American Indian tribes are looking to become the beneficiaries of the “green gold rush” as the legalization of marijuana spreads from state to state.
With four states and Washington DC already allowing the recreational use of pot, and more expected to follow, cannabis cultivation is on the cusp of becoming very big business, especially with another 23 states already allowing pot to be used for medicinal purposes.
This is very good news for American Indians with as many as 200 tribes understood to be considering growing cannabis on their land.
They are able to do this because of tribal land’s unique legal status, which has enabled them to cash in on the lucrative casino business for over two decades.
Now it is marijuana which is seen as a way of generating jobs on reservations and generating money for tribal administrations.
The taxes on what is certain to be a lucrative cash crop will be used to support social services on tribal land such as schools, health clinics and old people’s homes.

No one wants out door grown . The better stuff is indoor. This will crush the cartels and their Mexican dirt.
ReplyDelete12:38 your an idiot... this will do nothing of the sort... Our govt gives money and guns to the cartels and you think they wouldn't go in a bust these tribal lands for growing weed? Damn right they will...
ReplyDeleteThey do it to people who in their own state is legal to have and grow and 905 of the time the cops were wrong or in the wrong place...
The cartel and our govt are in bed together plain and simple...
Karma! Reminds me of how we got the American Indians hooked on firewater!
ReplyDeleteYou are an idiot. There are numerous states that have already legalized it and the feds have done nothing. This has taken a bite out of the cartes profits as who wants the seedy crap stuff when you can buy the high end made in America. Go rip a bong hit and chill.
ReplyDeleteI grind it up really fine and put it in a parsely shaker.Never any leftovers around my house & never a lack of conversation.
ReplyDeleteMan, I want to come over to your place for some pizza.
ReplyDeleteOutdoor growing can yield a great product - it's all in what you add to the dirt.
ReplyDelete12:38, we already are crushing the cartels on Marijuana. They have started smuggling Colorado weed back across the border into Mexico because their clients with money don't want the garbage that is often grown there.
ReplyDeleteGillis Gilkerson should donate some land to them so they can grow for the bury.
