Real Feedback, from Real People.

  • I always have a great experience when I come in here. Staff are friendly, helpful, and super knowledgeable. The inside is cozy and decorated with a lot of character, unlike most of the more clinical looking dispensaries. Very wide selection of bud, wax, edibles, etc. Their rosin vapes are the smoothest I've ever tried. Definitely stop in here for all your weed needs!

    -Marina W. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • Exceptionally nice and helpful staff, reasonable prices, and conveniently located. The shop is always clean as a whistle, and it's always obvious that the staff puts a lot of time and effort into their store. This may just be my favorite Boston area business.

    -Chris L. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • "Starbird is unlike most other dispensaries, in that you don't feel like you are in a doctors office when you walk in. It is like a friendly living room environment, and the same holds true with the people, friendly and welcoming. This is a true mom and pop weed shop!"

  • "Excellent products and prices. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I was greeted one day by Andre and another Kerri, two very cool cats. Once inside I was helped by Griff and another day by Ross. Both helpful with finding my selection. The decor at Starbird is unique and very inviting. I would highly recommend this place conveniently located on Bridge St in Salem before entering Beverly."
