but still just try this stuff!! There are many other products I still need to try as well but I stand by the following as I use them regularly. Edibles: Sour Raspberry and Lemonade fruit chews, Milk Chocolate Drops, and the Blueberry Gems. They come in a variety of strengths and are so worth the money. For those who do not like the actual taste of cannabis when eating an edible boy are you in for a treat. Hats off to the Chef...Everything tastes amazing! The Slate THC Tincture is amazing, for a quicker method under the tongue. Again, worth the money. Now for the vape cartridges: I usually pickup a few of the higher priced Litt cartridges. My favorite and most effective so far (currently not on the menu) was 9lb Hammer and White Knuckles (on the menu today). Now I know not everyone can afford those expensive cartridges but again, you are in luck! CAC produces the Active8 line of vape cartridges that are specifically formulated for the effects you desire. If you are looking for pain relief or sleep induction, then the Mango Relax is for you. They are significantly discounted cartridges without discounted quality. The Passionfruit, Raspberry Lemon and Strawberry Lemon are great as well! But you have another choice! They have ONE Fills that can be added to a cartridge you already have, they can be ingested or dabbed as well. You can save about $5 when you choose a ONE Fill because you're not purchasing the cartridge. My favorite ONE Fills are Kushberry and Granddaddy Purple, Raspberry Lemon, Passionfruit and Mango. Next are the disposable vape cartridges. They look like a disposable e-cig, thin and discreet. I like these to travel with as they are so easy to use on the go (make sure to follow the laws about traveling with cannabis)! The Blueberry Pie, Passionfruit and Mango are my choices. Now when the stubborn pain returns I like to vape concentrates. I have a Storz & Bickel Plenty. With the drip pad I can use Distillate Dabs, THCA Crystals, Sugar and Wax. My favorites from their menu are White Walker Kush, White Widow and Sour Diesel. If flower is your thing, try the God Bud. Now with all that said, I have had a mishap with a disposable vape once. It just seemed to not be working properly. So I left it in my bag thinking I'll just use it anyway but pulled it out on my next visit feeling terrible doing so because they are so good to me. Without hesitation they replaced the product with zero hassle whatsoever. CAC has top notch customer service, everyone is so willing to help you out. They are knowledgeable and most importantly they are just nice, super friendly folks who genuinely care for you and your needs. As I mentioned before cannabis can be expensive however CAC has THE BEST customer loyalty program out there. I suggest a visit, try a variety of products and please, before you leave a negative review visit them again. Or speak with someone first before you rip a bad review. I suggest that of every dispensary visit. This is the reason it took me months to write the review, I had to in good faith try almost everything before I made any quick judgments. Leaving a negative review is just not fair if you visit once, tried one product and it wasn't up to your standards of satisfaction. Mix up your choices, do that trial and error thing. It took me almost 6 months to find the right mix of products to keep my pain at bay. It worked, and I would love for others to have the same result. Make cannabis your next big adventure and make sure you get it from Commonwealth Alternative Care!

Best flower I've seen in Mass yet. WELL worth the 30 minute drive. Knowledgeable budtender as well.

Very low quality cannabis.

vary clean and inviting. The staff was knowledgeable and more importantly (imo) patient. The first time buyer program is a must. So far all of the wax, distallite, and bud have been top notch. Will be my go to place....

Overall looks like every dispensary in Massachusetts. I bought an 1/8 of SDxAC, which they advertised as their OWN product. Apparently no other weed is theirs which is a little scary. I got it it felt a little light. I asked the kid at the counter if something was off on it, he said “nope. we wouldn’t accept it if it weighed less.” I asked one of the other budtenders if it was light, she says “we can’t really tell from up here.” How can you sell weed if you can’t weigh it? On top of it, when I got home it weighed 2.88 grams even.....therefore I’m missing more than half a gram. Clearly people don’t know what the hell is going on. I’ll keep going somewhere else.

Great location right off 24, good selection of products. first time patient discount is huge, also loyalty points. I cant wait for the one in Brockton to open!

GanjaPharma approved. Best flower I have purchased at a dispensary in mass. . A bit fresher... than any other... and the best quality. I did buy the platinum weed ... I don’t mind paying for better potency. I like the fact they mostly grow their own ganja. Budtenders Libby & Jayna were patient , professional & knowledgeable. I’m a Happy GanjaPharma. So far their flower is the only dispensary bud I would be a return patient for. Keep up the good work. Other dispensaries should look into being a customer. Cheers & see ya soon.

Clean aesthetic, great and knowledgeable staff, and an INCREDIBLE selection. The most I've seen from one dispensary to date.

I am asking if anyone was forced to sign a document making the patient feel criminal liabilities. If so, were you given an explanation and disclaimer before you were forced to sign this form? Chronic pain patients with medical licenses already have to abide by all federal and state laws. By signing that form and buying off them, you become eligible to take the blame criminally for a variety of situations even if you had no knowledge of them.

Weird place, mediocre quality, and SEVERELY overpriced. Shop elsewhere. Much better dispensaries with WAY better pricing. This place is the top 2 most expensive in the state.

Definitely one of the best dispensaries around!! They always have amazing deals like ounce specials from$99-$149 while they’re in stock and every time I’ve grab and ounce from there it’s always been a .5 over!! They also have great deals on concentrates 20%-50% off once in a while. Overall I will continue coming to this dispensary they have amazing products and great customer service and most importantly great deals

The shop deleted my review so I’m leaving it again . Horrible service.

Unless they can make up for the fact that they lied to me and wasted my time driving there for a $99 ounce sale, when I specifically called to make sure they'd have enough until I got there, I definitely wont be going back there ever again!!! If you dont put a limit on the amount patients can buy, and dont have enough product to even last a whole day of the sale, then at least be honest with me when I call to ask!!! The quality of products has also gone down since the last time I visited, so I definitely wont be wasting anymore money or time on this dispensary!!!!!

Very odd uninviting dispensary. Been 3 times and have been the only customer in there each time. 2 of the times they didn't have the strain I drove there for and that was on there un-updated online menu. The flower itself was average at best. Also always a problem checking in - have been told all 3 times that computer is running slow. Just always a weird experience and wont be returning.

Eh pre packaged bud isn’t my thing. Small selection compared to other dispensary’s. It doesn’t really WOW you when you walk inside either. Average.

Hands down the best source for quality medicine in this area. I come here frequently and have only had one terrible experience. Their payment system is cumbersome and far from streamlined. It’s not easy to adjust your order or change things on the fly. You can’t really engage in conversation or ask questions about things you perhaps want to try or ask for recommendations. Buzz in Buzz in again after 1 step. Pay for your pre order Buzz in again Get your medicine Walk out. The whole experience is too rigid and feels weird. Great meds though. COVID really pooched the vibe at dispensaries.

Over all a great experience. Staff was friendly, great location and atmosphere. Great selection. Unbelievable new patient discount. The flower looked top notch in store but when I opened it at home was a bit too dry for my tastes "stale" is how I would describe it but it was effective. Certainly not bunk but room for improvement. The wax I got was top notch. Vape cartridge was ok, didn't taste right to me, better ones at other locations. Room for improvement. I think this will be a great spot in time, will be back.

I have recently been frequenting this store. In my opinion, it has been my favorite so far. The location is great, directly off the highway, and also the facility is massive and still expanding, quite impressive (I would pay to take a tour if it were an option). Security has been very friendly, and then you are guided into the store where every single person inside greats you and says hi. Like your a celebrity. The menu... is expansive and seems to change and not stay stagnant. I primarily use flower or cartridges. The cartridge selection is vast in variety and price (best of anywhere I’ve been) and they also offer refills which is a plus. The flower menu is the same, and they use a Tier system. This doesn’t have anything with potency, I believe is more of a freshness/bud selection. I’ve purchased all three tiers. The platinum comes in a nice jar, extremely fresh and larger size buds. The other two are great but seem a bit more dry and smaller buds (no issue with quality all are very nice). This is very nice and gives options on price as the silver tier is very affordable. Overall I like everything about CAC and it is definitely my go to.

I just visited CAC as a first time patient over the weekend. I've tried their concentrates from other dispensaries and loved them, and wanted to take advantage of their $100 off of $200 first visit deal. The quality and effects of the live crystals and wax I bought were amazing, keep up the great work with the products! Unfortunately the customer service I experienced while purchasing was disappointing at best. I'll start by saying if you can do curbside pickup, you'll skip a lot of time/hassle over picking up inside, but it is debit only. The best part of the experience was one of the security guards outside, when I told him it was my first visit he was pleasant and informative on what to do. The wait time was around 20 minutes, which during a weekend is understandable. But after I was allowed inside an agitated patient, apparently tired of waiting, was allowed in behind me. As I was making my purchase and signing a form, he was about 5 inches behind me, swearing and muttering and clearly hoping the staff would notice. Although the woman I was working with was generally nice, instead of telling him to back off and/or respect the social distancing markers they have on the floor the staff behind the window ignored the situation entirely. I'm a medical patient for severe anxiety and panic attacks, so that made me really uncomfortable and left a bad taste in my mouth. My other complaint is about how much I was charged. My order total before discounts came to exactly $200. I was using the $100 off of $200 deal, so I was planning on paying $100. However, I was told that they were combining that discount with another one I had available. I know usually discounts can't combine, so I was thrilled. What was my total after "multiple discounts"?...$106. What? As I was so uncomfortable with the angry patient behind me and it was only $6 more than I was planning I just accepted it, but after looking over my receipt and order total many times I still have no idea why I was charged extra when they made it a point to tell me it would be less. If I go back I'll definitely be doing curbside pickup from now on, but honestly after this experience I would much rather just buy your products from a different dispensary.

👊Sirs I feel as though I should drop this opinion of how the folks at CAC have been doing. I've read some negative reviews and completely overstand u can't please everyone. Some of these issues or complaints seem to me could have been corrected or redirected if instead of it letting it go or thinking staff is aware of a situation or ignoring it let ur budtender/cashier or receptionist know once there done either completing a task, thought, order, etc. that in fact in a CALM, RESPECTFUL, manner u are in fact unhappy with whichever scenarios above u found urself in or a different one that existed. I have been a customer for a little short of 2 yrs. and have found that the less I ask and the less I speak the worse the vibe . So I suffer from anxiety deep depression etc.fear in public can't talk think people looking talking bout me sometimes they r sometimes their not. My point is I tried to approach the whole place differently bc I was sick of buying there products elsewhere. NOT the FIRST but starting at receptionist I tried to appear more alive if u will and now I feel my experience everytime is as GREAT as there concentrates cartridges and fills not included on said rating. We can only change are prospective and attitude,and with that may or may not change others but no doubt it will make u feel 💯 and that's all that matters. Il tell u I know more than a few people there FACTS . I still open the door for the employee to be a little idk Human 😐. Just saying CAC go to cannabis school and maybe how to have a sense of humor and be a little out going and Human . Shout out CaC nothing but Love . I'm on the CHECK-IN, also can't give the 5 stars bc though all concentrates are shelf stable and believe me there are some flagship companies in the cannabis biz almost commercialized CAC is NOT that CAC is def for the customer not sure if any1 noticed the 70/grm to 60/grm on different consistency not just wax . NOT 5 STARS bc some concentrates not even crossed with the same as other concentrates of same consistency have same tastes ,notes yet they are not strong and sometimes not even present terpenes. ,and that I buy badder and it's like sugars but dry. or buy wax and it's more like sugars but dry .Idk maybe no matter how it comes out the consistency of the concentrates how the bud is made to concentrate. I do know cold press and the whole live resin ,sugar deal .Where premium nugs are selected removed from plant (usually look for multiple trichome nugs) and immediately placed in certain COLD temp . COLD PRESS is those said budz or processed in2 the concentrate naturally without chemicals just buds are squeezed to produce resin little more than that . but thats the jist of it. I hope someone got something out of this book LoL We all people WE ARE ALL 1 . "we ALL need to find the common ground each other stands on and build from all the POSITIVES that ly there. IF EVERYONE WORKS 2GETHER WE BECOME 1 AND THERE IS ONLY POSITIVE WE WONT HAVE TO WORRY BOUT NEGATIVETY AND WHEN IT TRIEZ TO BIRTH ITSELF WE MUST STAY 2GETHER AS 1 TO STAY VICTORIOUS " QUOTED FROM SIR Craig T.

I'm a regular patient at this dispensary and the people are incredibly friendly! Not only the people who work for the establishment but the people who are waiting in line with you even though there's barely any way. Usually you can strike up a good conversation while you're waiting. The bud tenders are incredibly knowledgeable and loved to ask for feedback from their customers so they can improve the quality of their products. This place receives an absolute A Plus in my book! In fact, it's really the only dispensary that I've been sticking with because it only deals with medical patients. I do not want to go to an establishment where there is recreational and medical. I believe there should be a place strictly for medical patients, dealing with the medical issues that plague people who use cannabis. It's important for the bud tenders to be knowledgeable and how these substances can affect the human body and treat it more like an apothecary than a recreational weed joint. This will be the only dispensary that I will go to simply because they treat cannabis with much more respect than a recreational use facility.

First time visit. Ninth dispensary I have been to in MA. Great first time patient discount. Smooth entry and parking. Gelato and wedding cake were actually platinum quality flower. Spot on. I’m a seasoned consumer and an amateur grower. It was a great atmosphere with knowledgeable friendly people all around. Place was tight what can I say. Hidden gem?
