Minnesota signs cannabis agreement with third tribal nation
According to reporting by MPR News, Minnesota officials have signed a cannabis agreement with a third tribal nation, expanding partnerships that allow tribal governments to regulate and sell marijuana on their lands. The agreement with Prairie Island Indian Community is part of the state’s effort to coordinate with tribes as Minnesota’s recreational cannabis market continues to develop.
Under similar compacts, tribal nations operate dispensaries and oversee their own cannabis regulations, with revenues supporting health care, education and community programs. The state has previously reached agreements with the Red Lake Nation and the White Earth Nation.
