Salem has a small but varied product offerings of quality . It dispenses them in a two sta way. If (I guess he's the 'boss') seems to think you are talking too long with the budtender ,he comes over to check it out- bad vibes city ya bloke! But that isn't the workers fault now is it! Nick, Jr. , and a Brother and supoib Sister that work behind the counter have been 6 Star to deal with and deserve raises!!!.You dont get to see, smell or have some intimacy with what flower you are buying. Their Captain's Cake and Grandaddy Purple are Superb. The place looks like the 'boss' acts, but don't let that stop you. Some of the best product and budtenders in Mass. can be found here. Just ask the great working staff here. THANKS!!!! Shop and be happy!

I have always loved this location, strains have always been great, people super friendly etc, but today I was pretty disappointed. Picked up some of my favorites - GSC and Flo OG - and they are both lacking in taste and smell 😕 Where's the delicious earthiness I've come to expect from Flo? They both work fine, medicinally speaking, but I'm one of those people who really wants to taste the yummy flavors!
Dispensary response:
Hi raggle1 - Thank you for writing a review and for your kind words. We are sorry to hear you were disappointed with our GSC and Flo OG. We do have a 100% product guarantee - feel free to bring the remainder of the flower back to the dispensary for an exchange or credit.
With care - The Team at NETA

Location was easy to get to. Building itself was impressive. Great repurposed building! Staff was great and product got me to write a review.

NETA Brookline is hands down THE best dispensary on the East Coast. NETA also has a dispensary in Northampton, MA, which I am sure is amazing as well, but since I personally have never been there, I want to speak solely for the Brookline, MA branch. NETA has a great variety of products, from flower to infused lotions that help on many fronts. The prices are spot on and well worth the price for any product you may need. All of the staff is extremely educated about the products, and they are more than helpful in helping you to select the appropriate products for you based on your needs. There usually is a healthy wait for service, but again, it is worth the wait. There are 12 dispensaries in the state, and there are three or four locations closer to me, but the drive and the wait is certainly not stopping me from getting the best medicine I have ever encountered. Always worth the visit to NETA Brookline!

Yesterday was my second visit to NETA and this place is professional, organized, friendly and very knowledgable. My questions were answered by a girl yesterday who was courteous and provided clear answers. The product I have purchased has been platinum. For me, Flo OG, A-Train and Facewreck are awesome.

I would move to Brookline if I could find an affordable apartment this dispensary is that good. I mean I can't think of any other dispensary that has as much to offer as NETA does. I have been to every dispensary in the state. this place can get busy so if you suffer from anxiety try and find a time suitable for less of a wait or try there express checkout it's very convient ( if you know what your looking for before coming in ) once again I will be visiting soon and many more times for there TOP NOTCH concentrates.

NETA gets: 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁 5 leafs!!!!!
Been waiting a while to write this review!
NETA Brookline was the second dispensary I went to go visit. If this is your first time going to NETA I recommend asking a close friend that has a medical card or finding somebody in line that can refer you; why? Because you both save $50 bucks on your first time visit/referral. Also go early!!! This place gets so busy it can be a major unexpected time delay due to this being THE MOST POPULATED: people/city/location wise. It's in a beautiful, that once was, a bank.
The staff: super friendly; they let you see the flower being weighed out and they let you smell the herb. and didn't feel sketched out 👍👍👍😍🌹
The flowers: AWESOME SELECTION. Seriously, We are all impressed and proud of you. Jack Frost, Flo and Buddahs Sister have been discovered due to NETA knowing what's UP💯💯💯💯😍😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🍰
Edibles/concentrates: I tried their shatter (💯👍👍👍), lozenges(😉👍❤️), 50mg brownies (when they had it😍😍😍), gummies cubes (👎👎👎) and upside down capsules (👍👍👍). Also tried their ally lotion (the gf loves it 😉😝👍💯) - imo the BEST selection in the state. But I still find other things from other dispensaries that WILL make me go back to them and they.
Location: cool state reuse of an old bank. I wish they had a coffee machine in there for the waits 🤔🐸☕️😂💯😗💨💨💨🍁
The gal the helped me was named Allie. Oh and they have wicked cool hoodies they get to wear LOL wish I could get one 😉😉😂🍁👍👍👌
I ❤️ NETA. I plan to check out their Northampton location next! 😗💨💨💨🍁

absolutely beautiful architecture. tons of employees walking around eager to answer any and all questions I have ever had.
Yes, there is usually a long wait for the Full Service (meet with a "budtender", ask all your questions, sample smell the strains you want, ask more questions, and generally have a great experience with the person assisting you).
Once you are familiar with the menu, and know what you are going in for.... they offer an "express lane" where you fill out a card with what you want (there is no sampling the smell of the buds, can't really ask a lot of questions, and value is put on speed..... get in, get out, quickly).
I HIGHLY recommend the express lane for anyone that KNOWS what they want. Using express, I have never waited more than 30 minutes..... I have easily waited in Full Service line for over 90 minutes before.

While the staff is still great I feel this place is slowly going down hill. Twice now I haven't received change back after paying with cash and once the amount wasn't correct. Now I fully understand the need for limits on some things but now it's literally just about every item. Maybe I'm in the minority here but I would much rather see out of stock on the menu than having to drive, find the time to go, sit in line forever, just to have to come back in a week or less! Not to mention if your using your debit card not only do you pay a fee but they also round it up as well! In a month I've had to go here 5 different times because off limits and you know what.....Paid OVER $20 just in atm fees and their "rounding" fee! Biggest piece of advice I can give someone coming here is BRING CASH and make sure you get your change and that it's actually the correct change. I realize this review isn't going to be popular but it's the truth and my honest opinion!
Dispensary response:
Mr/Ms. Mahogdogg-
We would like to address your concerns. First: Incorrect change. Certainly, if this happened it would be attributable to simple human error on the PSA's part. In the event of a mistake like this, please feel free to inform either the PSA or a NETA manager and we will be sure to make correct change for your order. Regarding limits: Any limits on infused products are temporary and will likely be a thing of the past before too long. Source material for these products is in ample supply. Ramping up production and getting samples through testing are fairly heavy lifts and we are working to put ourselves ahead of that curve. As to the cashless ATM: The medical marijuana space is woefully undeserved by the financial services sector. The fact that NETA has a bank account and can process cashless transactions is atypical. However, these solutions are not perfect. We pay steep fees to bank and cannot access the usual merchant accounts that provide traditional credit card processing. Therefore, we must utilize the cashless ATM system. The provider of this service requires that transactions be made in $5 dollar increments. Though we do round the total up in some instances, patients receive the difference in cash from the PSA at the end of the transaction. In no instance does NETA retain those funds. The service provider does charge a fee to the customer and our PSA's are instructed to make this clear to all patients. We do recommend that patients bring cash if they would like to save those few dollars.

I love NETA Brookline. The people have always been extremely helpful and the wait times now are nothing like they were a year ago. If you suffer from arthritis or muscle tension try the Allay Lotion xtra THC. It's amazing and has changed my life. No more muscle relaxants or pain meds needed and I had nerve pain/surgery. Prices are great here too and I like that you can buy small amounts of flower.

Staff was friendly, but overly familiar. Deeply urban location, so not convenient for car travelers. Sports a boutique-like atmosphere, which I find disconcerting as a medical user. Also disconcerting is the practice of waving flower aroma in your face for each variety. The whole experience felt like it was more about promoting pot culture than serving people with medical conditions. Selection was also poor in Indica. One visit will be all for me.
Dispensary response:
Quackmeister, we are sorry to hear that your visit was a frustrating one. We train our Patient Service Associates to help create an individualized, safe, and non-judgemental environment where patients of varying needs can feel comfortable in seeking out the best therapies for their ailments. For those who prefer a quieter visit we have several solutions: (1) our Express Counter allows patients to fill out an order form, hand it to staff, then have a seat while the order is filled; (2) our "Is There a Line" widget (available online at www.netacare.org) gives current wait-times to help you plan your visit; and (3) our locations tend to be less busy between Monday and Wednesday, making for a quieter atmosphere. We understand that travel to an urban area can be difficult. It is this reason that we employ a full-time parking attendant and full-time police officer to help the flow in and out of our on-site parking lot. Off-site, there are a number of parking garages very close by, on-street parking is usually available, and we are located a short walk from the Green Line Brookline Village stop.
In regards to the way we display our flower, the scent of the flower is as important as the look of the bud and the variety of strain. Terpenes contained within the flower may smell wonderful to one patient and unpleasant to another. Scents such as piney, sweet, and citrus have different effects associated with them and we have found that allowing patients a chance to take in the scent can lead to better choices on their part as far as which strains will work best for them. Feel free to ask us about the Entourage Effect if you do decide to visit again.

Breathtakingly stunning facility. Very nice staff. Easy first time patient setup. I went around closing time and only had to wait 10 minutes to get helped out. $49 off because it was my first visit.
I use CBD rich medical marijuana products for anxiety, stomach problems, and immune system defect. I got a half ounce of shake (12% CBD, 7%THC) Sour Tsunami x Cataract Kush for only $95. The shake discount + first time patient deal REALLY helped me out. I'll be all set for at least a few weeks because of this.
I wish the REM pens didn't have PG in them, but honestly the fact that I got high quality CBD flower makes up for that 10x. Will be back once they harvest some more CBD flower. Thanks NETA!
