The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians began selling marijuana and cannabis products to any adult 21 or over starting Saturday at its tribe-owned dispensary in North Carolina .

The outlet already started July 4 to sell in-store or drive-thru products for recreational use to adults enrolled in the tribe or any other federally recognized tribe.

Marijuana possession or use of the drug is otherwise illegal in the state, but the tribe can pass rules related to cannabis as a sovereign nation.
