Central Minnesota, The Wait Is Over

For decades, Highway 10 has been a commercial artery connecting the twin cities of the north, but today, 2902 US-10 stands for something new. Situated in the renovated shell of the former JL Beers building, Waabigwan Mashkiki Moorhead is more than just a retail store; it is the first sovereign, adult-use cannabis dispensary to open its doors within striking distance of the North Dakota border.

We know why you are here. You are looking for high-quality, legal cannabis without the hassle of a medical card or the uncertainty of the illicit market. Whether you are crossing the Veterans Memorial Bridge from downtown Fargo or driving in from Dilworth, our mission is simple: to provide a safe, regulated, and premium cannabis experience just minutes from the state line.

This isn’t a head shop selling hemp derivatives. This is a fully licensed, tribally-regulated dispensary offering high-potency Delta-9 THC flower, concentrates, and edibles. We are the “Green Gateway” for the Red River Valley, and we are open seven days a week to serve you.

Why Drive to Waabigwan Moorhead?

In a market that is rapidly expanding, discerning smokers choose Waabigwan Mashkiki for three distinct reasons: Sovereignty, Science, and Selection.

1. The “Native Grown” Advantage

While other dispensaries are waiting on the slow-moving gears of state bureaucracy to spin up their supply chains, we are vertically integrated. Every gram of flower on our shelves was cultivated at our $10 million state-of-the-art facility in Mahnomen.

• No Middlemen: We control the genetics, the grow, the cure, and the sale. This “seed-to-sale” tracking ensures that the Blu Waabooz or Gary Payton you buy today hits with the same consistency as the batch you bought last month.
• Freshness: Because we don’t rely on third-party wholesalers trucking biomass across the state, our inventory turnover is rapid. You aren’t buying flower that sat in a warehouse for six months; you are buying product that was cured, trimmed, and shipped directly to Moorhead.

2. The Border Convenience

Let’s be honest about the geography. If you live in Fargo, West Fargo, or Horace, the drive to Mahnomen is a haul. Our Moorhead location brings the sovereign cannabis experience to your doorstep.

• 5 Minutes from Downtown Fargo: We are literally minutes away from the border.
• Easy Access off US-10: Located on one of the busiest corridors in Clay County, our location is designed for easy in-and-out access, though we recommend pre-ordering during peak weekend hours to beat the rush.

3. A Menu for Every Tolerance Level

We don’t just cater to the heavy hitters. Our “House of Brands” strategy ensures we have something for the weekend warrior and the daily medicinal user alike.

• For the Connoisseur: Our Native Cuts line features high-terpene strains and exotic genetics like Garlotti (74% THC vapes) and Mac-1.
• For the Social User: Grab a pack of Minobii Grapefruit Limeade gummies for a buzz that complements a concert at The Bluestem rather than overpowering it.
• For the Value Shopper: Our Zips brand offers ounce-sized bags of popcorn buds and mixed trim, perfect for those stocking up on a budget.

Menu Highlights: What’s in Stock in Moorhead?

Our inventory rotates based on our harvest cycles in Mahnomen, but you can generally expect these staples on our Moorhead shelves.

The Flower Bar

We classify our flower not just by Sativa or Indica, but by the experience it delivers.

• Lemon OG Haze (Sativa-Dominant): Clocking in at around 24.1% THC, this is our go-to recommendation for daytime use. It’s zesty, energetic, and perfect for outdoor activities along the Red River.
• Butters (Hybrid): A balanced strain sitting at ~16-17% THC. It offers a “buttery” smooth smoke that relaxes the body without shutting down the mind.
• Purple Alien Breath (Indica-Dominant): When you need to shut the world out. Deep purple hues and a heavy body load make this a favorite for evening relaxation.

Edibles & Concentrates

• Souree Gummies: Available in Blue Raspberry, Pomegranate, and Watermelon. These are dosed precisely to state standards (typically 10mg per serving/100mg per package for adult-use limits) to ensure a predictable experience.
• Vape Cartridges: We stock 0.5g and 1g cartridges compatible with standard 510-thread batteries. Our Native Cuts carts are 100% cannabis-derived terpenes—no botanical fillers.

Important Information for Our North Dakota Neighbors

We welcome our neighbors from Fargo, Grand Forks, and beyond. However, operating a dispensary on the border creates a unique legal landscape that we must navigate responsibly.

The “Safe Harbor” Reality

Once you cross the Red River into Minnesota, you are in a jurisdiction where adult-use cannabis is legal for those 21+. You can purchase and consume cannabis within Minnesota borders in accordance with state laws.

• Possession Limits: You may purchase up to 2 ounces of flower, 8 grams of concentrate, and 800mg of edibles per transaction.
• Consumption: Consumption is legal on private property and in designated areas. It is illegal to consume cannabis in a motor vehicle or in public places where smoking is prohibited (like public parks or near school grounds).

The Federal & State Line Warning

We are required to inform you that transporting cannabis across state lines remains a violation of federal law and North Dakota state law. North Dakota has strict prohibition laws. Waabigwan Mashkiki assumes no liability for what occurs once you leave our premises. We strongly encourage all our customers to consume their products responsibly within the state of Minnesota. Think of Moorhead not just as a store, but as your destination for consumption.

Know Before You Go: The Moorhead Experience

We want your visit to be smooth, safe, and legal. Here is what you need to know before you pull into the parking lot at 2902 US-10.

1. ID Checkpoints

Security is tight, and for good reason. We operate under a strict compact with the State of Minnesota.

• The “Double Check”: Expect to have your ID checked by security upon entering the building and again by your budtender at the point of sale.
• Valid ID Only: We cannot accept expired licenses, paper temporary IDs without a photo, or student IDs. It must be a valid, government-issued photo ID proving you are 21+.

2. Payment Options

Banking in the cannabis industry is still catching up to the laws.

• Cash: The fastest way to pay. We have ATMs on-site, but they come with standard transaction fees.
• Debit Cards: We accept debit cards using a “cashless ATM” system. This means your transaction will be rounded up to the nearest $5 or $10, and you will receive the change in cash. There is typically a ~$3.50 fee for this service.
• No Credit Cards: We cannot process Visa, Mastercard, or Amex directly.

3. The Queue

Since we are the primary recreational option for the entire metro area, weekends (especially Friday afternoons and Saturdays) can see lines.

• Skip the Line: Use our Online Pre-Order system. Browse the live menu, reserve your items, and head to the express pickup window. This guarantees your product is reserved and drastically cuts your wait time.

Local Flavor: Making a Day of It

You’re already in Moorhead—why not make it a trip? Our dispensary is centrally located near some of Clay County’s best spots.

• The Food Scene: After your visit, grab a burger at the distinctly different locations nearby (since we occupy the old JL Beers spot, you’ll have to find the active ones!). Or head over to Junkyard Brewing Company on 1st Ave N for some of the best craft beer in the Midwest (remember: cross-fading requires responsibility; designate a driver).
• Nature: Take a walk at Viking Ship Park or the trails along the Red River. Minnesota’s natural beauty is the perfect setting for a “Minobii” gummy experience—just respect the public use laws and keep it discreet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is there a purchase limit for out-of-state residents?

A: No, the limit is the same for everyone. Whether you have a Minnesota ID or a North Dakota ID, you can purchase up to 2 ounces of flower per day.

Q: Why are the taxes higher here than in Mahnomen?

A: This is part of our compact with the State of Minnesota. To operate off-reservation in Moorhead, we must collect the 10% Cannabis Gross Receipts Tax (rising to 15% in July 2025) plus the 6.875% State Sales Tax and any local Clay County taxes. In Mahnomen, we operate solely under tribal tax law. You are paying for the convenience of not driving 45 miles north.

Q: Can I open the package in the car?

A: Absolutely not. Minnesota has an “Open Package” law similar to open container laws for alcohol. It is illegal to have an open cannabis container in a motor vehicle. Keep it sealed in the exit bag until you reach your private destination.

Q: Do you sell medical cannabis tax-free?

A: Waabigwan Mashkiki in Moorhead is an Adult-Use dispensary. We do not currently process Minnesota Medical Cannabis Program cards for tax exemptions at this specific location. All sales are subject to the standard recreational tax rates.
