Tennesse hasn’t gotten on the legalization bandwagon yet, per NORML. https://norml.org/laws/tennessee-penalties-2/#:~:text=2015)%20Web%20Search-,Possession,a%20%24500%20mandatory%20minimum%20fine. Except, I was in Gatlinburg yesterday and I walked past (and went into) a shop that said “Smoky Mountain Dispensary” (or something like that) and had jars of flower for sale, a menu on the board listing the THC content of Purple Nurple This and Nepalese Kush that. I asked the guy behind the counter how they could sell it in Tennessee, and he mentioned something about loopholes and decarbing and swore up and down that whatever I bought from him would give me the same high as what I bought in Missouri (legally).
I didn’t take him up on it because reasons (mainly not wanting to get caught with it in Kentucky on the way home), so I don’t know if he’s telling the truth.
Is there a quasi-legal weed market in Tennessee where the rules are (apparently) so poorly-written that you can legally sell flower from a shop (on a busy pedestrian street in a tourist town, no less)?
