Reviews
Other recreational dispensaries made sure customers had umbrellas on opening day and the days after. They opened on Saturday and I went on Sunday, see receipt. Verilife in Wareham even had coffee and pizza, and when it rained they gave us umbrellas for the hour wait next to the dispensary.
This Salem dispensary let people smoke cigarettes in line and in front of the door. I did really like the woman working outside and she provided menus to the line. She was answering lots of questions, was so nice and kept the line happy with her enthusiasm even though it was bitter cold.
It was pouring and freezing on the 16th, and they had no warming tent. Their tent was small with open sides, not enclosed and everyone was crowding underneath this tiny covering that could only fit the start of the line. A lot of people are scheduled for one appointment, making the line go only 8 at time and a total wait over 3 hours. I arrived at 4 pm because I was warned about the line being long and I had a 5:00 p.m. appointment and did not get out until 7 p.m. after the dispensary was supposed to close. They only had four budtenders total for recreational. But, Verilife only had two and the line moved so quickly with the staff constantly asking if we had questions in line and they did a Pax Era promo that gave you a $1 smartphone enabled vape if you bought one cartridge.
The product at ATG was okay, nothing special to pay 21% tax and the budtenders could have been working at Walmart from their demeanor and unhappy attitudes. The adult menu was never released on the WEBSITE or Leafly, selections were super limited, not enough product for the wait and I was looking to buy the Bakked brand for concentrates, but it was only for medical patients.
If this is your first dispensary experience avoid this place, it feels like a prison and choose any of the others. There is a condemned building right next to the dispensary overlooking the parking lot. I don't like their plastic packaging or the atmosphere inside. The sketchy parking along a dark street was daunting if you're a female, and unfriendly police. Salem has enough tourists already. Go to Verilife or NETA, or research better places.
ATG accused me of writing a false review, so I updated my review with several photos, my receipt and more details. Obviously, they need to address their problems and not deny them.

DISSAPOINTED IN HOW THEY TREAT PATIENTS. I’m a medical patient with a valid form of ID - I just moved out of state about a month ago, but came back to MA to visit family. My medical card for MA is valid through OCT 2024, because I have an interim ID from out of state, they declined my entrance. Although I have a valid form of ID which they stated I needed to enter, they still declined me. makes no sense. Do not give this place any business, patient or not as they turn down active patients.

I visited for the first time while I happened to be in the area. Prices were decent, selection was pretty good. I'm picky about my products because too much THC in my system makes me anxious, but sometimes I'm not sure how smokeable products compares to edible products in that regard There was an employee named Alex who was super friendly and helpful with helping me find products that would suit me best based on their THC level, strain type, and desired effects. When I got home and tried the products, I was pleased to find that they were exactly what I was looking for! No anxiety, no unpleasant side effects, just a really calming and delightful experience. Next time I'm on the area I'll definitely come back. Thank you Alex!

First time in and really loved the calm mood and professionalism.
No jarring lighting which we were grateful for.
I actually found the prices better than the other local dispensaries I perused online.
Plenty of handicap parking spots out front as well as for Veterans.

Wouldn't take literally any form of ID at all possible and also has a sign with 23 rules you have to follow.
Just drive down the street to Seacoast you'll have a much better experience.
