Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate harvesting industrial cannabis crop


It's very brave, even progressive, of Governor Kristi Noem to veto the widespread cultivation of industrial cannabis (hemp) and empower the tribal nations trapped in South Dakota to be the sole leaders of cannabis industry growth in my home state.

US tribes are considered the 51st State by federal agencies including the Department of the Interior.

The road to legal cannabis for all adults in South Dakota is paved with hemp and tribal nations should be the primary beneficiaries of industry growth there.
