Agents seize marijuana on Menominee tribal land
    #22430446 - 10/25/15 03:41 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

Oct. 23, 2015

KESHENA, Wisconsin-
The seizure of 30,000 marijuana plants Friday on land belonging to the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin constituted a raid on an unlawful marijuana grow operation and not the destruction of an industrial hemp crop as the tribe asserts, a federal prosecutor said.

Gregory J. Haanstad, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin said the plants weighed several thousand pounds.

Federal agents descended upon County Road M west of Suring in Menominee County on Friday morning with front-end loaders to place the plants into county highway department trucks, WBAY-TV in Green Bay reported.

Agents worked at several locations while Menominee County sheriff's deputies stood guard in tactical gear with assault rifles, according to a post on the station's website.

Tribal Chairman Gary Besaw accused the authorities of "improperly and unnecessarily" destroying the tribe's hemp crop, the station reported.

Besaw said the tribe legalized growing "low THC, non-psychotropic" hemp under an agreement with the College of the Menominee Nation to cultivate and study industrial hemp.

He said that the production was in accordance with the 2014 Farm Bill, which allows growing industrial hemp in some circumstances, according to WBAY.

In August, the tribe approved referendum questions to legalize marijuana for recreational purposes and for medicinal purposes on its 360-acre reservation near Shawano.

Legalizing marijuana on reservations has become a hot topic since late last year when the U.S. Department of Justice released a memo discouraging federal authorities from prosecuting tribes for growing or selling pot on their reservations.

The raid is the first indication that federal authorities here are not open to the idea of tribes growing or selling marijuana on their reservations.

Since when are Native Americans subject to US Federal law?  I thought they were a sovereign nation of their own?  Something is not right here, ESPECIALLY if what they were cultivating was industrial hemp.

That's what i thought, but it wouldn't be the first time the feds fail to breach a contract or fail to uphold their duty.

Poor natives :sad

Actually, the Federal court houses side with the native americans 99% of the time. Its the states that are causing all these issues.

Thats a valid point, maybe the feds get dragged into it by the state departments' requests? :shrug:

It seems so wrong.

I was just watching Pot Cops and the states sometimes have nothing better to do. The seizures and waste of taxpayer money to take a few lbs off the streets is retarded.

30,000 plants tho?!? I think they were up to something besides growing hemp. I'm no one to judge but your asking to get fucked with, when you are that blatant and open. even if you think your within the law/right I still keep it lowkey no matter what.

Truth is, nobody knows why Marsellus threw Tony out of that fourth-story window except Marsellus and Tony. When you little scamps get together, you're worse than a sewing circle.

If it was hemp then there should not be an issue.



Many are cultivating for the purpose of CBD and also processing hemp into many different products.


Hemp does not equal Marijuana.
