"Governor suggests tribes as potential solution for marijuana sales gap"

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has suggested that Indian tribes in the state could start selling marijuana for the adult-use market before private businesses are approved by regulators. While it is expected to take more than a year for the state's Office of Cannabis Management to start licensing conventional cannabis shops under the legalization law he signed last week, Walz said that Indian tribes in the state could begin operating sooner. The now-enacted legislation allows the governor or a designee to negotiate compacts with tribes that wish to work with the state on coordinating marijuana regulations.
