After visiting several dispensaries throughout the Massachusetts area as a recreational customer I can confidently say that most offered strains are pure garbage. Sure, the buds always look beautiful. They come with ornate, long winded descriptions to gullible customers. They usually smell very pleasant as well. But if you’re looking for a good old fashion euphoric head/body high you most likely won’t find it at any dispensary in Massachusetts. Most of the time there is no high at all with any of these strains. West coast dispensaries know how to grow real weed. Don’t fall for the hype here in the East. It’s all snake oil.

Arrived 9:30am on a Tuesday. 20 people on line. Store provided heaters to keep us toasty on a chilly morning. Nice touch! Doors opened at 10 and the line moved inside. Compared to some of the Colorado dispensaries I've visited, Theory was neat, bright, clean and well-lit. Budtenders all seemed engaged and enthusiastic. The line moved quickly, thanks to 8-10 registers open for service.
Bought 7g of XJ-13 and 7g of Citrus Sap. Both were excellent, exceeding my expectations.
Now the negatives: I can purchase the same quantity (not necessarily the same quality) on the black market for about half what I paid at Theory. That's a big deal when you're on a fixed budget. I'm hoping that as more dispensaries open and cultivators reach mass production, prices will come down a bit. Likewise, I'm hoping flower and edible selections increase as the market matures.
I'll definitely come back if there is something tasty on the menu and if there is a larger variety of edibles.
Kudos to Theory for doing it right after just a few months in business. They are a good model for future rec dispensaries in Mass.

After visiting another store previously, i found this store exactly what i was looking for. Wait was maybe 15 minutes at 5pm. I spent more time at the counter. I was not rushed in anyway and the product was spot on. I deffinitly reccomend any of the concentrates but their tree is amazing aswell. The 2 ladys 1being an older asain female were very personable and helpful. I caint wait to be back next week. -Gregory Nichols

About a month ago I wrote a review about a disappointing preorder experience. I’m happy to say that I’ve had several great preorder experiences since. Orders were promptly confirmed and ready in 20 minutes or less. I understand that the preorder supply can be a challenging moving target and it seems things are improving fairly quickly. Just think how far we’ve come in a short time! A few years ago sales were just a pipe dream and now we can preorder for same day pick up. Pretty crazy.
The staff are terrific and friendly. Everyone was helpful and very nice. I’ve been to other dispensaries where the security was more on the power trip side of the spectrum. Not here. The people at the door are very nice and very respectful. The whole experience was terrific.
As far as the quality is concerned, it is very good. They offer a nice variety of strains that cover the spectrum very well. The buds look and smell great. They are also thoughtful enough to place your order in a black plastic zip lock bag for easy transport. I like how the menu changes daily. It’s kind of like shopping at your local farmers market in that you get to see new fresh items almost every day. They have a few strains that are staples and are usually always available. The rest of the menu is filled with little surprises such as unique or limited varieties. I always come home with something interesting and unexpected.
Their vape products are also pretty decent. I know people always compare dosage and quantity of other dispensaries and try to max out their value, but you do get what you pay for. So far I’ve found their oils offer a better experience in taste and aroma than their competitors.
All and all, a great dispensary in a beautiful location. I’m looking forward to my next visit!

Arrived Saturday, 2/9/19 at 12pm. Long line. Took two hours to get in to the door. Parking was very close to the store. Very simple logistics once you’ve arrived. Pre-order was very limited. I thought the pre order option wasn’t available. I found out at the store that they accept 15 pre orders and shut the system until those orders are filled. If you luck out and can pre order, do it! Decent menu options for Mass store. I went for buds. I thought it was an ounce limit - it was, however, you’re limited to specific amounts per strain. You could only buy one of the largest amount priced per strain on the menu. Some strains had prices listed up to quarters, some strains up to eighths, and some strains you could only purchase a gram. For each strain, the largest amount listed was the strain limit and you could not exceed it. So, it might be possible to buy an ounce in a single visit, but you’d most likely have to purchase each flower on the menu to piece together an ounce. All buds I bought, five different strains, all seem to be fantastic. There were zero THC gummy options. Pricy 1/2 gram cartridges. On a side note, I tell ya, this Mass weed scene is strange. I feel most folks I’ve waited in lines with are nothing more than occasional tokers. Guy behind me in line was telling me how nobody smokes weed everyday. HaHa.

00I bought a 500 mg vape cartridge of Blue Dream, unlike some of the other dispensaries in the state they do not sell 1 g cartridges.
You actually end up getting more product for less money at NETA. See below for a comparison of the Blue Cheese vape cartridge from NETA vs. the Blue Dream cartridge from Theory.
NETA: Blue Cheese - $100 for a one 1g cartridge (98% 9-THC)
250 5 sec inhalations
Theory: Blue Dream - $108 for two 500mg cartridges (69% TAC)
100 5 sec inhalations per cartridge giving a total of 200 inhalations
So at NETA you get 50 additional inhalations for $8 less, plus a stronger product.
Theory's cartridge costs more, you get less product and it has 29% less THC.
If you're purchasing cartridges and want more bang for your buck, then NETA is a much better choice.

Staff has been excellent every time I visit. Quality of product is above average. My wait was over an hour but I think pre-ordering will help with that.
