The Paiute Tribe's Marijuana Venture | WEEDIQUETTE

So far every Native American tribe to grow marijuana has been shut down by police. Now the Paiute Tribe of Las Vegas is looking to weed to save their tribe from extinction.

This episode of Weediquette first aired on VICE TV in 2016.

    I’d be OVER THE MOON to see Natives REBUILD and THRIVE! It would be amazing to see the tribes economy booming from growing/selling marijuana! It would be absolutely devastating to see these bloodlines and cultures become extinct. We need to preserve and restore indigenous cultures, we would be nothing without them! ❀

    You would think it would be unconstitutional not in that blood quantum quantifies actual native Americans because our constitution doesn’t see that Native Americans have rights as every other human being does the other side of the coin quantifies how many people are not considered that and actually are considered to have constitutional rights based on blood quantum so yourconsidering civil rights and constitutional protections based on blood quantum am I getting this correct? That really does seem like what Nazi Germany would do after the war to be very frank and honest.

    The police wont hesitate to raid and rob small weed growing startups but they are less willing to raid a larger operation run by a businessman in a suit because they know he’ll fight it all the way in the courts, this is just completely corrupt.

  22. @Tokushu101 on October 26, 2024 at 9:49 pm

    Hey Vice.. here’s an Idea! Rather then repost and fish for likes.. Do an UPDATE on this one.. You know… Like a Sequel #2!
    Cause we wanna see how the Paiute are doing and if thing’s got better for their tribe and the tribe’s around them.
    We’d also like an update on the kids, Austin especially.. and if the tribe has ever considered allowing Benny’s kids to claim the tribe.

    All those in favor hit the like!

  32. @waltersabin8099 on October 26, 2024 at 10:03 pm

    Oh my gosh. It is Gonja.

    Are you able to share with this old man from good origins, also? I love to dance with holy spirits.

    The genetics of cannabis that some people have discovered since their first partaking in the early 70’s.

    Now to see VA, USA just legalized it for better revenues that are spreading out for others. One result may also include, more Holy Spirit like behaviors because this is just a reminder for: "The Holy Spirits That We Are". Medical Marijuana also helps heal the soul. Gone are the guilt feelings.

    "Our Best Practices Next Steps", maybe should also include: reversing wrongful "Med. Marj. Convictions"? What about our wrongs disappearing because of our rights; and because of our beliefs in a Holy Trinity. And then what about our bias that may need reversing?

    Mother Earth, and Mother World and Mother Universe. We play our parts, and that strikes me as a great task. So, God Bless those who also put their energies there; such as dancing with Holy Spiris…. ;-). Turn it around.

    The Indians were not peaceful people read your text books they slaughtered each other over nothing



  40. @JBBost on October 26, 2024 at 10:12 pm

    As a potential buyer of the Cherokee’s, don’t do what they did and screw us over for a year. We assumed they would open to sell to us on 420 and they didn’t, fast foward to July and they decide to only sell to Indigenous People. Now, September 7th, I’m finally going to be able to go there and buy pot, and word on the street is what they’ll be selling is over a year old and has lost all potency.

    It should have been one drop of blood 🩸 ever since colonized came to visit pure an untouched foreign land that was already occupied bye pure blood people into play on blood quantum just like HAWAII WE GOTTA be 50 percent Hawaiian to get land supposed to be like that they say money talk bullshit walk
