If this question is not historical enough, sorry about that, unsure how the 20-year rule applies in regards to a thread like this. u/Snapshot52 briefly mentioned that, amongst other industries, natives in Washington are getting into the production of marijuana. This made me wonder, both historically and today, if the sovereignty of the Tribes has enabled them to differ from the federal government on drug policy, or if they have had to follow along with the federal government.
