Oh Boy! High Times in South Dakota as Sioux Tribe Opens Nation’s First Marijuana Resort: Just 10 months after the U.S. Justice Department gave Native American tribes the authority to legalize marijuana on reservations, the Santee Sioux tribe in southeastern South Dakota plans to open a marijuana resort in Flandreau, S.D.—a remote location about six miles east of the border with Minnesota. The small tribe—it has a population of 400—already operates a casino small hotel and buffalo ranch in the area.
According to an AP article, Santee Sioux leaders sell their own pot in a smoking lounge that includes a nightclub, arcade games, bar and food service, and eventually, slot machines and an outdoor music venue. There are still some questions to be resolved. That is, will visitors have to register in order to buy or smoke marijuana and how much will those who live on the reservation be allowed to possess or transport. There is already a large marijuana growing area on the reservation.
