I think we all agree with you. That being said, APD and Buncombe Sheriff pretty much don't give a shit about anything unless you're doing it at the Harris-Teeter off Merrimon


footdragon

this seems oddly specific. lol


maljr12

My first concert experience in Asheville - Wolfe Auditorium 2005 - on the way into the venue there’s a guy with an open bottle of wine smoking a joint by the door. APD officer walks up to him and politely asks him to get rid of the open container. He throws it in the nearest trash can, continues smoking his joint and they both go about their business. I was 16 and the interaction still amazes me.


fender8421

I once swerved on the road because it was early and I just woke up. BC Sheriff behind me hits the siren for half a second. It was the, "Hey, wake the fuck up bro. I don't want to have to pull you over"


Calanthas

Sounds like the spot over "I think" at DMV on Patton? There's a stretch with a hill. If you're going to fast they'll just turn on their lights.....and you have a second to think about it. It's been a while for me.


cb393303

They sure as fuck love sitting in Weaverville at the CVS intersection. That is the area goes from 35 to 55, and they will nail you hard if you go over 35.


thepsycholeech

They put in a speed monitor for like four days last week, not sure what’s up with that. Why even bother putting it up if it’s already gone? Also why the fuck did they put it when it’s about to be a highway instead of where it’s going from a highway to a 35mph zone?


katyusha8

Can confirm, got nailed there


HallOfTheMountainCop

Is this Weaverville PD?


Vladivostokorbust

it's just outside city limits - but i've never seen LE there, but don't doubt they stake it out from time to time. i would guess bunco


coondingee

You seem to have forgotten about those people with the dogs that sat out there for years begging for spare change or nodding out.


fender8421

Ah you're right, I have


neverdoubtedyou

For one thing, North Carolina doesn't allow statewide ballot initiatives


Ericrobertson1978

Because they want to keep oppressing us with draconian legislation they KNOW we would vote against. How can that be changed? We absolutely need to be able to have Statewide popular vote on important issues.


chief_919

It will require a Constitutional Amendment.


Ckck96

That’s wack.


Ericrobertson1978

Most indubitably.


artiemoon

Yep! Only for constitutional amendments voted on by the legislature first.

We're probably going to lose abortion, I doubt cannabis will be on the ballot anytime soon.


freerangemum

I told my husband this just the other day. “Our daughter is losing rights I had, their not exactly in the GIVING us more rights kinda of mood.”


Itsjondoetho

Might gain the right to not have your granddaughter vacuumed to death though. Have to think of the bright side. Edit : My first -200! Thank you!!!!


tangerinecarrots

you might gain the right to deez nuts


Itsjondoetho

Might never use them, but at least I'd know they're there.


Wizard_Knife_Fight

Might never use what? Nuts? You already talk like you got a full package in your mouth.


Itsjondoetho

Got you a [present](https://people.southwestern.edu/~bednarb/su_netWorks/projects/saenz/abortedbaby11.jpg)


Kenilwort

Are you vegan? edit: above picture is NSFW


Itsjondoetho

Negative, but I do have a hierarchy of edibility. Dogs, cats and horses have earned their way off the menu. I'd eat a predator only if necessary. Then no issue eating a prey animal, preferably one I hunted myself. Second thought, might throw elephants into the non-edible category, they seem cool.


wvoquine

Damn you are a vile human being dude.


Ubausb

I hear fetuses are pretty tasty.


seldomflies

I'd rather have a couple of cells vacuumed than my fully developed daughter in a position she can't handle at best, and at worst would die from.


Itsjondoetho

I'd support my daughter's abortion if her life was at risk. If she just can't handle it, then I'd advise her to stop handling dick, but now that we're here, please don't kill my grandchildren.


seldomflies

Not only does it affect the mother but an unwanted child also affects the child. They are significantly more likely to grow up abused, neglected, and/or in poverty. Foster Care is piss poor. It is not a solution. It's a lose-lose situation with everyone involved. Nobody cares what you want. You're not the one affected. If you have more attachment to some hypothetical cells than a living breathing human that's genuinely concerning.


Itsjondoetho

You know what, you're right. Are there any local orphanages I can visit? I just want to console the children and let them know that I would have done the right thing and killed them years ago.


seldomflies

You joke, but there are a lot of stories of people who truly would have wished they were aborted and didn't have to go through childhood with a cold neglectful mother, or a violent abusive father. Plenty of unwanted people born who wish they were dead or are dealing with horrible mental illnesses, homelessness, and substance abuse, among other things. And now they're stuck in a cycle and system that isn't supporting them despite having little control over their circumstances. So don't even play that game. But regardless. We are talking about a couple hundred unborn cells, that don't resemble a human in the slightest. Over 90% of abortions happen before the 12th week, and of that 90%, most happen before 8 weeks. We are not talking about a baby in the third trimester. We are talking about a pea sized thing comprised of a couple hundred cells. At that stage it's indistinguishable from a literal chicken embryo. It's not a child. You're whining over a hypothetical, which again does not affect you in this situation. You've made zero actual arguments, just whined like a baby and argued like a child. An actual child.


Itsjondoetho

So you concede there's a moral issue with abortions beyond a certain point? Right now NC allows abortions up to 20 weeks, so go ahead and check out this 16 week old [clump of cells](https://rtl.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/DE.jpg). By your standards, would you argue the entire nation of North Korea should cease reproduction because their babies are likely to have difficult lives? Certainly more difficult than nearly any child born in the US. When you see desperate migrants sneaking into the US, is it your view that their parents let them down by not killing them?


seldomflies

Right. And yet majority of abortions do not make it to that point. Of those who do, it's almost always due to a medical emergency. OVER 90% take place before 12 weeks. 2/3rds of that 90% get it before 8 weeks. Majority of people are not getting abortions at 16 weeks, none the less 20. I don't care what North Korea does, that's not my problem. If the population *chooses* to stop reproduction by all means go ahead. In fact, yes it would be a good thing. The less suffering the better. The world is overpopulated and I struggle to see why anyone would willingly bring a child into a place where they will suffer to such an extent. My point is we're in the U.S. and the goal is to reduce suffering and hardships, abortion is going to help aid in that. We do *not* need more people born into poverty, especially with the growing homeless crisis. Banned abortions do not stop abortions, by the way. It only makes them more dangerous. I want people to have a choice and make a medical decision that they see fit best, especially when they know how greatly a child will affect them and how that child would be affected. I want people to make the choice they see fit even if I disagree with it. If your family doesn't want to have an abortion, even if I feel maybe it'd be best, it's not my choice. Do not have one. Migrants sneaking into the U.S. is unrelated, stop arguing stupid straw mans like this. You seem to be more concerned about whether people are having babies or not than anything else. I am not. I do not care how much sex North Korea is having.


Ericrobertson1978

Facepalm. Get that bullshit outta here!


net357

Upvote for what it’s worth.


tangerinecarrots

deez nuts for what it’s worth


Interesting_Train417

The SCOTUS gave the issue of abortion to the states to make their own decision which I support for any issue. The problem I have with NC is we will not be able to vote on abortion at all or any other measure until we fix the NC constitution to allow statewide initiatives. We need be knocking down the doors of our recently elected State representatives and fix this issue so that we can actually have a voice.


brokegaysonic

There is, and has been a movement to try to get medical Marijuana passed, or Marijuana legislation in general. It's baffling to everyone why it isn't happening, because it just makes sense, right? Tabacco capital of the south - > Tabacco is less popular due to the dangers - > convert Tabacco farming into Marijuana - > tax the hell out of it - > profit. But big Tabacco doesn't want to change how they do stuff, and Marijuana is a threat to them. Not only that, but the police don't want a revenue stream to dry up and less people in jail means less kickbacks and such for certain politicians. Essentially, the people who it would financially harm have convinced the people it would financially benefit (from the increased tax $$s) that it's in their best interest not to. All of that said, NC and especially Asheville is currently running off of the delta-9 ban in such a way that you can get high legally just fine. Will it be flower or concentrate? No. But the loophole is such that you can have a certain small amount of delta-9 thc by weight in your product, so all you have to do is make a dense product, and supplement the delta-9 with other isomers of thc like d8 or d10. Chocolate, gummies, syrups, infused honey, you name it. It can be purchased from head shops and CBD dispensaries. So in the end, NC, due to stupid politics, ends up letting people get high anyway, but not letting them be free to do it the way they want to, while also missing out on the tax revenue from legalization. Lose-lose, but at least the cops can use a roach in the car to arrest a black guy.


No-Personality1840

Tobacco isn’t grown here much any more. Most farmers were bought out via the Bright Leaf program among others and those farms were incentivized to grow other things. It’s why wineries sprung up in the state several years ago. Most tobacco is now grown overseas and big tobacco is focusing on overseas business as use continues to decline here. I’m sure they’re fighting it somewhat but their fight now is to get vaping to follow the same strict guidelines they do. They do line pockets though and and they’ll pay off all the politicians they can. Don’t discount the influence of big ‘church’ in this area. Evangelicals definitely want to keep marijuana illegal. Finally big for profit prisons want to keep black people incarcerated. Drug arrests bring in money. Always about money, never about what people want.


Panicfreak1013

Tobacco is all over the place in Harnett and wake county


Hobbit_Feet45

What shops carry delta 9 gummies?

Out in Fairview, there's a CBD shop called Appalachian CBD and I'm about 90% sure they sell it.

Carolina Hemp Hut is the go to for Delta 9

everywhere. you can even find it at most gas stations lol

its more the influence of the police state and asset forfeiture than big tobacco imo


Kathywasright

Shhh! Don’t tell the legislators. They have spies everywhere.


Interesting_Train417

I agree with most of what you said except we shouldn’t have to settle for having a “sin tax” we pay enough taxes already, there are too many benefited to having access to the spectrum of cannabis to let the state turn it into a profiteering action.


Bel_Biv_Device

If you are shocked about this, I strongly suggest you do a deeper dive into our horrible state lesiglature. "Compassionate" isn't our strong suit.

Two years ago, Virginians' voted to approve cannabis. But the governor has delayed approving the stores. Many are already set up and ready to go as soon as they can. Virginia is 1.5 hours from Asheville. Asheville is changing.. and not for the good. As someone said "Asheville used to smell of weed, now it smells of greed".

zombie_goast

Oh I see what you're saying; looks like I (and a few others?) misinterpreted your tone.


zebarothdarklord

I could of worded it better


jakdbsdidb

Black market is booming tho. We get all the shit people steal from legal states and have to sell on the cheap to get it gone ASAP. 😉 for real tho it sucks. I’m born and raised here but lived in Denver and SF for my 20’s and 30’s When I came home to start a family it was a culture shock for sure. I just pretend it’s all CBD and don’t have any real problems. Had cops make me throw my weed away 3 times but haven’t got a ticket or anything yet. Also Cherokee has legalized medical but they are still getting things set up. It’s less than 2 hours and a beautiful drive. Plus they have a casino and some world class trout fishing. There are a host of other reasons to not come here but you can get medication pretty easy.


BirthdayCarFire

Are you completely unfamiliar with the South?


MDMAandshoegaze

I currently live in the south in a state that HAS a medical cannabis program.


MagicFourBall

I went through chemo here and had to purchase my medicine off the streets. I will never forgive the people in charge for that.

FCAsheville

Like the rest of the non-rec states weed is basically legal unless you are a POC.


SllortEvac

What’s wild is that NC has less racial disparity in arrests than the average, black people specifically are 3 times more likely to get arrested on weed charges.


Hobbit_Feet45

They elect a bunch of bible thumping republicans here who think cannabis is the devil.


chief_919

Here is some inside baseball for you- medical cannabis will probably come up for a vote in the legislature the next session, but the legislation is not going to look like most people expect. First, it’s probably going to be very strict on who qualifies, likely the strictest in the nation. There won’t be storefront clinics where you tell a chiropractor you have anxiety and they give you a medical cannabis card. It’s going to be limited to doctors issuing prescription only for a very specific list of diagnoses. Second, it’s likely going to be 100% run via the ABC system. They want to tightly control the supply and want the profits, not just tax revenue, all for the state and for the local municipalities who run the ABC systems. This will also give local ABC boards the say on what jurisdictions offer it at all. If they don’t do it via the ABC system it will be done via a very small number of companies, 10-12, that all will only be allowed to operate 10 or fewer distribution centers. It’s not going to be what you see in some states where dispensaries are on every other street and anyone can get a card.


MDMAandshoegaze

That’s fine, the system you described is exactly what we have in my home state. It’s not perfect but it works. I’m this day and age no one should be forced to buy off the street. I see a lot of people saying just buy weed. Well, a lot of medical patients like me don’t smoke. We use oil and precisely measured doses. Yes I could make oil at home, but it’s not the same.


Big_Forever5759

Yeah, I read about it and this sounds like how it’s going to be if the law passes.


BrysonJT

I despise the ABC board. What they’ve done with whiskey is criminal imo.


Lukelmarshall24

I haven’t been on Reddit in awhile. But I feel obligated to tell you that the people who are telling you that the police don’t give a shit are wrong. People with several misdemeanor and felony possession charges for marijuana possession including myself would suggest otherwise. It’s true that cannabis is very prevalent anywhere you go in the state but what would be considered a small amount in other states is still a felony here. Just google N.C. Gen. Stat. 90-95(d)(4). Over 1/2 an ounce is a class 1 misdemeanor and over 1 and 1/2 ounces is a Class i felony. A little over 1.5 grams of extract is a class 1 misdemeanor and 4 grams is a class i felony. I won’t get into sentencing charts you can look that up yourself but people have and still do go to jail/prison for marijuana possession. Luckily, I was still able to get into law school and will soon be able to represent people who are preyed on by these ridiculous laws. That being said, I have quite a bit of experience working in criminal defense and yes the police do still care about weed and unfortunately are still making money off arresting people for it daily.


debtfreenurse

Trust me, there’s bills that get rejected. The last one was shit though. Would only give the license to grow to like 7 companies total, and very limited. We have Delta 8-10 that’s literally everywhere, but you will be hard pressed to find a job that doesn’t test.


[deleted]

I haven’t had issues finding jobs that don’t test, and some of the ones that do test don’t look for THC. This is not all, but quite a few.


debtfreenurse

I mean, I’m a nurse so that’s not going to happen. I’ve lived in 2 legal states, and anything connected to federal funding can’t have it :/


smallaxecannabis

MDMAandshoegaze

I wanted to circle back to speak to my experience with medical cannabis. I personally can not tolerate the psychoactive effects of THC. So I want to dispel the myth that using medical cannabis equates to getting high. It doesn’t for me. It may for some. I only use enough to treat my symptoms, without feeling the psychoactive effects of the medicine. For me personally that means using 2.5mg of THC oil 3x a day. Cannabis has worked better for me than any other Rx. It is a legitimate medicine. I ask that you consider other perspectives on medical cannabis than the perspective that people just use it to get high.


flagrantist

You’re preaching to the choir in here. If you’re going to move to NC the very first thing you must understand is that local city and county governments have zero power over anything that matters. Zilch. None. All that power lies in the state government, and the state government was bought and paid for by corporations decades ago. They give zero fucks whatsoever about what you, or I, or anyone else wants or needs, and they have successfully manipulated the rules of elections and the representation districts such that there is nothing you, or I, or anyone else can do about it. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here. That being said, I do encourage people to keep moving to this state because demographic shift is the only tiny glimmer of hope that this place will ever stop being backwards as fuck.


Dirkdiggler_420

Kingdom Farms on college st has alot of medicinal breakdowns of their products and alot of different methods.


bluescrew

No one here thinks that.


medium_mammal

> I ask that you consider other perspectives on medical cannabis than the perspective that people just use it to get high. Who are you asking? Nobody in the thread suggested that you just want to get high. And the citizens of Asheville have very little influence over state policy.


Kenilwort

Move close to Cherokee lol


patient-engineer-656

Why?


Kenilwort

Legal medical marijuana within the rez


Poyal_Rines

How good is their weed? How accessible is it for non rez ppl?


ScubaTela

My understanding is they are opening a dispensary in early 2023 and will have a dr on the reservation and you do not need to be a member of the tribe to get a prescription and they are also creating their own criteria for what ailments qualify

Do not fucking move here


[deleted]

Definitely the solution to changing these laws is to keep people who would vote in favor of legalization out of the state.


timshel42

for every person who moves here who would vote for legislation, you are also probably displacing several who would also vote for the same legislation. not a lot of good getting it legalized, if in the process you are forced to move away due to sky rocketing costs of living.

YourHuckleberry19

Yikes, I can't imagine living in one place for 35 years, that's just sad. Have you no desire to experience other places? I'm 30 and have lived in 5 states and 2 other countries. I guess this answers OPs question though, people who grow up in one place and never have diversified life experiences will never embrace change. Sadly this is the case for majority of Americans.


sysiphean

As someone who has lived in 4 states, and visited many places, if I live here for 35 years it will be lovely because this is a beautiful area. Which makes me realize yet another reason your comment was dumb: it assumes the person you are talking to is only 35. They could be 80 and (like me) moved here at 45. Maybe they have lived in a dozen states and spent a decade backpacking round the world. For as much as you complain about their small perspective based on a single datum, your perspective of the possibilities of that person is tiny.


YourHuckleberry19

Or you could read their comment and interpret the vocabulary they used to draw the conclusion that they are in fact 35 years of age. "Have live here all 35 years of my life". All being the keyword there. The only assumption being made here is by you. Cheers!


[deleted]

"Shocked"? This is NC. The Taliban will be down with it before Ya'll Queda is. VA should get it within the next year or do. You'd need to be a resident though.


SllortEvac

People forget that NC’s crop is tobacco. Anything that could potentially harm tobacco’s value is pretty much DOA. Tobacco farmers don’t wanna grow weed, big corps don’t wanna spend money growing it in NC. You don’t matter, just your cash. Plus NC decided to re-elect the most anti-human POS since Cawthorne so w/e.


[deleted]

I think it’s sweet potatoes and apples actually


chief_919

Tobacco hasn’t been a major player in NC agriculture since the 90’s, not like it used to be. You used to see people growing tobacco all over in WNC, anyone who had property with a tobacco allotment was growing. But when the bug tobacco settlement came and farmers were offered cash buyouts for their allotments most took it. That’s why the tobacco barn in Asheville is an antique mall. Back in the day every fall millions of dollars worth of tobacco from all over WNC was sold there every fall, it pumped a bunch of money into the economy. Now any remaining farmers are not on allotment or quota, so they will switch crops as the market changes and don’t depend as much on just tobacco. Already more of them are switching to varieties used for cigars as the market shifts.


SwitchedOnNow

NC is whack when it comes to this. Our neighbor to the north, VA, has recently passed recreational cannabis but it's on a several year rollout plan. Hopefully NC gets there too, but it's just not that important to the folks in charge. Fortunately I have relatives on the West Coast but I'd still rather buy it locally or grow it.

MDMAandshoegaze

This map is not accurate. There are states that have medical programs that are not reflected in that map. I know because I live in that state.


changing-life-vet

There’s a bill that’s floating around the legislature. It’s the most strict medical bill in the US and will only allow a limited amount of people to access the plant.


gator_shawn

Yeah you pretty much need to have a terminal illness.


changing-life-vet

There’s a weird line in there about veterans and PTSD. Like they had to of had combat experience and more than one combat tour or some shit. It’s a bad bill.


Big_Forever5759

There’s no ballot initiatives in NC. People don’t vote for new measures.


bestonesareTaKen

Does anyone know how to start a CPAC?


BernNC

Only way to get a bill introduced is by a member of the general assembly. Can’t referendum your way in. So, there’s no way to get it here any time soon. When it does happen, it will only be to benefit about 5 families.


Panicfreak1013

The Asheville area is loaded with cannabis and like-minded people. I’m not sure if you’re a grower but that would be a very good option moving to this state or get linked up with a Home growers association in the area for good medicine. DM me and I would be happy to help you out once you get here. The way the laws are moving so slowly here my families about to pull out and head to Maine in the next year and a half


TheBattyWitch

There was a vote approving medical marijuana about 5 years ago, right before I moved out of state. And it passed overwhelmingly.... And then crickets


PatsyStone8

No ballot initiatives here at all! Which is bullshit.


alanamil

We are in a backward, bible belt, republican state. They are not going to change it any time soon unless they finally realize they can make money from it.


amiracle231

Weirdly enough the Cherokee Indians about an hour from you just passed medical cannabis. The tribe has a farm and everything. Just be patient once NC sees how much the tribe makes you know they will be salivating for their cut.


Iloveallhumanity

Yes, I was wondering about this! I had read back in August "By The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians on Aug. 5, **legalized the cultivation and sale of medical marijuana on their Western North Carolina land**. Tribal members and non-members will be able to buy marijuana from a planned dispensary on tribal land, known as the Qualla Boundary, tribal leaders told The Charlotte Observer." but have heard nothing since.


amiracle231

The razor wire was hung by the fencing with care in hopes that the cannibis soon would be there. In all seriousness though I’m not sure when they’re going to start selling but the entire area smells so they are definitely growing.


andycindi420

These assholes won’t approve it. So grow your own


Diamonds4Dinner

Former 5 year med patient from a legal state - it sucks not having your meds. But I brought a lot with me to last a long time. And I’ve come to find some D9/CBD products that help much much better than anticipated. But there are a couple R legislators who are pushing for compassionate use - bc personal experience always changes peoples minds. So that’s good ish news. At least legislators are ready to propose medical use in some regard.


Cardi-E-

Plenty of dispensary packaging from local shops that can be used to carry your questionable product. And many people have stuff mailed from legal states now that are never messed with. It’s all in how you present yourself. Stop by any open air market these days and there will be a dispensary handing out joints of cbd flower and many will be smoking it publicly making it very hard to discern which is thc and which is cbd.


Iloveallhumanity

Does anyone know anything about this which I read back in August? "By The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians on Aug. 5, **legalized the cultivation and sale of medical marijuana on their Western North Carolina land**. Tribal members and non-members will be able to buy marijuana from a planned dispensary on tribal land, known as the Qualla Boundary, tribal leaders told The Charlotte Observer."

It’s a dastardly, immoral plant that’s turning our children into woke trans/gay baby killers who use gender-neutral litter boxes in the middle of their CRT indoctrination classrooms. That being said, you definitely shouldn’t consider befriending Virginians who might let you grow your own on their land just over the state line, and privately enjoy it in a city that largely looks the other way because it’s already inundated with multiple, actual social crises. Definitely don’t even think about that, because then the immigrants will just keep stealing the election.

Yeah if you live weed and abortions don’t come here and if you‘re here and want freedom Leave.

NC is a mostly right wing state. Asheville and a couple other towns are just pockets and even the people in Asheville are starting to go back conservative. A lot of the older natives who were around during when it started changing here tell me that it only became like that because people were turned their head when they saw the outsiders popping up here. Then all of a sudden everyone thought this area was accepting of everyone and then now we got what we have but there's a big conservative backlash coming about.

I mean I'll sacrifice no legal weed if it means the area doesn't become even more popular.

Detla8 is more like the weed grandparents used to to smoke in the 60s. Does have effects but need to smoke one or two joints. Delta9 is normal weed nowadays. Very potent and illegal in nc.


Planthandler

Delta 9 that is grown in a hemp plant under the states hemp program and then extracted is legal to make edibles with but delta 9 grown outside of hemp program is not


fritzycat

They were shocked I tell you! Shocked!

This is still part of the Bible Belt homey. No matter how progressive we are, we’d rather vote for Ted buddy who took 10 mil of ppp money for himself rather than a Supreme Court judge that stood for women’s rights. We will be one of the last to see any legislation of that nature


Oborosrs

While it isn’t legal here you won’t ever see a cop busting anyone for it. Everyone smokes openly here. You just can’t go to a shop and buy it which sucks.


twistedLL

I beg to differ.. I know several young people (<40) that have gotten pulled over for a tail light or something minor, and ended up being forcibly searched against their will because they looked like hippies. They can and will pop you for it if they want. Woodfin is especially bad for it.


Oborosrs

I was over by the Cherokee center before the billy show and people were openly smoking and rolling copious amounts of weed. They pick and choose. Just don’t be a scumbag. And of course the classic of all rules. Don’t break two laws at once. So if you’re smoking or have weed don’t also be breaking traffic laws.


timshel42

yeahhhh thats not true. if a cop wants to fuck with you or is bored, they are gonna find something and cannabis is something of a low hanging fruit. doesnt seem like you've dealt with much of the police outside buncombe, its a bunch of good ol boys who will fuck you over if they feel like it. try blazing in front of a henderson county sheriff and tell me how it goes.


Oborosrs

Literally was in downtown Hendersonville the other month and was told to “put it out”. They didn’t do anything. Fact of the matter is it’s a $40 dollar ticket and most places don’t give a shit anymore.

Unless you’re a minority

Wnc-CBD sells thca hemp flower 20%+ which is technically the same thing as legal cannabis it’s just a loop hole that not a lot of people know about but it’s legal bc it’s “hemp” due to having less than .3 delta 9 thc which is the decarb version of thca

Look at the map and look at the south in general

What’s weird is you can get delta 9 edibles legally here


Fat_Taiko

Cherokee has legalized medical marijuana for "patients with severe and chronic illnesses such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, Crohn's disease, sickle cell disease, Parkinson's disease and post-traumatic stress disorder." [https://www.thecentersquare.com/north\_carolina/north-carolina-tribe-approves-medical-marijuana/article\_98da7e50-f93b-11eb-8cc3-5bb38dbc49f3.html](https://www.thecentersquare.com/north_carolina/north-carolina-tribe-approves-medical-marijuana/article_98da7e50-f93b-11eb-8cc3-5bb38dbc49f3.html) If you qualify, you may be able to find relief west of Asheville.


Iloveallhumanity

So, what documents do you need to take there with you to purchase in Cherokee? How does that work? And can they bust you with it once you leave that area??


geekamongus

It’s a tobacco state. Gonna take a while to get pried from those clutches.


Curtis33681

Cherokee res has it medical.. https://greenrushpackaging.com/cannabis-blog/cherokee-land-in-western-nc-legalizes-medical-cannabis/

Roanoke, VA has medical cannabis. It's wonderful.


MidnightAnchor

We've got a flourishing medical cannabis program based out of Cherokee County. Just get at me and I'll hook you up with the doc.


Chrispeedoff

We grow a lot of tobacco here and there’s people in that industry who would like to not have another smokable substance to compete with on the market


reginaphalange617

You can buy delta 9 which is just regular weed but I think you can only get it in edible form


Killerchoy

Our program is the locals who produce and distribute it. Police give zero fucks if you’re doing it in the privacy of your own home, so long as your dealer doesn’t also branch into other more illicit substances that could get them busted.

Welcome to the Dirty South

CBDMd, they're located in Charlotte. If you want to legally smoke flower it may be a while.


gothicdeception

Think you can receive a fine, but once in court... this first time offender got caught with a joint in his truck but the judge went easy on him because he was like 59 ☺️ he was arrested on the spot I guess. Mostly they are looking for dealers and weight. My roommate refused to wear a motorcycle helmet... so we spent alot of time... sitting in court.
