Appalachian Dispensary also brings a wealth of experience beyond these mountains. The founder of the company spent 10 years on the west coast learning from master growers, way before cannabis was legal anywhere else. This Cali experience came back home, bringing back a passion for perfection and the highest standards for all products and processes.

This high standard carries on to our store shelves today. And now you can get the same goodness delivered to your door (where legal)! 

Everything we carry is tested and trusted, created by responsible vendors who have the same passion for perfection. We stand behind everything we sell whether it's dry herb, dabs, edibles and all other canna, kratom and mushroom goodness.

We love sharing our knowledge with customers too. From seed to shelf, Appalachian CBD brings expertise others online can't touch. And since there is so much wrong information out there when it comes to Farm Bill-compliant herb, there's a lot to share.

You can count on us for quality, transparency, consistency and truthfulness. We love cannabis products and want to share why, so check out our blogs and sign up for our upcoming newsletter! Also, watch our social feeds for info about upcoming events like our VLOG where we meet with the biggest folks in the industry.

Asheville itself, which Appalachian Dispensary overlooks from the top of Reynolds Mountain, is known for its healing energy. This has been true since before the Vanderbilt family laid claim to this land. This area was a central trading area among native Indians and, eventually, white settlers.

So Appalachian Dispensary represents the craft cannabis scene in Western North Carolina (WNC) first and foremost, bringing the best cannabis online to a national audience.

We want all our customers to have great information, products and service, as this is our reputation at home in the Smokies. So, our e-commerce empire will bring you powerful goods, many of them benefitting local craft growers and manufacturers of tested and trusted goods, sent from the Smokies to your door.

We bring locally produced edibles, flower, pre rolls, concentrates, topicals, tinctures and vapes to a nationwide audience! If your state allows delta products, you can have the finest THCa and Delta-9 goods shipped right to your door, legally. We also offer legal magic mushrooms and other premium dispensary items you can't find anywhere else.

The Smoky Mountains are a very special place. The beauty of the land goes beyond what we can see too. Many in the area claim there are vortex energies are at work in these ancient mountains, enhancing all living things, especially plants. It's like all living things here, including cannabis, know they are growing in Appalachia and work together for biodiversity, making this area a very green place indeed.

We ship only where legal and try to be as up-to-date as possible on legality issues all across the United States, but this is an ever-changing and on-going world because it is must conform to Federal, State, County and even City regulations.

Laws change, so it's on the consumer to check on the legality of the products in question in their area, as well as ours. 

Suffice it to say, there is no difference between 'hemp' and 'marijuana,' 'medical marijuana,' (MMJ), 'cannabis,' 'recreational cannabis,' 'adult use' or any other name opponents to legal weed give their programs. It's all the same plant, cannabis sativa L, grown and processed the exact same way, right down to creating classic sativa strains like the fan favorites Blue Dream and Northern Lights.

Cannabis sativa L and all its isomers (synthetically created cannabinoids like delta-8, HHC and THCP) are Federally legal RIGHT NOW, as of 2025 and have been since President Trump signed them into law in 2018, more than seven years ago as of this writing. Arguments that there's no oversight and poor or dangerous product remain unsubstantiated, so they fall flat from a health & safety perspective. And, at Appalachian CBD all of our products are tested and trusted from reliable manufacturers using sustainable and responsible practices.

Cannabis has proven itself an inherently safe substance, unlike doctor-prescribed opioids and amphetamines, and we are proud to support responsible, compliant and legal WNC agribusiness, and for very good reasons. Because, even though it's easy to work with cannabis, it is true that quality can vary quite a bit across the spectrum of dingy head shops, gas station, vape and smoke shops selling the cheapest goods, to the experience you get at a proper dispensary like ours.

We believe in the freedom to choose natural options for personal health issues like chronic pain and inflammation as well as countless other personal issues.

But, our customers are always hold us in their confidence, for a good reason! Appalachian CBD treats people right with exceptional experiences, including privacy! We will never share your private information with others! We just want to share our unique and special culture with you.

In the mountains of Western North Carolina, farmland can be hard to come by, so most are in the flattest parts you can find, usually in the valley of two or more mountains where water is also more accessible. Our founder is a native of these parts and knows absolutely the best people in the industry. Now he wants Appalachian CBD top represent craft cannabis grows and manufacturers in the area, to the world, as much as possible.
