In 2020, the people of the Oglala Sioux Tribe voted to legalize both adult-use and medical cannabis. Now, two years later, the town of Pine Ridge, with its population of just around 3,000 people, hosts adult-use cannabis dispensaries and cultivation sites.
No Worries has around 2,000 square feet of cultivation space, according to manager Ty Eagle Bull, and they are actively expanding as well. “Things have been real busy,” he said. “People are constantly coming through the door, and with us making public news and everything, especially from off-reservation, a lot of people have been coming.”
Within their existing cultivation space, Eagle Bull says they are growing around 40 strains. “We’re sticking to our 40,” he said when asked if they are looking to grow more strains. “Our big names are the Lilac Miso, Granddaddy Purp, and our Gastro-Pop. A lot of people are coming in after those big names.”
Currently, No Worries is growing with a mix of soil crops and hydroponics, though Saltes said they are working toward moving to a fully hydroponic setup, which he hopes will help with scaling up production.
