Tribe In Nebraska Approves First Marijuana License As State Officials Scale Back Voter-Approved Medical Cannabis Law
As Nebraska officials face criticism for their attempts to significantly scale back a voter-approved medical marijuana law, an American Indian tribe in the state has approved its first license for a vertically integrated cannabis operation since it approved legalization within its borders earlier this year.
In his first meeting on Monday, Cannabis Regulatory Commission of the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska They discussed proposed rules to support the tribal marijuana market. They also agreed to license the tribe itself to move forward with the next steps in getting the industry up and running.
Draft rules were not adopted at the meeting, but the tribe’s attorney general, John Cartier, said that over time the territory would “be the direct contrast to that dysfunction and show that it is respecting the will of the voters, at least on the Omaha reservation.”
“We are ready to move forward to provide access to people who need help through medical cannabis,” he said.
Under the legalization code the tribe adopted in July — the first such reform in a state where lawmakers have long resisted policy change — adults 21 and older can buy and possess an ounce of cannabis if they’re on tribal land.
Arthur Isagholian, a member of the cannabis commission, warned at the meeting: “If you violate the rules off tribal land and you’re caught with the product you bought on tribal land, you’re on your own,” according to NTV. notify.
Although the tribe adopted a vertically integrated license for its own purposes, to help facilitate the implementation of legalization in the territory, it is unclear when the regulatory rules will go up for a vote and open the possibility of legal sales.
The tribe’s license “will, of course, be subject to our published rules and regulations, but to allow the tribe to be able to begin working on agreements, equity and financing while we’re fleshing this out,” one member said.
The committee will meet once a month, and at least some of the proposed regulations will be approved when the members meet again in November.
In a press release before Monday’s meeting, the tribe’s attorney general had some choice words for state officials.
“As the Nebraska process moves from delay to debate, we’re doing the one thing patients and businesses need: governing,” Cartier said. “On October 27, we’ll give Nebraska the green light: clear rules, real oversight and a workable, well-regulated industry rooted in sovereignty, safety and common sense.”
“We want to be a direct contrast to that dysfunction (at the state level) and show that the will of the voters is being respected, at least on the Omaha reservation, and we’re ready to move forward to provide access to people who need help through medical cannabis,” he said. he said.
He is not alone in criticism. Advocates have pushed back hard against the state after a panel appointed by the governor has presented proposed rules for the cannabis marketincluding purchase restrictions.

Custom Cones USA has announced the launch of Cones Canada, a wholly Canadian operation designed to meet the growing needs of Canadian pre-roll producers, processors and brands.
With a stocked warehouse in Ontario and a dedicated Canadian e-commerce platform, Cones Canada eliminates the complication that Canadian businesses have historically faced in sourcing pre-rolled cones: no import fees, no customs delays and no currency conversion headaches. Orders are billed in Canadian dollars (CAD) and shipped from Ontario to anywhere in Canada.
Why Cones Canada, why now?
The legal cannabis market in Canada continues to grow, and pre-rolls are a $1.4 billion market.

Canadian growers and processors have long relied on Custom Cones USA’s reputation for quality. Its cones have been tested to Health Canada standards for flowers and are trusted by leading pre-roll manufacturers worldwide. However, cross-border orders came with additional cost, time and logistical complexity.
“We’ve been supplying Canadian cannabis brands for years, and the demand from our Canadian customers made this next step an easy decision,” said Harrison Bard, co-founder and CEO of Custom Cones USA. “With Cones Canada, we’re bringing the same products, the same quality standards, and the same expert support that our customers have always trusted. Only now we’re doing it without limits.”
Cones Canada’s Ontario facility carries four of the most popular pre-rolled cone sizes from the Custom Cones USA catalog, each in two types of European-sourced paper: Refined White and Natural Brown.
In addition to ready-to-ship bulk cones, Cones Canada offers access to Custom Cones USA’s machine, packaging and custom branding options, including full-color filter tip printing, cigar bands and outer wraps. and custom packaging, Canadian brands can build a distinctive, shelf-ready product line backed by Pre-Roll Experts.
