Forget Casinos, Native Americans Are Opening the Nation's First Cannabis Resort

• True Activist

Earlier this year, the Department Of Justice issued a statement saying they would no longer prosecute Native American tribes for the possession and sale of cannabis. However, as we reported last week, some tribes are still being raided for attempting to venture into the cannabis industry.

"We want it to be an adult playground. There's nowhere else in America that has something like this," Santee Sioux tribe tribal President Anthony Reider told reporters.

Reider said that the tribe must "look at these opportunities because in order to preserve the past we do have to advance in the present."

Sadly, tribes that want to set up operations like this will be forced to adhere to strict guidelines or risk their entire businesses, or even face fines or imprisonment. Under the guidelines set by the government, the cannabis will not be allowed to leave the reservation and it can only be sold in one gram packages, one at a time. If someone wants another gram, they will have to return the bar code from their first gram in order to get a new one.
