NETA is an easy walk from home, but I usually take the bike(rack is right behind the entrance). Friendly/helpful staff, great selection of products(flower, pre-rolled, tinctures, lotions, cartridges, edibles, kief, shatter...some limits may apply). They could use more CBD heavy strains in flower. I still came home with 6 strains(mid Sept. '16). It's housed in a beautiful old bank...and don't sweat the cop at the door.

I've only been in twice, but each time I got a spot in the parking lot. Both times were awesome, everyone is so nice!

I've been to Brockton. I've been to Salem. I've tried multiple delivery services. And now, I've truly found the 1st great MMJ dispensary in Massachusetts. NETA is fantastic in so many areas: Product!, service, atmosphere...did I say Product? All their flower is beautiful and plentiful (they had 10! strains when I went this weekend). It's not per-packaged, they let you see it and smell it and they weigh it out in front of you. Did I mention the great service? It's clear that management has told everyone to be super-friendly, and it shows! Everyone I encountered were really helpful and cheery and nice. There are so many positives: the atmosphere is pretty amazing, their building is beautiful, with couches and a very chill vibe. Their packaging and marketing materials are professional and pretty beautiful actually. How about that there is an Express Line and a Full Service Line. You can fill out a menu of what you want, sit on the couch and they call your name when your order is ready. Did I mention that the bud is killer?!!! Go to Brookline now! This place is truly the 1st great dispensary in Massachusetts!

Great experience for my first time there. I was greeted and showed step by step on what to do. I was offered some great information by Cara on what to try for my illness that may help. Once I got to the counter the staff was helpful, so nice! They don't push product on you and for new beginners they actually teach you how to start slow for tinctures and edibles. They have an express line also for customers who know what they want so it's faster for them! I live closer to a Brockton dispensary but the reviews were so bad I traveled to Brookline. They also give first time customers a 49$ off when you spend I think at least 50$ on product(ask of course) I will definitely go there again. Parking is a little tough, I didn't mind crossing the street so I parked to the right of the building. Otherwise great place!

The place is a great dispencery, but since there aren't any others around to compete with them, they treat their business like a monopoly. The prices for everything are through the roof. It is for medical patients only, so why take advantage of us like this?
Dispensary response:
Hi Zachi, thanks for your feedback. We regularly monitor pricing at other dispensaries to ensure that we are in line with the Massachusetts market.

Love this location. I call it church love going to recieve my blessings. Best flower in Massachusetts in my opinion not the best selection though. Concentrates just dont seem right. Ally and Kara my favorite budtenders. Cool vibes ans mad knowledge. Lisa is also really chill. Most of the people here have positive vibrations. ✌

hardly find a place these days you see everyone putting effort getting along with one another and genuinely try to help each other out. Great reception staff and "Budtender" Annemarie (or Annamarie, I am terrible w/ name) is surely very tender and caring. well, not only taking care patinets' order, a couple jokes will make your waiting time absolutely a blast. And the stuff I got....they know what they are doing. the 1.2 gram cone rolled with "M" filter is a work of art. It's quite an experience gotta say...

Beautiful building - it's inside an old bank. The smells are wonderful. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Will continue to go here. The menu changes frequently, so check on their web site before you go. Selections can be limited because they run out fast, and they put a limit most times on the amount of product you can buy (ie 3 pre-rolls, 1/4 ounce of bud, etc). Get there early and they most likely will have some specials available (limited pre-rolls, shatter, and bud).

Didn't have the best experience. I wanted to try out the edibles so I bought a Hybrid 100mg Dose Bar and Sativa 100mg Dose Bar. Well I've never had edibles before so I was cautious and took 5 mgs. I felt absolutely nothing. So I slowly started increasing my dose to 10 mgs, 15,20, etc. I was all the way up to 45 mgs before I decided to stop. I literally felt absolutely nothing. I'm a new smoker, only have been smoking about 9 months. I don't have a high tolerance, actually I have a very low tolerance and it doesn't take much to get me where I need to be. I'm not sure if they made it wrong or what. I tried on empty stomach. full stomach, partially full stomach and nothing. I was really disappointed. They had a good menu though, but the only thing is its a far distance for me, so its really not worth going back, at least until prices drop. I spent $60 on 2 semi decent tasting chocolate bars.
I gotta say the staff is great though and very knowledgeable.
Dispensary response:
Hi there- we apologize that our PSAs did not inform you of finding your right dose. Our advice is to do exactly as you did: start low and go slow. You can always increase you dosage, and sometimes edibles can take up to 2 hours to fully take effect. Edibles can affect patients in different ways - and sometimes, edibles are not for everyone. Some patients have a lower tolerance with flower, but a higher tolerance for infused products. Additionally, some patients' digestive systems negatively impact bio-availability of cannabinoids for edible products. When infusing edibles, we utilize medium chain triglycerides that were developed specifically to improve the bio-availability of lipid based substances. However, for some patients, uptake still is not maximized. If you found that this product wasn't the right fit for you, you are always welcome to bring it back for an exchange or credit. We would recommend trying a tincture on a future visit, as this means of ingestion is sublingual and bypasses the GI tract. Thanks.

Amazing. Built in an old bank bldg this place is great. Much softer entrance and exit than other dispensaries, while maintaining crowd control, safety, and strict identification protocol. The staff were all super helpful and much more invested in educating consumers on what medicinal marijuana could help with, dosage, and product types. This is the bar other dispensaries should aim for. The products are high quality and the chocolate is... waaaaay too good to be medicinal haha. Reminds me of artisanal chocolate, it just may be honestly. All the staff were helpful. There was a line but I learned so much waiting in line that I wouldn't trade it for anything. There was no line for "express" service while I was there. A+++.

Amazon facility and the people are great.

Would Recommend the Moonshine Haze and Jack Frost. Their GSC is extremely weak. Also noticed that some batches of certain strains that they keep in rotation often aren't consistent in potency. Some buds aren't cured or manicured well enough. I like NETA because it's clear they keep a record of what's good and what's not. They keep changing their goods but bring back effective strains. They keep a consistent variety. So if you like saliva over I dica, there's typically at least two kinds to pick from. You can also buy grams to sample strains. I dig this place....just keep the Jack Frost and Moonshine Haze in stock and I'll keep coming.

Went to NETA for first time today. Busy place but great atmosphere and warm welcoming people all around you. They literally have just about everything so I highly recommend this place.
I dealt with Mike. Great guy -- very knowledgable, friendly and pleasant to be around.
10/10 NETA.

I drive 45 minutes both ways to go here. Their prices are reasonable comparatively.. but there's really not much competition out there yet (I was always under the impression it would be a little cheaper than buying it illegally haha oh well)
The service is great and the atmosphere is perfect.. the only negative comment I have is the lack of sativa the keep in stock.
August 21, 2016
Great selection on edibles with variances from indica, hybrid, and sativa in varying strengths ranging from 5mg to 50mg to 100mg edibles. The shatter seems to be consistent snap n pull if stored cool. The one improvement I would like to see is the shatter stored on higher quality parchment or material that will not stick to the shatter itself. I noticed on multiple occasions some of the white tissue material from the paper holding the shatter going into the shatter.

i went here for my first time when i got my card and i loved everything about it.
it seems to be very busy so just be prepared to wait a little bit in line.

I really can't say enough good things. The staff was...good, no...great...no. They were awesome. Answered all my questions and the whole vibe was happy to help you out with the right product. The place is too, an old renovated bank with a clock frozen at 420. The prices were right and everything comes in fantastic resealable bags. Lastly, the product and choices we were perfect. Enough choices but not too many to overwhelm. Every thing is fresh and the Js look like little ice cream cones.
I'll be back again with friends.
Oh yeah, don't forget the new patient deal. You spend a buck and they throw in 49.

Neta brookline is great. Parking is a nightmare and the wait can be brutal.
They need to improve wait time and small talk allowed by employees.
Dispensary response:
Hi SourSackAttack, thanks for your feedback. While it's true we are in the city and parking is not always simple, there are actually quite a few options: We have a parking lot around back that has a decent number of spots, including handicap-accessible parking, there is on-street parking in many places nearby, and there are several parking garages within a 2-3 minute walk from us. As well, we are right around the corner from the Brookline Village Green Line stop. To address your comment on wait time: have you tried our Express service? This can expedite your order if you are looking to get in and out as fast as possible. To use this, you will just fill out a quick order form, then you can relax while we prepare your order. Our staff will let you know when the order is ready, and will ring you up. This can definitely save you some time.

NETA is the gold standard for MMJ dispensaries in Massachusetts. The staff is so helpful and informative. The building is amazing. The edibles are delicious and effective. I just wish they opened one on the North Shore.

I have been to NETA a few times. It's a very professional and friendly environment, The staff is friendly and helpful. the Strains rotate through the menu, I have enjoyed all the 20% TAC and up strains they have, the quality seems to suffer on the lower TAC strains (not $350 an oz) should be on different price point I think. Also not a big fan on how they store and show the product, opening a large quantity container to show off the product, repeated light and Air exposure is not great for keeping top quality Meds fresh to the last nug. However even with a few issues, they are still the most Professional and organized dispensary in Massachusetts and with only being in business for a short time, I truly look forward to seeing NETA grow upon a great start and help lead raising the qualities and standards of medical cannabis in Mass and New England!
Dispensary response:
Thank you for your kind words about our Brookline dispensary. To address some of your concerns - Lower TAC Strains: Not all patients desire the strongest medicine, and there will always be selections at, or below, 15% TAC available. We are striving to offer reliable selections across all of our flower. Storage of our flower: We keep Boveda packs in each container to maintain appropriate moisture levels for our flower. The amount of time spent showing and wafting our flower should not significantly impact the flower's quality. We offer this experience as an extra benefit for our patients - the ability to actually see and smell the medicine, and even chose certain buds, before purchasing.

Great location, parking not so great, but when room the lot in front is convenient. Flower always nice quality, decent variety. Concentrates are decent not impressed with taste, appearance, or potency but I realize it's a new market, hopefully they will embrace the concentrate scene, and start having some budders, crumbles, different strains from different manufactures, live resin. Edibles were not impressive at all, however Belgian chocolate was tasty

This is a beautiful dispensary with helpful knowledgeable staff. Jim took his time helping me and told me not to worry about the people waiting. He walked me through every option they have an explained it in detail. I received great suggestions and will definitely be returning. They have quality product and wonderful patient etiquette.
