Well, tribal law supersedes state law---South Dakota doesn't even have medical marijuana laws!

Since this is essentially their own nation, I think they can do what they want there. Hopefully the income will go to the tribal members and not some cartel in Mexico.

Smart move on their part. Maybe more tribes could do that. Maybe include some spiritual resorts as well. Maybe teach us more about their culture.

Colorado opened one in July .

Good for this tribe though, the green rush is sure to continue to make a lot of forward thinking people a lot of money.

Scalping the White Man used to involve axes, knives, and blood.

Now all it take is booze, dope, and slot machines.

Wonder if the DEA will go for this? The state of SDAK may not like it either.

Very creative. Why else go to South Dakota?

They are definitely having the last laugh--all the way to the bank. They've beat the white man at his own game and more power to them.

Wonder how long states will watch these lucrative enterprises before the idea of a balanced budget overcomes the fear of Reefer Madness.
