Christianic white supremacist Ismay would give tribal communities cannabis exclusivity in South Dakota

In 2018 after being frustrated with the inability of activists and advocates to herd the booze-soaked, ecocidal South Dakota Legislature and the Republican Party apparatchiks in Pierre into the corral of cannabis common sense an interested party reached out to Matt Kinney, a Spearditch-based attorney who specializes in the defense of clients caught up in the morass of cannabis law in my home state. In 2015 he represented former Butte County State's Attorney Heather Plunkett after she was railroaded into dismissal by then and now again Attorney General Marty Jackley. 

Today, Kinney is a registered agent of Center of the Nation Cultivation, LLC in Belle Fourche. 

But, with short fat white Travis Ismay stalking county commissioners and patrolling Butte County for aliens it’s a wonder whether Belle Fourche can protect its own residents.

Attorney General Marty Jackley released a ballot explanation for a proposed measure that would repeal South Dakota’s medical marijuana program. The measure is proposed by Travis Ismay of Newell. It would make all possession, use, cultivation, sale and manufacturing of marijuana products a crime. Supporters of the proposal [need] 17,509 signatures to get it on the 2024 ballot.

Tribal sovereignty binds the hands of states competing for federal resources. Under the 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act the Tohono O’odham Nation won its lawsuit with the State of Arizona and in 2017 it opened a casino in Glendale outside its established boundaries. So, in May of 2021 Native Nations Cannabis and the Isanti Dakota Oyate bought a parcel in the heart of the commercial district in Sioux Falls then purchased a long-vacant building in Mitchell.

Just recently on July 4th, Main Street Cannabis in Pine Ridge, South Dakota celebrated their one-year anniversary being open. Originally the dispensary was opened up as Star Buds and offered CBD products but was later renamed to Main Street Cannabis. [Lakota Times]

If Ismay’s crusade succeeds Matt Kinney and his associates could simply enter a compact with a tribal entity and continue doing business right where they are.

Our last campaign stop was a Meet and Greet held last night at the Vale Community Center with hosts Travis and Dusta Ismay. Meeting local candidates is always good to hear the issues affecting a community. pic.twitter.com/mPCWht4CZO
