Tomorrow at 10am, North Carolina’s first-ever recreational marijuana store will open its doors to everyone 21 and older.
Although the Great Smoky Cannabis Company is located in Cherokee, on the tribal land of Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (three hours from Charlotte and 4.5 hours from Raleigh), anyone who’s at least 21 years old can come into the store and purchase a variety of marijuana and marijuana products. There is no requirement to be a tribal member, or a medical marijuana patient.
The marijuana superstore, housed in a former bingo hall that underwent a renovation costing more than $50 million, initially launched on April 20, serving only medical marijuana patients who were also members of the tribe. By July 4, recreational sales were introduced, but access remained restricted to tribal members. Starting on September 7, the store will welcome anyone aged 21 and over, allowing them to purchase a wide array of marijuana products.
The Great Smoky Cannabis Company is set to open at 10 a.m. on Saturday, offering free shirts to the first 100 customers. Additional perks include free photobooth pictures and a “secret item menu drop,” as noted on their website.
Customers can expect a wide variety of marijuana products at the store, including dried flower, prerolls, concentrates, edibles, tinctures, and more. You can find their full menu by clicking here.
