PIERRE, S.D. โ An American Indian tribe in South Dakota said police are arresting people who buy medical marijuana at the tribeโs dispensary.
The Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe operates the only medical marijuana dispensary in the state. Tribal officials say more than 100 people who have been issued tribal medical marijuana identification cards have been arrested since the store opened in July.
The State Department of Public Safety and the attorney generalโs office have taken the position that the cards arenโt valid for people who arenโt tribal members. Flandreau Police Chief Zach Weber said his department is following that directive and arresting people with cards if theyโre not tribal members.
