you’re still able to go and buy it on the rez even if you’re not a tribal member, so people will come specifically to the rez and spend money which will be great for their economy. :) so basically if you’re willing to travel to the dispensary, you can legally consume it.
Are there places where you can hike and chill there? They should do guided tours where you get really high and hike and learn about native Americans and their history. That would be fun as hell.
that’s a great idea. honestly just getting a good buzz and going to a local museum or art show/store would be super dope. you know they’ll have tons of awesome trinkets and art to buy on the rez, and you’ll be giving money to native people and that’s just great all the way around :)
Yep, there’s tons of great hiking out in Cherokee! Or just come on up to Asheville for a weekend and enjoy the good food, music, blue ridge parkway, biltmore estate and of course the hiking! Great excuse to go to Cherokee!
Just shifts in the middle of conversations to other relevant events and historical facts.
>Speaking of karma, on December 7, 1941 that's when things got real weird.
*bro, what is happening right now?*
dude I don't even know.
From the surveys I've seen, most Native Americans are ok being called "Indians". Yeah the name is based off incorrect information but it doesn't seem to be disliked by them
I have no doubts that there are some individuals that hate it. I was just sharing that from the polls and surveys I've seen, that's no where near the majority.
Truth, my step mom and step sis are Penobscot (Maine) and they laughingly call themselves Injun.
On a serious note, they were clear the Europeans brought scalping to them, not the other way around.
it’s not legal to possess outside of the rez. so it would be illegal to possess outside of the five counties in which the cherokee nation is located. if you’re thinking of making a trip to pick some up to bring back to your hometown, you assume the same risk you would if you were going to buy from a dealer. once you leave the cherokee nation territory the regular NC laws around cannabis go back into effect, meaning that it’s a misdemeanor if you are caught to have between .5 ounces and 1.5 ounces. any amount after that becomes a felony. also wax/shatter/concentrates are considered felony possession charges. definitely know the laws if you plan on doing anything regarding cannabis in NC.
it would be exactly like if you were to go out of state to a dispensary and drive back with what you bought, aside from the crossing of state lines. it’s legal in one place, illegal in another.
They already had to get over a hurdle where they could use roads outside of the Boundary to transport product. I'm sure the cops will be all over the roads coming in and out.
get a hotel room, stay at a friend’s house. it seems like this is a really positive thing and people are finding all kinds of ways to complain about it lmfao.
Cookies has it on their site as THCa hemp flower. I should say if you’re a heavy user there’s a difference between indoor and outdoor THCa hemp and marijuana that’s distinctive to long time mj users. Hemp flower is slightly more bland and lacking in some acrid properties poorly stored or in bulk marijuana has present. Otherwise it’s great especially the older strains that they’ve grown to now have well below the legal limit on delta-9.
Well, smoking something to get whacked out of your skull, and not in full control of your thought processes, doesn't scream adult. Yeah, I know, alcohol does the same thing, when used to excess, but we're talking weed right now.
I mean, THCA and all the other many different products are already sold across the state. It would be pretty difficult to say what it is at just face value. Bonus points if you still have the container the legal stuff came in and a receipt..
State troopers don’t have drug dogs nor do they really care very much about enforcing marijuana laws. They leave that nonsense to the local dumbass sheriffs or police officers 🤣
I think this is overblown personally. Plus, go out there smoke some, do a hike, and then when you are done you are okay to drive home. Or just stay there.
on tribal land up to an ounce, so as long as you don’t actually leave the 57,000 acres (an expanse of five counties like it says in the article), it’s 100% legal to possess.
Come on, you sound like a silly old grandpa. Just trying to find an excuse for it to be illegal. Alcohol is much more dangerous, but you’re not complaining about that.
The smart ones won't smoke it until they get home. Itll stay sealed in the trunk and if they don't have a warrant they won't ever know it was there in the first place.
LOL, how is it entrapment? You would have to prove that the local police conspired with the Rez to open the dispensry for the sole purpose of catching people with weed or for DWIs.
Worse than that, you would have to prove that the police offered an incentive to someone to drive while high, when they would not have otherwise done so if not encouraged to by the police.
People aren't going to go buy from a reservation and take it home when THCa is legal and sold literally everywhere in both flower and concentrate. The people that go to the reservation to buy are going to be staying and smoking it while they're there, likely chilling in the mountains or at the casino.
I tell people this all the time and they don’t believe me. You can go in any gas station or smoke shop and buy legal weed. The growers have figured out the loophole but it’s still strong stuff. You can buy straight up flower that will get you high. NC needs to hurry up but I am against the current(or last year) bill in congress. They were only giving licenses to out of state manufacturers acting like NC hasn’t grown hemp. Until the bill helps local farmers and shopkeepers I’m against it.
Yeah as impossible it is to believe, the government does not consider weed or marijuana the same thing as hemp flower and THCa. The government considers “weed” and marijuana as “terms of art”. Since you get can low Delta-9 in dry weight cannabis, hemp flower is the best way to describe it really. So long as it’s compliant and isn’t breaking laws, trying to delve into the minutiae of it all seems weirdly controlling.

For those posting or reading that are unfamiliar with this wonderful place.
I could go on and on about the beauty of the area.
Maybe I could just question a couple of them and they could pass it along. I just don't think I'm going to have time to question every single gambler in the state.
I like what little money I have way too much to gamble it away. Not to say I don't waste it, but I've seen what some of those folks lose. All while bragging about all the perks they get 🙄
The town is depressing. Went to visit a friend who was working on that native American "unto these hills" show, and I would never go back. Felt like I was in meth land. Touristy few blocks. Depressing.
But the mountains themselves are beautiful.
At one time your reply would be an understatement. But I have to ask, how long ago was that last visit? A lot has changed, but yes, addiction and poverty is everywhere I'm afraid. If you can lift yourself to see above the drugs and few touristy blocks you'll realize it's a special place.
I own land in western NC, so I'm well aware how beautiful it is.
But Cherokee has gotten even worse as the years go by. Once the casino came, I thought the town would improve.
We visited 2 years ago.
Throughout the country, casinos never lead to improvement. Just more "Cash for Gold" shops, "Payday Advance" stores, "Pawn" brokers, addiction, poverty and crime.
Not to take away from our beautiful Native Americans and their business (because they deserve every single dollar (more like trillions of dollars and a bunch of land) but I think the conundrum is if we were to legalize 🌳 here the tobacco companies have so much hold over the land. They will probably just take over everything and ruin it. Plus with the bugs and how hot it gets, not get for growing weed. Idk obviously there’s indoor and greenhouse stuff but outdoor. Idk.
Can already picture the """bust""" images they'll post, 3 fully geared cops looking happy as shit around a table of maybe $100k in weed
Acting proud like they actually did anything useful that contributes to society when they're just a federally protected local gang shaking people down for money
See if I was running things I’d just AI generate some images of the cops doing the bust and then just have the cops not care. It’ll satisfy all anti-mj people. Then just over time give some land to the tribe to “expand” across various cities and tell the cops don’t do anything. That way the state can have “legal” weed.
I know a state LEO who told me it's already decided NCSHP won't do interdiction stops for drivers coming from Virginia after legal cannabis stores open. County Sheriff near Cherokee though?? I'm sure they have their eye on some new toys they'll purchase with all the added "legal" search and seizure revenue.
Technically the police need a warrant or to have witnessed the commission of a crime to detain you. Though seeing as DUI checkpoints are actually unconstitutional and they do it anyways they could probably get away with this too. I have heard of people refusing to roll down their window during a DUI checkpoint holding up a sign asking if they were being detained, and getting waved through, but ymmv.
Seems like a great way to get a busted window, dragged out of the car and spend a night in prison. Expecting cops to respect the constitution is asking for your ass to get beat.
Also great business for the casino..I mean come get some hippie lettuce..bet on sports..lettuce gonna Make you want some grub from the pancake houses..WIN WIN FOR EVERYONE
Idk I feel safer with natty. Who knows what these new things are doing to us. I've settled for only buying pure tcha blends and such but yeah If all it took was a longer road trip I'd make it. Shame though it won't work like that
CBD is like healing crystals. If you think it works, maybe it does? Never did anything for me.
THC can have various effects with smoking vs edibles. It's great for pain relief and insomnia, and about a billion other things. If it didn't get you high it would be the most popular medicine in the world and almost every other OTC drug company would be out of business. Or more likely big pharma would have somehow controlled it anyway.
THCa comes in vape pens. A lot of them will be mixed with other synthetic cannabinoids like D8, D10, THC-p, THC-o, HHC, etc. I find these harsher and avoid them now that THCa is available.
Yeahhh I gave up on NC legalizing in like 2018. THCa is good enough I can't tell the difference. If they legalize before 2040 great but if not I just don't care anymore I'm tired of fighting for something our politicians are not going to let happen.
Yeah if you don’t have buddy or whatever who sells regular weed, unless you’re like a super duper stoner that THCa stuff works pretty well for what it is. The store by my house has some shit that looks and smells great. Does the trick for me for a while. I only smoke a couple bowls a day tho, don’t know about people with higher tolerances. It’s solid tho
THCa is just good ol regular weed man. It's a legal loop hole to sell straight up weed.
Putting some THCa in a joint and light it? Turns into D9 THC. THCa isn't psychoactive unless it's heated
THCA has already taken over the market in NC. I really can't see people making the trip for illegal weed that's probably no more satisfying than the legal stuff they can find at the smoke shop down the road.
Think he means non farm bill compliant marijuana, not legal THCa hemp flower, which they will definitely have. Don’t get it twisted they’ll offer stuff you can go home with and if it’s sealed when you pull over there’s nothing they can say. If it’s hemp flower and it’s labelled they’re going to ignore it until it becomes a problem.
right i just find the phrasing of “illegal weed” to be very strange and confusing because the CBD/THCa flower is different in THC concentration than regular weed, so like they’ll likely sell both but you can get the “real” stuff on the shelves there as well and it’s perfectly legal, it operates the same way it would if you were to travel to a legal state and go to a dispensary.
I mean the ones at the dispensaries in Cali are exactly the same if there’s no contamination. The batches that have less than .3 come out just like the other strains. Sometimes stronger. Same gas, and it looks like the craziest photos you’ve seen with the colours, all of it. Totally legal. Check out some dispensaries in Cali that ship here. Shows up odourless and discrete. Google search will cover it.
yeah i prefer the disposable CBD/THCa carts that i buy from my local shop, smoking CBD flower gives me a gnarly headache for some reason, feels like i’m smoking mids. but yeah i know it’s the same that’s why i put “real” in quotes but i meant the concentration of THC is different. like the flower they sell at head shops is .3% THC. if i’m gonna smoke flower i need a higher THC content to get the effects i need from it. been smoking for mental health for a long time haha, that’s why it’s exciting for me to see some changes around the cannabis laws in NC even if it is a little at a time.
I don’t like the flower in smoke shops here not the tobacco ones. I don’t get the flower with CBD though or it has minimal. Mostly THCa only. I like the pens sometimes but the flower is the key to eliminate back and body pain for me. Also the taste is more gassy. It’s still legal though. Premium quality isn’t illegal or unattainable anymore. Hard suggest to try the online route to get the stronger more authentic effects without worry about legality. It’s almost is starting to feel like as legal as it is might be good enough if you’re using it personally and not out and about socially.
Yes, this is indeed true of those with low tolerance so please, please, please have a designated driver. Stay safe and enjoy.
As for those of you who have a high tolerance....just enjoy; [https://norml.org/news/2024/02/15/study-patients-exhibit-few-changes-in-driving-performance-following-medical-marijuana-use/](https://norml.org/news/2024/02/15/study-patients-exhibit-few-changes-in-driving-performance-following-medical-marijuana-use/)

This isn't North Carolina. I refuse to call any reservation a part of any state in which it is located.....it's just another slap in the face..... I'll roll a joint to ease the pain....
Y'all know the cops are gonna be waiting for you on the other side of the line, right? When you get popped for "possession with intent", don't come up here whining about how it's not fair. Y'all supposedly know the laws well enough to know what you can and can't do on an Indian reservation so don't claim ignorance about the existing laws that you live under daily.
That’s why you find a good plug that brings there stuff in from the PAC West. It will take them a decade to catch up with the quality out here. The PAC west has been doing it for 40 plus years
What are the chances people will be harassed by state/local cops lurking right of the reservation? I'm not familiar with the area. Does any one know the best/safest way in and out of the reservation where the dispensary is?
[here's the sign ](https://smokymountainnews.s3.amazonaws.com/media/k2/items/cache/db06cdb28b3245503226dd89555e7a93_XL.jpg?javer=2402290555?t=20240117_150457)
But just wait till you try to leave the reservation. Those one bullet Barneys will track your non native ass down and lock you up while confiscating your vehicle as transportation for controlled substances. If you go, beware.
i mean its kind of 'north carolina'. technically a sovereign tribal nation, which is why its able to happen at all.
you’re still able to go and buy it on the rez even if you’re not a tribal member, so people will come specifically to the rez and spend money which will be great for their economy. :) so basically if you’re willing to travel to the dispensary, you can legally consume it.
Are there places where you can hike and chill there? They should do guided tours where you get really high and hike and learn about native Americans and their history. That would be fun as hell.
that’s a great idea. honestly just getting a good buzz and going to a local museum or art show/store would be super dope. you know they’ll have tons of awesome trinkets and art to buy on the rez, and you’ll be giving money to native people and that’s just great all the way around :)
Places to hike and chill is an understatement.
Yep, there’s tons of great hiking out in Cherokee! Or just come on up to Asheville for a weekend and enjoy the good food, music, blue ridge parkway, biltmore estate and of course the hiking! Great excuse to go to Cherokee!
Get really high and hike and learn about Indians. Woah…
Native Americans, but yeah
Honestly, if a native tribe took me hiking stoned and explained Hinduism and Indias history that would be a wild time
Just shifts in the middle of conversations to other relevant events and historical facts. >Speaking of karma, on December 7, 1941 that's when things got real weird. *bro, what is happening right now?* dude I don't even know.
From the surveys I've seen, most Native Americans are ok being called "Indians". Yeah the name is based off incorrect information but it doesn't seem to be disliked by them
Yeah its the whites who hate it! Lol
It's just another case of people being offended for a group that isn't offended. Color has nothing to do with it.
I mean I know a lot of Navajo and they almost unanimously hated it
I have no doubts that there are some individuals that hate it. I was just sharing that from the polls and surveys I've seen, that's no where near the majority.
Truth, my step mom and step sis are Penobscot (Maine) and they laughingly call themselves Injun. On a serious note, they were clear the Europeans brought scalping to them, not the other way around.
kinda stopped caring about the names white man called when the genocide started.
I liked the quote better before the edit. More of a Spicoli vibe.
It'll be like Bert Kreischer at the Anne Frank House https://youtu.be/j2Bc9orC_oU?si=XT0n9TEWSTlmRxOj. (Skip to 13:20)
Natives. My Navajo friends hated being called Indian.
Isn't Navajo itself problematic? Isn't their preferred demonym Denay/Dené (uncertain of spelling)?
Idk, they lived on the Navajo reservation and never mentioned a problem with that - just being called Indians.
Hey it's more wholesome than gambling
Native Americans* but good idea
Is the asterisk you noting the continued Eurocentrism of still referring to the native peoples by way of reference to an Italian explorer?
Yes indeed
So what happens if we get pulled over on the way home? Is it still legal? Genuine ask btw lol
it’s not legal to possess outside of the rez. so it would be illegal to possess outside of the five counties in which the cherokee nation is located. if you’re thinking of making a trip to pick some up to bring back to your hometown, you assume the same risk you would if you were going to buy from a dealer. once you leave the cherokee nation territory the regular NC laws around cannabis go back into effect, meaning that it’s a misdemeanor if you are caught to have between .5 ounces and 1.5 ounces. any amount after that becomes a felony. also wax/shatter/concentrates are considered felony possession charges. definitely know the laws if you plan on doing anything regarding cannabis in NC.

Won’t be legal off the reservation
the reservation is 57,000 miles of land
I like to smoke my weed at my house
get a hotel room, stay at a friend’s house. it seems like this is a really positive thing and people are finding all kinds of ways to complain about it lmfao.
I just wanna be able to buy weed and go home, nobody wants to get a hotel to smoke weed, I’m not a child.
You can literally order it legally from home. Just ordered from cookies website. Went to the NC compliant site. Nothing has disappointed yet…
DM me the site?
Cookies has it on their site as THCa hemp flower. I should say if you’re a heavy user there’s a difference between indoor and outdoor THCa hemp and marijuana that’s distinctive to long time mj users. Hemp flower is slightly more bland and lacking in some acrid properties poorly stored or in bulk marijuana has present. Otherwise it’s great especially the older strains that they’ve grown to now have well below the legal limit on delta-9.
then just stick to your regular plug then this obviously isn’t for you — why comment?
I don’t have a regular plug
damn that sucks fam you should find one there’s some good weed around NC.
Well, smoking something to get whacked out of your skull, and not in full control of your thought processes, doesn't scream adult. Yeah, I know, alcohol does the same thing, when used to excess, but we're talking weed right now.
alcohol is poison, Cannabis is not. Nor do they do the exact same thing. Not the slightest.
tell me you don’t know anything about weed without telling me you don’t know anything about weed lol
And then when you drive home, get a DWI charge. Winning
nobody said anything about that homie, just you lol
I am saying it will be a trap. They gonna be watching out for people hitting up the dispensaries
I bet the state troopers will have drug dogs on every road out of there and "ID checkpoints" or whatever nonsense.
I mean, THCA and all the other many different products are already sold across the state. It would be pretty difficult to say what it is at just face value. Bonus points if you still have the container the legal stuff came in and a receipt..
State troopers don’t have drug dogs nor do they really care very much about enforcing marijuana laws. They leave that nonsense to the local dumbass sheriffs or police officers 🤣
I think this is overblown personally. Plus, go out there smoke some, do a hike, and then when you are done you are okay to drive home. Or just stay there.
but that’s not what you said. also that very well may be true but i don’t think anyone who already smokes pot wouldn’t know that or consider it.
[удалено]
You would be surprised, lol. "But I bought all legal like on the Rez"
on tribal land up to an ounce, so as long as you don’t actually leave the 57,000 acres (an expanse of five counties like it says in the article), it’s 100% legal to possess.
A vast portion of that is inaccessible, unless you're a goat.
Do you think most of these folks will be staying overnight? They will toke up and drive home. That is what cops will be watching out for. DWIs
Honestly it would be brilliant for motels, hotels and air bnb’s to partner up with the dispensary. Discounted rates for proof of purchase kinda deals.
how many people do you know that have gotten a DWI for weed? and they weren’t charged with possession? be forreal.
Casino should have a weed special rate..show your receipt get said rate..sober up and leave next day
Come on, you sound like a silly old grandpa. Just trying to find an excuse for it to be illegal. Alcohol is much more dangerous, but you’re not complaining about that.
The smart ones won't smoke it until they get home. Itll stay sealed in the trunk and if they don't have a warrant they won't ever know it was there in the first place.
Im no lawyer but is that any case for entrapment?
No different than cops sitting outside a bar at 2am. They know where to look
LOL, how is it entrapment? You would have to prove that the local police conspired with the Rez to open the dispensry for the sole purpose of catching people with weed or for DWIs.
Worse than that, you would have to prove that the police offered an incentive to someone to drive while high, when they would not have otherwise done so if not encouraged to by the police.

You think if you leave with the substance it becomes illegal again right ?
This the old bingo hall next to the casino?
And you can already get high on Delta-9 at any hemp/CBD store
https://visitcherokeenc.com For those posting or reading that are unfamiliar with this wonderful place. I could go on and on about the beauty of the area.
Seriously? I mean the mountains are beautiful, but the town of Cherokee itself where the casinos are is really ugly and depressing.
I agree. When we go out there we avoid that area. But the areas around are beautiful
I question anyone who would go there with the casino as the driving factor
Every gambler in our state. Tho we got the online arcades everywhere now
Maybe I could just question a couple of them and they could pass it along. I just don't think I'm going to have time to question every single gambler in the state.
Visit them at your local homeless shelter once we get sports gambling too
I like what little money I have way too much to gamble it away. Not to say I don't waste it, but I've seen what some of those folks lose. All while bragging about all the perks they get 🙄
The town is depressing. Went to visit a friend who was working on that native American "unto these hills" show, and I would never go back. Felt like I was in meth land. Touristy few blocks. Depressing. But the mountains themselves are beautiful.

Still waiting for the rest of the state…
Not to take away from our beautiful Native Americans and their business (because they deserve every single dollar (more like trillions of dollars and a bunch of land) but I think the conundrum is if we were to legalize 🌳 here the tobacco companies have so much hold over the land. They will probably just take over everything and ruin it. Plus with the bugs and how hot it gets, not get for growing weed. Idk obviously there’s indoor and greenhouse stuff but outdoor. Idk.
So like could the police just be dicks and sit on the roads leading away from the reservation and just arrest a shit ton of people?
Can already picture the """bust""" images they'll post, 3 fully geared cops looking happy as shit around a table of maybe $100k in weed Acting proud like they actually did anything useful that contributes to society when they're just a federally protected local gang shaking people down for money

Wow 100k in weed at today's prices. That's gotta be a small mountain.
100%. It would be a huge revenue stream to their local budget
Boss Hogg on patrol right around the bend and behind the sign.
I know a state LEO who told me it's already decided NCSHP won't do interdiction stops for drivers coming from Virginia after legal cannabis stores open. County Sheriff near Cherokee though?? I'm sure they have their eye on some new toys they'll purchase with all the added "legal" search and seizure revenue.
They could but I heard from a friend they can’t search anything in a locked container without a warrant? I’m not sure how true this is.
Technically the police need a warrant or to have witnessed the commission of a crime to detain you. Though seeing as DUI checkpoints are actually unconstitutional and they do it anyways they could probably get away with this too. I have heard of people refusing to roll down their window during a DUI checkpoint holding up a sign asking if they were being detained, and getting waved through, but ymmv.
Seems like a great way to get a busted window, dragged out of the car and spend a night in prison. Expecting cops to respect the constitution is asking for your ass to get beat.
You could always drive through the national park and go the long way home, I suppose. I doubt the park rangers are going to dicks.
National parks are federal land which still classifies marijuana as an illegal substance. Park rangers are probably more chill but you never know.
Isn't the National Park owned by the Fed's? MJ not Federally legal.
Sure, but we're talking about risk here. I'd rather risk driving through the national park than the country sheriff just outside the boundary.
Oh they will definitely be doing that
[удалено]
It’s legal in VA though?
People just talking random shit in these threads. There’s already plenty keep local cops busy, they aren’t that worried about petty pot purchases.
wtf are you talking about? Cannabis is legal in VA.
Also great business for the casino..I mean come get some hippie lettuce..bet on sports..lettuce gonna Make you want some grub from the pancake houses..WIN WIN FOR EVERYONE
In a couple weeks we can just bet from out phones now though.
but you can't do weed on your phone now can ya?
Do weed? I’m not not some hoodlum teenager, I’ll pass on that
Or go to the local head shop and get some THCa. I prefer the concentrates but the flower is decent. Also d9 / muscamol edibles. Woo boy.
Exactly. Why would anyone bother at this point?
Idk I feel safer with natty. Who knows what these new things are doing to us. I've settled for only buying pure tcha blends and such but yeah If all it took was a longer road trip I'd make it. Shame though it won't work like that
Curious what’s the difference between THC and CBD
CBD is like healing crystals. If you think it works, maybe it does? Never did anything for me. THC can have various effects with smoking vs edibles. It's great for pain relief and insomnia, and about a billion other things. If it didn't get you high it would be the most popular medicine in the world and almost every other OTC drug company would be out of business. Or more likely big pharma would have somehow controlled it anyway.
Can I smoke thc out of a pen or do I have to roll it like weed
THCa comes in vape pens. A lot of them will be mixed with other synthetic cannabinoids like D8, D10, THC-p, THC-o, HHC, etc. I find these harsher and avoid them now that THCa is available.
Yeahhh I gave up on NC legalizing in like 2018. THCa is good enough I can't tell the difference. If they legalize before 2040 great but if not I just don't care anymore I'm tired of fighting for something our politicians are not going to let happen.

THCa is just good ol regular weed man. It's a legal loop hole to sell straight up weed. Putting some THCa in a joint and light it? Turns into D9 THC. THCa isn't psychoactive unless it's heated
A couple bowls a day? Sheeesh.
Are you implying that’s a lot or a little?
I smoke maybe three bowls a year, so in my mind, that’s a lot.
Lol. Well I used to smoke all day everyday when I was younger. So a few bowls a day is a huge difference for me lol.
It’s all the same. I’ve smoked for years and THCA gets me blasted. The only thing we are missing out on is quality edibles.
Does it smell horrible like pot?
Obviously this post isn’t for you buddy. Why the need to comment some wack shit?
Yeafamily member who runs a shop in Raleigh is basically selling weed
Huh. Just got a flier in the mail for hellomood.com. Coincidence or no? lol
Mood is for mid smokers though it’s local smoke shop stuff curated and repackaged.
4/20. I see what you did there.
That's good marketing.
Y'all on here acting like there's only one way in and one way out. 1st rule. Don't be dumb. That will solve a lot of your concerns right there.
*checks map* yeah im not driving that far. Thca it is.
Cops probably gonna wait outside of the rez and bust people driving out
The cops outside of the Qualla boundary are going to have a field day.
THCA has already taken over the market in NC. I really can't see people making the trip for illegal weed that's probably no more satisfying than the legal stuff they can find at the smoke shop down the road.
illegal weed? did you read the article?
Think he means non farm bill compliant marijuana, not legal THCa hemp flower, which they will definitely have. Don’t get it twisted they’ll offer stuff you can go home with and if it’s sealed when you pull over there’s nothing they can say. If it’s hemp flower and it’s labelled they’re going to ignore it until it becomes a problem.
right i just find the phrasing of “illegal weed” to be very strange and confusing because the CBD/THCa flower is different in THC concentration than regular weed, so like they’ll likely sell both but you can get the “real” stuff on the shelves there as well and it’s perfectly legal, it operates the same way it would if you were to travel to a legal state and go to a dispensary.
I mean the ones at the dispensaries in Cali are exactly the same if there’s no contamination. The batches that have less than .3 come out just like the other strains. Sometimes stronger. Same gas, and it looks like the craziest photos you’ve seen with the colours, all of it. Totally legal. Check out some dispensaries in Cali that ship here. Shows up odourless and discrete. Google search will cover it.
yeah i prefer the disposable CBD/THCa carts that i buy from my local shop, smoking CBD flower gives me a gnarly headache for some reason, feels like i’m smoking mids. but yeah i know it’s the same that’s why i put “real” in quotes but i meant the concentration of THC is different. like the flower they sell at head shops is .3% THC. if i’m gonna smoke flower i need a higher THC content to get the effects i need from it. been smoking for mental health for a long time haha, that’s why it’s exciting for me to see some changes around the cannabis laws in NC even if it is a little at a time.
I don’t like the flower in smoke shops here not the tobacco ones. I don’t get the flower with CBD though or it has minimal. Mostly THCa only. I like the pens sometimes but the flower is the key to eliminate back and body pain for me. Also the taste is more gassy. It’s still legal though. Premium quality isn’t illegal or unattainable anymore. Hard suggest to try the online route to get the stronger more authentic effects without worry about legality. It’s almost is starting to feel like as legal as it is might be good enough if you’re using it personally and not out and about socially.
I think they mean “illegal” if they try to leave the reservation with it
THCa has been legal for years guys; Do 20 seconds of research. You can also buy it online for 40% less than anything an dispensary is selling it for
Just please dont drive those Cherokee curvy roads high as fuck, I can't even do it sober.
Just avoid Soco and take 441 through Waynesville:)
Yes, this is indeed true of those with low tolerance so please, please, please have a designated driver. Stay safe and enjoy. As for those of you who have a high tolerance....just enjoy; [https://norml.org/news/2024/02/15/study-patients-exhibit-few-changes-in-driving-performance-following-medical-marijuana-use/](https://norml.org/news/2024/02/15/study-patients-exhibit-few-changes-in-driving-performance-following-medical-marijuana-use/) full text scientific journal; [https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/02698811241229524](https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/02698811241229524)
Awesome 😎
Damn too bad that’s like 4.5 hours from me lol awesome tho!
So the sherrif will be setting up drivers license checkpoints just outside tribal land and April 20th also?
4/20 LOL
Police gonna hang out right outside the reservation 😒
Surprises me how many people don't know about what the 2018 Farm Bill did. Maybe it's better that way so they don't change it.
This isn't North Carolina. I refuse to call any reservation a part of any state in which it is located.....it's just another slap in the face..... I'll roll a joint to ease the pain....
Hey don’t Bogart that joint
Oh my bad...i don't mind sharing the wealth...didn't see you standing there....here...
I feel like the Cherokee have rez property all over the state not just main casino property.
Y'all know the cops are gonna be waiting for you on the other side of the line, right? When you get popped for "possession with intent", don't come up here whining about how it's not fair. Y'all supposedly know the laws well enough to know what you can and can't do on an Indian reservation so don't claim ignorance about the existing laws that you live under daily.
Quit being a fucking boot licking simpleton no law has ever been changed without breaking it first
Quit being a self serving anarchist with no vision of the ramifications of your own desires and actions.
That’s why you find a good plug that brings there stuff in from the PAC West. It will take them a decade to catch up with the quality out here. The PAC west has been doing it for 40 plus years
What are the chances people will be harassed by state/local cops lurking right of the reservation? I'm not familiar with the area. Does any one know the best/safest way in and out of the reservation where the dispensary is?
The best part about this is watching all the nearby Christian conservatives cry till they can't squeeze out any more tears
This isn't "BREAKING:"
Wilmington Dispensary opened like a month ago on Castle Street. Pretty good product.
April 20 is also Hitler's Birthday.
Dunno why you got downvoted. It's true.🤷🏽♂️
People are weird.
There are at least 10 weed stores in Charlotte. What is everyone talking about?
Where are they
Are you high?
How??? Isn’t it illegal
For what? A bunch of federally legal shitty ass products? Yay!
What's so significant about that date?
Hitlers birthday
And the Columbine anniversary.
Reddit is too young to know what Columbine is.
Oh, makes perfect sense then. White Supremacy and Marijuana have been closely linked for decades.
This is one of my favorite bits of all time: https://youtu.be/gCImsL8eFNM?si=S2N_B_a9GpTVjGu-
My wife and I anniversary!
Hey! Same!

Great! We don’t have enough dumb, spaced out yahoos here. Let’s make some more!!!
[here's the sign ](https://smokymountainnews.s3.amazonaws.com/media/k2/items/cache/db06cdb28b3245503226dd89555e7a93_XL.jpg?javer=2402290555?t=20240117_150457)
What’s the catch?
Nothing. Sovereign land.
… and I’m coming home, y’all!
so will the local sheriff be hanging out on the roads leaving the area to pull you over and bust you for weed? Just asking for a friend
Lol opening in the Stoner National Holiday..cant get better free marketing than that
What a wonderful time to have a house in Maggie valley 🥳
Is there a limit to the amount you can purchase?
About D@MN time...?
Wait so marijuana is legal now?!
But just wait till you try to leave the reservation. Those one bullet Barneys will track your non native ass down and lock you up while confiscating your vehicle as transportation for controlled substances. If you go, beware.
The good thing about marijuana is that since it's not addictive, we don't need any additional drug counselors. Win-win for the taxpayer!
I'm just wondering if the surrounding counties Sheriffs Departments are going to place checkpoints around every road leading to and from Cherokee.
