SALEM — The first medical marijuana dispensary in Massachusetts opened Wednesday — by appointment only — nearly three years after voters overwhelmingly approved the drug's therapeutic use.

Patients lined up outside the Alternative Therapies Group's dispensary in Salem a day after state regulators signed off on its final paperwork.

Access to the dispensary in a converted factory building that houses other businesses will be restricted to patients with a state-issued marijuana registration card.

On its website, Alternative Therapies Group said Department of Public Health regulations prevent dispensaries from advertising the price of marijuana. Pricing is available only to qualifying patients and personal caregivers at the dispensary facility.

I received my MA MM card last November.

After a hiccup, I finally got an appointment @ 1030a Tuesday morning. Me and 30 of my closest buds.

Twas an interesting experience. Individuals were allowed in one at a time. Bottom line - it took two and a half hours before you were standing in line to pick up your pot.

The price for the two available flavors was $376 an ounce. (I had a caregiver last year who's donation was $325 an ounce WITH an excellent menu.)

I can attest that the medical marijuana pot they're selling is REALLY good for pain. Unfortunately it has a ZERO THC content.
