Florida tribes are reviewing new US policy on marijuana

[Tudo]

MIAMI (AP) - It's unclear what effect a new U.S. Justice Department policy regarding marijuana and Indian tribes will have in Florida.
The government announced this week that Indian tribes can grow and sell marijuana on their lands so long as they follow the same federal conditions laid out for states that have legalized the drug.
The announcement is "not on the Seminole Tribe's radar," tribe spokesman Gary Bitner tells The Miami Herald. Miccosukee Tribe spokesman says the policy is being reviewed, but he declined further comment.
A spokesman for Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi says she's also reviewing the announcement.
Some advocates say the Justice Department's announcement could give rise to a rich new business on reservations, not unlike the advent of casino gambling. However, many tribes oppose legalization.

no, the tribes just have to follow the same fed rules for states that passed legislation. the tribes & their reservations are "mini-states" under federal law. Florida need do nothing for the Seminoles to grow weed legally under fed rules. Pam can squat on a stump for all that they care...

Thanks. I guess I'M the one with the reading comprehension problem. DOH! Maybe that means I would be a good Florida politician...God no... anything but that...the horror I bet Pam likes squatting over wood best though, that would mean she was always the one on top. Thats how she got that stick up her ass too I imagine.

well seeing how Amendment 2 failed and our lawmakers fucked up sb1030 w/the lottery aspect of issuing a license many needy patients are left waiting for them to get things right.

maybe the Miccosukee Tribe can start cultivating the much needed medicine sooner than later.


peace

I took it to mean the way the federal government laid it out to Colorado. That is - Do not allow weed to go across borders to other states, not selling to anyone under twenty-one, no marijuana dispensaries within a thousand feet of a school, No diversions into the black market. The feds had a list of zero tolerance conditions.
