Cannabis Culture - An Indigenous Perspective

ATV Feature: Getting into the cannabis industry represents a chance to assert their economic and political sovereignty. The Mohawk Nation at Akwesasne, Kahnawake and Kanesatake - are looking at community based approaches, each vying to establish its own cannabis licensing and bylaws. This new and emerging ‘Cannabis Culture’ doesn’t come without passionate debates or political pushback from within each community. Journalist Regan Jacobs travels to each territory to get an indigenous perspective on the issue.

Clifton Nicholas is the pioneer of this movement and one of the most knowledgeable and educated people I've ever met when it comes to Cannabis. He is trustworthy, professional and a true businessman, go see him for great product and excellent service. Highly recommend!!!!

But these are the tribes that are way out West. East Coast tribes were more familiar with it.

woooOOOOooo spooky magic weeed, these people really need to stop making weed look so terrifying

[@johnmartens-ty7rf]

It is green like the snake! When people smoke it they hiss like a snake and once it kicks in their eyes squint like a snake! Hope this info helps all people!

[@jasonsebastian8504]

So everything green is bad? Lol. You know snakes are different colors, are all the colors bad? I've smoked weed for 20 years and never once have I hissed like a snake or seen anyone else do that smh. And the squinty eyes thing, are you saying eastern Asian people are evil? That would be racist, and most native Americans descend from those people groups. Cmon man!

[@super671000]

Ppl who can’t accept weed just need to let others do what they want in their own safe place or respected place and go about their day. It’s not bothering you at all but you yourself who disapproves gets you’re pecker hard and beat it till YOURE only happy in the end

[@Cyseralsj]

tbh, we need new free land, canada gives people way too much trouble, canadian government touches our lives too much

[@jasonsebastian8504]

Complains about the government "touching your life too much" then wants them to give you more free land smh. That's why they are all up in your business bc you keep asking for and taking things from them!!

[@humanbeingfromearth]

Native boomers say no to the herb😂

[@Cyseralsj]

Indian country? thats what she calls it?

[@69AARVIPER]

You try to make your people suffer ! Your a bad chief

[@Windex8Z]

ok great concept and all but dont put out "green crack" on camera and then say not to treat it like a harmful drug and more like a medicine

[@azz75sl]

I hate strain names like that. My 50 year old Christian mother isn’t gonna go into a shop to get something for her stomach issues and ask for the green crack or the Matanuska Thunderfuck or the cheetah piss. It’s annoying.
