Eastern Shoshone Tribe considering medical marijuana and hemp opportunities

December 14, 2019

The Eastern Shoshone Tribe in Wyoming is studying the business opportunities and legalities of producing medical marijuana and hemp on their Wind River Reservation. These studies were initiated last September in a vote by the tribe's General Council. There will be no consideration of recreational use of marijuana which is illegal in Wyoming.

A group member working on the project, Bobbi Shongutsie, said:

"Some of the benefits we thought of together were to create more jobs and to heal our people. We're trying to transition hemp and medical cannabis into Wyoming so our tribe can get financially stable".

"We obviously have a vision on getting hemp and medical cannabis here, and our very first step is taking it to our governing body. We are the last of the first seventh generation, inspiring and motivating the next seventh generation".

The 2018 Farm Bill allows states and tribes to seek approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to administer hemp production plans within their own borders. Earlier this month the State of Wyoming received USDA approval of its plan under which Wyoming farmers can grow hemp beginning in 2020.

After the study is completed and the results analyzed, the Eastern Shoshone may decide to follow the same path taken by the Wyoming government by submitting a similar plan to the USDA for administering cultivation and processing on the Wind River Reservation.
