Standing Rock Chairman Dave Archambault II said that tribe
might consider marijuana's cousin, hemp, but the federal government
would have to allow interstate transport for it to be a profitable
venture. Hemp is used to make a variety of products, including ropes,
clothing and lotion.
"We've always thought we had the
sovereign right" to grow marijuana, Archambault said. "But once you try
to transport it interstate, federal law discourages it. If it makes
sense economically, then it might be something tribes would consider."
