Cannabis boom and bust on Native American land – BBC News

During the pandemic, hundreds of Chinese migrants who lost their jobs moved to a remote city on the Navajo Nation Indian reservation in New Mexico, to do what they thought was legal agricultural work.

Instead, they and the local Native community found themselves pitted against one another in a bizarre cautionary tale about the boom in cannabis production in the US, and the impact on Asian migrant labourers.

    I think it could solve alot of our problems. Its a high cash flow crop, demand and profit very high. Employment, taxable revenue. It could be in the billions. God put this here for me and you to relax on that 7th day.

    So they allow them to have mescaline cactus but not weed, how nice of the US after stealing their land all that time ago..

    In Nevada we are going into the business for our people. Many want it. Nevada has marijuana market. They pay for our schools.

    I’m just curious, where they get the water from? Our indigenous peoples were put on land that was basically useless for anything, that’s why they were specifically put there. Most of the water from the Colorado goes to Nevada and California, not to Native American reservations.
    If any does make it there, they probably had to make that investment of time, labor and money themselves.
    The folks I met, had to have water delivered if it didn’t fall from the sky.

    Hi Grade Marijuana is good for your health and good for your lunds because marijuana smoke dries out the lungs but not in a bad way. The marijuana smoke clears and dries out congested lungs caused by covid 19 and any other illness that clogs the lungs.

    The reason behind why it’s illegal is comical.. all because when some guy learnt to use trees to make paper he got hemp made illegal so he could maximise profits. Nothing has changed up until now lmao

    I contacted the BBC in 2013 about the injustices of THE WAR ON DRUGS and MASS INCARCERATION surrounding marijuana. II was told to send in a detailed written account of my experience. After sending I was told that my story would be looked into. I never heard from them again but see that they are now interested in marijuana stories.
