Longtime anti-cannabis crusader and pernicious pug Pat Powers has waddled onto the herb bandwagon as his benefactor Dan Lederman finds some success with Dakota Health and Wellness in North Sioux City. But Powers is at odds with some of his fellow catholics on legalization because giving the South Dakota Republican Party the opportunity to shape cannabis law in my home state is certainly a scary proposition.
US States are often the biggest obstacles to cannabis success in Indian Country but Washington and Nevada are the best for cooperating with tribal communities planting the seeds of cannabis economic development. As of May, 2024 forty seven Native cannabis retailers are operating fifty seven stores in nine states for a gain of some thirty percent since January, 2023.
The former Executive Director of Catholic Social Services in the Diocese of Rapid City for over 30 years, Jim Kinyon is all over Faceberg spreading fear and loathing of Initiated Measure 29 that if passed would dilute Indigenous cannabis distribution. So it's very brave, even progressive of the Western South Dakota Catholic Foundation and Family Voice - Family Heritage Alliance as they work to give tribes solitary distribution in South Dakota's budding cannabis industry. Kinyon is in cahoots with flaming nutball, Fred Deutsch.
Nations in Minnesota and New York lead retail growth in those states but in California and Michigan the industry is reaching full flower very quickly, too. In Minnesota, the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe is constructing a 50,000-square-foot cultivation facility that will dwarf any state-licensed operations which are capped at 30,000 square feet. North Carolina and New Mexico lead in the sheer size of retail stores while the NuWu Cannabis Marketplace in Nevada, owned by the Las Vegas Paiute Tribe, is one the largest cannabis retail outlets in the world.
Nineteen tribes have built dispensaries near casinos including in South Dakota where the state’s Republican governor and catholic attorney general are confirmed racists.
ACLU South Dakota is touting IM 29 as a mechanism to help fix prison overcrowding.
