We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who supported our very first toy drive. Seeing the community show up like this means more than we can put into words.

Every toy donated earned a raffle ticket, and all tickets were entered into a fair, weighted draw. Congratulations to our raffle winner, Christine S.

Thank you to Back Alley Boutique and Bud Bar for teaming up with us on this, and to everyone who helped make a difference for local kids this season. We’re proud to be part of a community that shows up.

🚨Reminder🚨

We’re about a week into our holiday toy drive with Back Alley Boutique and Bud Bar, and we’d love to keep the momentum going. If you’re able to bring a new toy for a local kid this season, it truly makes a difference.

And to make it a little more fun every toy you drop off gets you a raffle ticket toward a big grand prize from both dispensaries. Bring one toy, get one ticket. Bring a few, get a few.

Thank you to everyone who plans on helping out. It means more than you know, and it’s going to help some families who could really use it this year.

We’re excited to kick off our Holidays in High Spirits Toy Drive with Back Alley Boutique and Bud Bar in Tryon.

Both of our shops will be collecting new unwrapped toys for kids in our communities. Every toy you bring gets you a raffle ticket for our H**py Holidaze Basket. If you donate a toy valued at fifty dollars or more you get three tickets.

All toys will go to local charities including Outreach and Toy for Tots so everything stays right here helping local families.

If we can make this a strong toy drive you can expect some holiday specials from us as a thank you.

Drop offs are open now at Carolina Bud Dispensary in Rutherfordton and Back Alley Boutique and Bud Bar in Tryon.

Let’s spread some holiday joy this season.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I’m truly grateful for every single person who’s supported us this year. From the conversations, to the loyalty, to the way this community shows up for us, it means more than I can ever put into words.

This has been one of our best years yet, and it wouldn’t have happened without you. Thank you for choosing to shop local, thank you for trusting us, and thank you for being part of the Carolina Bud family.

Hope you all enjoy the day with the people you love. We appreciate you more than you know.

We’re partnering with Little Free Pantry: Rutherford County this holiday season to help restock their shelves and support families in our community. A donation box is now set up here at the shop for anyone who wants to drop off canned goods or non-perishables.

If you’re able to give, even a little bit goes a long way for local families who rely on this resource. We’ll be collecting items through the season and delivering everything directly to the pantry.

Thank you for always showing up for this community. Swing by anytime and help us make a real impact this year.

I want to give a huge thank you to The Daily Courier for covering the h**p ban and bringing awareness to our community. Everyone please support them, you can read this article online or check out tomorrows paper, it should be the front page article. I’ll post my interview and statements in the comments below for anyone who cant access the paper. Thank you to everyone in the community for your continued support. I can’t tell you how many people over the past week have come in and been so supportive of making sure we all stay in business. It means the world to me! 💚

When Congress passed the spending bill to end the government shutdown on Nov. 12, it contained a provision that redefined the landscape of h**p in America.

🚨 Important Update for Our Community

Last night, the bill to ban h**p was signed into law by President Trump. This decision affects every shop in our industry, including ours, and it puts the future of h**p in the state on a strict timeline.

Nothing changes today but we need to be honest: if this ban isn’t overturned within the next year, the entire h**p market in the whole country mcould disappear.

I want our customers to be informed and prepared. Over the next few weeks, I’ll share updates, clear breakdowns of what this means, and ways you can stay ahead of these changes.

For now, just stay aware, stay involved, and make sure you’re prepared in case the industry you rely on doesn’t exist a year from now. Your support and attention matter more than ever.

Follow US H**p round table if you are interested in trying to help, they are going to be starting a campaign to encourage Congress and the federal government to regulate this industry instead of ban it.

We’re not just going down without a fight and I love and appreciate each and every one of you 💚

We had to close today due to a family emergency. We truly appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding, family always comes first.

If you stopped by today, come see us tomorrow we’ve got a little thank you treat waiting for you. 💚

We’ll be back open tomorrow and ready to serve you. Thanks for always supporting our small, family run business.
