North Carolina's 1st dispensary will open on 4/20, but only for medical cannabis

North Carolina's first marijuana dispensary will open on April 20. It will be the region's first opportunity to purchase the drug, which has been legalized by nearly half of American states while remaining illegal in North Carolina.

However, not everyone will be able to purchase marijuana at the dispensary.

For North Carolinians, only those with a Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians medical marijuana card will be able to purchase products at the dispensary, despite a September referendum showing widespread support for the sale of recreational marijuana, the Great Smoky Cannabis Company announced March 25. The dispensary will also sell to those who have out-of-state medical marijuana cards or other tribal medical cannabis cards.

Despite the pause on recreational sales, the type of products sold will vary widely, according to the Great Smoky Company news release.

"The new dispensary will open with high-quality tested products—including flower, vape products, edibles, topicals, and more—carefully curated to meet the diverse needs of patients. Product selection will continue to grow and evolve each month," the March 25 news release said.

The Great Smoky Cannabis Company is located at 91 Bingo Loop Road in Cherokee, where the dispensary website currently provides updates for future menu changes and a virtual tour of the 10,000 square-foot facility.

Recreational to come?

The effort to distribute marijuana at the 10,000 square-foot dispensary has been met with recent criticism from regional and statewide Republican lawmakers .

Congressman Chuck Edwards created the "Stop Pot Act" opposing the sale of medical and recreational marijuana throughout the United States and included a provision to remove federal funding for states and tribes who have passed legalization laws. North Carolina's two senators, Thom Tillis and Ted Budd, issued statements asking questions about the legality of marijuana on tribal lands.

Democratic State rep. Caleb Rudow — who is running for congress — and EBCI Chief Michell Hicks, have pointed to health benefits of marijuana and tribal sovereignty in defense of the dispensary, as previously reported by Citizen Times.

Though the referendum on the topic of recreational marijuana saw widespread support, Tribal Council has not yet passed a resolution amending current tribal laws to allow for the sale of recreational marijuana.

Cherokee One Feather reported the Tribal Council joint statement March 28. The council said they would continue to pursue the passage of recreational marijuana use.

"With 70 percent of voters in favor, we acknowledge the significance of this vote.  Since then, we have approached this responsibility seriously so that any legislation concerning cannabis is practical and thoughtful. This is a process that cannot be rushed; there are numerous factors to consider so that we are able to make the best decisions as these are decisions that can have significant long-term impacts on our tribe," the statement read, according to Cherokee One Feather.

Other questions about the project include how the marijuana will be transported to the dispensary. Roads from the farm where the cannabis is grown lead into Swain County territory where the plant remains illegal under North Carolina state law.

Qualla Enterprises General Manager Forrest Parker said there were two plans to transport marijuana from the Coopers Creek Road farm during the late-February work session on the adult-use ordinance.

One plan would have product moved through the air — meaning a plane or helicopter — while another would use a specific set of roads from the Coopers Creek farm to deliver the product to the dispensary, Parker said during the meeting.

How do you qualify for a medical cannabis patient card?

Since the region's first taste of marijuana — also known as cannabis or weed — only applies to those who qualify, here's a refresher on the rules for the region:

In order to qualify for a card, you must be a resident of North Carolina, 21 years old, along with paying $100 for the first issuance and an additional $100 for every year the card is renewed. Payment can only be made by cash, check or money order.

Tribal marijuana law only applies to Tribal lands. Cannabis remains illegal in North Carolina and federally.

After applying, patients must submit a recent photo with a white background.

In order to medically qualify, a resident must have a medical attestation from a physician that they have one of 18 qualifying conditions. No prescription is needed.

You can learn more at:  https://ebci-ccb.org/

Here are the conditions which qualify patients for a medical cannabis patient card:

Conditions for a medical cannabis patient card

• Acquired immune deficiency syndromes.
• Anxiety disorders.
• Autism spectrum disorder.
• An autoimmune disease.
• Anorexia nervosa.
• Dependence upon or addiction to opioids.
• A medical condition relate to the human immunodeficiency virus.
• A neuropathic condition, whether or not such condition causes seizures.
• Post-traumatic stress disorder.
• Crohn's disease.
• Sickle cell anemia.
• Amyotrophic lateral syndrome.
• Parkinson's disease.
• A condition resulting in the patient receiving hospice care.
• A medical condition or treatment for a medical condition that produces, for a specific patient, one or more of the following: cachexia; muscle spasms, including, without limitation, spasms caused by multiple sclerosis; seizures, including, without limitation seizures caused by epilepsy; nausea; or severe or chronic pain.

Missy Elliott announces first headlining tour featuring Busta Rhymes, Ciara and Timbaland

Missy Elliott just dropped an "out of this world" announcement.

The rapper, 52, on Monday revealed she will embark on her first headline tour, Out of This World — The Missy Elliott Experience, which heads across North America this summer and will feature Busta Rhymes , Ciara and Timbaland .

"Fans have been asking me to tour forever but I wanted to wait until I felt the time was right because I knew if I was ever going to do it, I had to do it big, and I had to do it with family!" Elliott said.

News of the tour was also shared in a sci-fi themed video , which was posted hours before Monday's total solar eclipse . In the clip, Elliott, Busta Rhymes and Ciara are seen outside of a spaceship realizing they have made a wrong turn and ended up on another planet. A press release announcing the tour also declared that Monday's "solar phenomenon was eclipsed" by Elliott's own "supernova announcement."

For Elliott, the tour comes after she made history last year as the first female rapper to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame . She told "Good Morning America" in November that "words cannot describe" how much of an honor this was. "When you're in the hip-hop world, it seems so far out of reach," she said.

Between that induction and this tour, the "Work It" singer said Monday, "This is an incredible time in my life as I am experiencing so many milestone 'firsts.'"

Her 24-city tour will commence on July 4 at Vancouver's Rogers Arena and conclude at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois, on Aug. 22.

The rapper's manager, Mona Scott-Young, said in a statement, "Missy has always been an iconic groundbreaker and continuously pushes herself to be bolder and go where she has never been before – and surprisingly, one of those places is headlining her own tour!"

Eclipse Day Will Make New York State’s Budget Even Later

New York lawmakers are moving closer to a deal on a state budget, but a slew of obstacles remain, including the timing of Monday’s total eclipse.

By Grace Ashford and Claire Fahy

Reporting from the State Capitol in Albany, N.Y.

For those who say that an on-time budget in New York State is about as likely as a solar eclipse, the odds on an eclipse are about to improve.

The negotiations over the state budget, which was due on April 1, have stretched on for more than a week past the deadline as differences over housing, education and health care have divided Democratic legislative leaders in Albany.

Now an eclipse has become grounds for further delay: The Assembly has decided not to hold session on Monday to allow members to view the astrological phenomenon from the comfort of their home districts.

Gov. Kathy Hochul, a moderate Democrat from Buffalo, has sought to use the budget to address what she sees as some of the most pressing issues facing the state: rising education and health care costs; a housing shortage; and the stubborn persistence and residual damage of retail theft.

But an increasingly progressive Legislature has its own ideas, rejecting the governor’s proposals on education and health care and calling for more tenant protections, climate measures and an expansion of free bus service in all five boroughs.

Ms. Hochul said that negotiations with leaders in the Legislature had been respectful and productive.

“We are not finished yet,” she said on Thursday, adding: “But I also think there’s a lot of good progress made. Everybody’s rolling up their sleeves ready to work.”

Here’s where things stand:

Legislature triumphs on education, for now

A proposal to change the way that school aid is calculated is off the table for the time being, Ms. Hochul confirmed on Thursday.

The proposal had been part of the governor’s push to modernize the state’s education funding formula, which relies on enrollment figures that are more than a decade old.

Legislature leaders acknowledged that the formula was out of date, but rejected the governor’s proposal, which would have caused half of New York’s school districts to lose funds in an election year.

Even so, Ms. Hochul vowed to put a new process in place by next year’s budget.

“I’m giving everybody the notice, the warning that they all ask for,” she told reporters on Thursday. “There will be a different formula. And I’m just deciding with the leaders how that mechanism will work.”

Lawmakers have also refused to include an extension of mayoral control of New York City schools in the state budget, opting to push the matter into the second half of the legislative session.

Cracking down on shoplifting and illegal cannabis

Every year since taking office, Ms. Hochul has sparred with the Legislature over criminal justice, and this year is no exception.

In her executive budget, the governor proposed increasing criminal penalties for attacks on retail workers, part of a broad strategy aimed at addressing what she called an upward trend of organized retail theft that had been particularly conspicuous in New York City.

Democrat lawmakers have been largely skeptical of increasing penalties, questioning whether such measures are an effective deterrent.

“The question should not be, ‘Are you going to raise penalties because you wanted to deter crime?’” Assembly Speaker Carl E. Heastie told reporters on Tuesday. “The question should be, ‘Do you want to raise penalties because you want people in jail longer?’”

More popular is a proposal that would give localities more power to crack down on the proliferation of unlicensed cannabis vendors , which many worry will continue to undermine the nascent legal market.

Last month, Ms. Hochul ordered a review of the state’s cannabis regulator , which oversaw a sluggish legalization and licensing process.

A long-awaited deal on housing

Last year, Ms. Hochul proposed an ambitious plan to tackle affordable housing, only to have the clock run out after lawmakers failed to come to an agreement that would satisfy developers, tenants, labor and localities.

State leaders are trying again this year, working toward a deal they hope will spur construction of thousands of new housing units over the next decade , while still protecting existing tenants.

Such a measure is likely to include some type of affordable housing tax credit and an expansion of tenant protections in line with the legislation known as “good cause.” That bill, which would protect tenants from unreasonable rent increases and require landlords to offer lease renewals, has been fiercely opposed by landlords.

And while progress has been made on a deal, questions remain about who would be subject to the protections, and whether localities can opt out of regulations, among other things.

Even so, the governor said, a deal was close: “We’re in the homestretch,” she said on Thursday.

Cameras in courtrooms, and Cuomo’s legal bills

The Senate wants to allow audiovisual equipment in New York courtrooms, paving the way for journalists to record and even broadcast trials directly to the public.

Under the proposal, a judge could decide on a case-by-case basis where and when to allow the media to observe legal proceedings. Under current law, recording is never allowed, even if a judge believes it is in the public interest.

The measure could theoretically be in place for the criminal trial of former President Donald J. Trump, who is charged with having sent hush money to a porn star during his 2016 presidential run. That trial is scheduled to begin April 15.

New York is one of just two states to summarily restrict audiovisual equipment in courtrooms, according to Brad Hoylman-Sigal, the Judiciary Committee chairman and the sponsor of the bill.

The Senate is also behind a push to restrict elected officials from having their legal bills reimbursed by taxpayers.

The measure poses a not-so-subtle threat to former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who has been embroiled in litigation over sexual harassment claims, his handling of nursing homes during the Covid-19 pandemic, and efforts to seize the proceeds from a $5 million book deal.

Mr. Cuomo, who has denied any wrongdoing and fought back in the courts, has accumulated millions of dollars’ worth of legal bills.

Thus far, the former governor has sought reimbursement for $1.75 million, but records show the total amount could be many times that figure.

It is not yet clear where the Assembly and the governor’s office stand on the proposal.

Other issues on the table

With so many major items still unresolved, lawmakers, activists and lobbyists sense openings to wedge some of their favored proposals into the budget.

Environmentalists believe this could be the year that New York adopts a transformative bill aimed at forcing the transition from gas to renewables, called the N.Y. Heat Act . The measure, which would repeal gas incentives and institute price caps to ensure affordability, has drawn fierce opposition from the fossil fuel industry, which says the bill will drive up costs for consumers.

Ms. Hochul embraced only a limited version of the proposal in her executive budget, but advocates are hoping to get her full support.

Lawmakers also want to spend $45 million to expand free bus service in New York City from one line per borough to three; the proposal has the support of nearly every member of New York’s congressional delegation.

Politics in the New York Region

A Housing Deal: The deal could clear the way for the construction of new homes and make it more difficult for landlords to evict renters , if lawmakers in Albany can find a compromise.

A Jail Project: The demolition of a Manhattan jail complex in Chinatown to make way for a bigger one has damaged a neighboring building  and raised concerns about years of dust and disruption.

Limiting Social Media’s Hold: New York’s governor and attorney general joined forces to pass a law  trying to restrict social media companies’ ability to use algorithms to shape content for children. Big Tech is putting up a battle with a high-stakes lobbying effort.

Targeting Trans Athletes: A proposed ban on transgender women playing on women’s sports teams  has turned a Long Island county into the latest battleground for conservatives who have put cultural issues at the center of a nationwide political strategy.

Illegal Donations: A Chinese business titan pleaded guilty to federal charges that he made more than $10,000 in straw donor contributions to political candidates  — including, a person familiar with the case said, to a New York congressman and Mayor Eric Adams.
