Fingon Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 http://www.cbsnews.com/news/nations-first-marijuana-resort-to-open-in-south-dakota-owned-by-santee-sioux/ FLANDREAU, S.D. -- The Santee Sioux tribe has already proven its business acumen, running a successful casino, a 120-room hotel and a 240-head buffalo ranch on the plains of South Dakota. But those enterprises have not been immune to competition and the lingering effects of the Great Recession, so the small tribe of 400 is undertaking a new venture - opening the nation's first marijuana resort on its reservation. The experiment could offer a new money-making model for tribes nationwide seeking economic opportunities beyond casinos. Santee Sioux leaders plan to grow their own pot and sell it in a smoking lounge that includes a nightclub, arcade games, bar and food service, and eventually, slot machines and an outdoor music venue. In case anyone is wondering, the Feds gave Indian tribes the OK to legalize/commercialize marijuana on their reservations. States can't enforce drug laws on reservations, so even though marijuana is illegal in South Dakota the Sioux are within their rights to do this. If this goes well you can bet your ass that other tribes like the Seneca will follow suit.
