THREE OAKS — The second adult-use marijuana dispensary in Three Oaks, 3 Smokes Cannabis, recently opened at 7200 West U.S. 12.
The soft opening for the 3 Smokes Cannabis dispensary was Nov. 18 (a grand opening is being paned for later in 2026). According to 3 Smokes Facebook page, the dispensary is “A welcoming recreational cannabis dispensary serving Three Oaks, New Buffalo, & surrounding areas. We offer quality flower, vapes, edibles, concentrates, and accessories with friendly guidance, fair pricing, and a smooth in store experience.”
Joe Wall and Steve Turk, members of the LLC that owns the dispensary and a nearby processing facility, said the site was initially was licensed for an indoor grow facility and the processing space (Three Oaks doesn’t currently allow outdoor grows).
“We opened the processing, we passed on the grow, and so we make finished products and wholesale products that we sell to other places too.” Wall said.
The offerings at 3 Smokes include about 20 percent locally processed items (including their Northern Pure and 3 Smokes lines).
“We make infused pre-rolls, pre-rolls, gummies, vape carts, and we have a lot of other products that are in the pipeline that we’re going to be putting out in the store,” Wall said.
Among the specialities featured at 3 Smokes is Ryba’s Roots Mackinac Island Fudge. Other brands offered include: Made By a Farmer, Lit Labs, Jungle Juice, Craft Hydroponics, Dr. JC’s Exotics, Highly Casual, Big Pete’s, and Grab Labs. There also are drinks, cookies, rosins and resins. Bundle deals are offered.
“We’re cognizant of New Buffalo. It’s a big, very competitive market, so we make sure we’re competitive pricing,”Wall said. “We’re trying to get some items that they don’t carry in the other markets, so that we can kind of differentiate ourselves that way. We’re building towards that.”
3 Smokes is open seven days a week, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. The website is: https://shop.3smokes.com/menu/
