The dispensary will offer a range of products from vape pens to pre-packaged buds, marijuana cigarettes and edibles.

In the North Carolina mountains, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians open North Carolina’s first marijuana dispensary on Saturday.

Saturday — no surprise — is April 20, recognized as the national cannabis holiday.

The dispensary will offer a range of products from vape pens to pre-packaged buds, marijuana cigarettes and edibles. All products have been produced locally.

Back in September, tribal members voted to approve the adult use of marijuana on tribal land without a cannabis card.

It will be in the tribe’s old bingo hall on US 19 near Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort. This is west of Asheville.
