" flandreau, s.d. - with less than two months till the country's first marijuana smoking lounge was scheduled to open its doors, the flandreau santee sioux tribe has scrapped the plan. tribal attorney seth pearman says the tribe has suspended its plan and ordered their police force to burn all of the marijuana they were growing, which was worth millions of dollars. from the moody county sheriff to the south dakota's attorney general, many people have voiced their concerns about the tribe legalizing marijuana on the reservation.

"the federal government

creating complex tribal laws and then making determinations if it is or isn't going to enforce certain laws which has really created the problem. so i never blamed this on tribal authorities or the tribal jurisdiction. this whole problem rests in the hands of the federal government," jackley said. tribal executive kenny weston commented on ksfy's facebook saying the suspension will last 30 days at the most, but some are hoping for it to be longer.
