Can I Use a Medical Marijuana Card from Another State in North Carolina?
Yes, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) permits individuals with valid medical marijuana cards from other states to purchase medical cannabis on EBCI tribal lands in North Carolina. This reciprocity allows out-of-state medical cannabis patients to access EBCI's medical cannabis dispensaries.
However, note that this allowance is specific to EBCI tribal lands (the Qualla Boundary and the Tribe’s other trust lands). Outside these areas, North Carolina state law does not recognize medical marijuana cards, and cannabis possession remains illegal.
