The United States Department of Justice announced Thursday that Indian tribes across the country can now grow and sell marijuana on their sovereign lands as long as the adhere to the same federal guidelines in place in the four states where the drug has been legalized for recreational use.
Specifically, tribes may not sell marijuana to minors, nor will they be allowed to transport the drug to parts of the country where it is illegal. That said, the DOJ's move effectively legalizes marijuana in portions of states where the drug remains otherwise outlawed.
