| | 'It's about time': Celebration marks Red Lake Nation’s recreational cannabis dispensary opening |
The first customers at NativeCare in the town of Red Lake said they were excited and grateful to be able to purchase products at the tribal nation’s recreational marijuana store.
John Webster was among the first to step into the NativeCare dispensary Tuesday morning. A medical cannabis user in Maine, he had come from North Dakota where he says it’s harder to qualify for that state’s program.
“I was thrilled when I saw about the [Minnesota] law that was passed for today, for recreational marijuana to be sold,” Webster said. “It's like Christmas.” | |
