Good cannabis starts with good information
Plain-English answers about the plant: what's legal in North Carolina, how to dose, what strain labels really mean, and what to expect on your first dispensary visit.
More than a dispensary. A Tribal mission.
Our Story
Great Smoky Cannabis Co. is the retail arm of Qualla Enterprises, LLC — owned and operated by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
Stewards of the EBCI cannabis industry — for the Tribe, by the Tribe.
Qualla Enterprises, LLC was built as a completely vertical corporation: independent, socially and environmentally sustainable, and designed to benefit the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians at the highest capacity. Every product on our shelves traces back to that mission — creating well-paying jobs, diversifying the Tribal economy, and enlightening others about the responsible, medicinal use of this plant.
A fully vertical, tribally-owned operation — cultivation, processing, and retail run entirely by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians on their own sovereign land.
Every dollar earned funds new jobs, diversifies the Tribal economy, and reinvests directly in the Cherokee community that calls the Qualla Boundary home.
Traditional Cherokee reverence for the land guides state-of-the-art, environmentally conscious growing — quality medicine, grown responsibly.
