Native American tribes from around the country are convening Friday in Washington state to discuss the "risks and rewards of marijuana legalization," according to a report on CTPost.com.
Many tribes have been considering moving forward into marijuana cultivation and sale following the U.S. Justice Department's announcement in late 2015 that it would allow marijuana crops and sales on federally recognized reservations, as long as they adhere to specific guidelines–which, as CTPost.com report, are the "same law enforcement priorities laid out for states that legalize the drug."
According to FoxBarry Farms, a management firm building the nation’s first marijuana facility on tribal land, more than 100 Native American tribes have reached out to the company, expressing an interest in in the marijuana industry.
