The United States Justice Department just announced that it will instruct all U.S. attorneys to no longer prevent any Native American tribes from growing, or selling marijuana on reservation land.
This includes reservations within states that prohibit marijuana use, as the reservations are sovereign entities, apart from the states that surround them.

“Finally, Native Americans are really beginning to experience true sovereignty,” Dan Skye, the editor-in-chief of High Times said, weighing in on this decision by the U.S. government: “Cannabis – whether it’s industrial hemp, medical or recreational marijuana – can provide employment and economic stimulus on Indian reservations which is so desperately needed.”
