Cherokee Tribe In North Carolina Kick Off Legal Weed Sales As State Lawmakers Turn A Deaf Ear To Medical Marijuana Yet Again
Recreational cannabis sales kicked off at Great Smoky Cannabis Co., an Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians' dispensary on the Fourth of July. The store hosted the grand opening event on 4/20 and has been selling medical cannabis ever since in the otherwise fully prohibitionist state of North Carolina. This opening followed the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) Tribal Council's 2021 decision to legalize medical cannabis within the Qualla Boundary. The ECBI is a sovereign self-governed nation and a federally recognized tribe, whose members said yes to recreational cannabis as well, on the Sept. 7 referendum, last year.

GOP Lawmaker In N Carolina Calls Cannabis 'A Gateway Drug' Despite State Reform Approval, Illegal Weed Sales Flourish In Trenton NJ And More Updates
The GOP-dominated North Carolina Senate passed legislation to legalize medical marijuana while imposing stringent controls on hemp-derived products recently. However, the members of the state's General Assembly haven't taken up the measure yet.One of the scarce medical cannabis operators in Alabama is running its cultivation facility in the town of Goshen, where roughly 1,000 marijuana plants are being grown behind high-security fences, cameras, and warning signs. CRC of Alabama, LLC was one of the first companies to get awarded a license to cultivate, process, transport, test, and sell medical marijuana products, as the state cannabis regulator was stuck in a legal battle around the license allocation process.Much like in neighboring New York, the New Jersey capital of Trenton is experiencing a growing number of illegal cannabis stores, and Reed Gusciora, the city mayor is aware of it, as reported by Green Market Report's John Schroyer.
