By far my favorite dispensary! The shuttle adds a little time to the trip but it’s always quick in and out. The variety and quality of bud is always great!

I live 5 minutes away and I’d still rather drive to any other dispensary. Foolishly, I always try to give it another chance and am disappointed time and time again. First, the positive is that the employees are very friendly and they have have a nice variety of flower and product. The reasons I choose not to go here- 1. Poor communication. I tried to visit 1.5 hrs before posted closing time and was told by the guard that they stopped rec sales 2 hrs prior and that I should call ahead of time. I’ve also shown up and stood in line for a while before someone came out and told us there was “no THC” available. 2. The lines are ridiculous. I just tried to go again today 15 min before opening and the line was already insane. I’ve waited 45 min to an hour at times and that was when the line was half the size of what I saw this AM. I have been to quite a few other dispensaries and Patriot is the worst BY FAR. I could drive to the next closest dispensary, make my purchases and be home before I’d get through the line at Patriot. Sadly, when I’ve gone to Temescal in Hudson, I have met at least 4-5 people who all tried to go to Patriot, saw the lines, and decided that driving would be easier than waiting there. 3. Prices are higher than the others I’ve been to. Just for comparison’s sake, a quarter of flower is $120 at Patriot (taxes included). It is $105 at the next closest dispensary to me (again, taxes included). I know that legal dispensaries are still relatively new in MA and there’s some lessons to be learned in terms of efficiency so I hope that the experience can be improved at Patriot.
