This past June, the United States Department of Justice granted permission for Indian tribes to grow and sell marijuana on Santee Sioux land, a special status the Santee Sioux tribe of South Dakota used almost immediately diversify its business portfolio.
Already operating a successful casino, 120-room hotel, and 240-head buffalo ranch, these forward-thinking capitalists are planning to open North America’s first marijuana resort by the end of the year. They’ve already begun growing over 30 strains of weed, some of them hopefully potent enough to render South Dakota a resort destination.
“Gorilla Glue,” one of their original cultivations, should achieve that.
“We want it to be an adult playground,” tribal President Anthony Reider told the Associated Press. “There’s nowhere else in America that has something like this.”
The grounds will feature a nightclub, arcade games, bars, a restaurant, slot machines and an outdoor music venue, which, if one chooses to blaze at any number of facilities that offer these amenities, isn’t all that unique. Nevertheless, the tribe expects to rake in up to $2 million a month in profit from an operation described as “clean, efficient, proficient, safe and secure” by the VP of a company hired to perfect the resort’s growing process.
The yet-t0-be-named stoner paradise, which we eagerly anticipate to be called Mount Kushmore, is slated to open on December 31, catapulting Flandreau, SD into the top 500 New Year’s destinations in country.
