The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians of Michigan and Indiana and Michigan’s Cannabis Regulatory Agency have signed the state’s second tribal-state cannabis compact, giving the tribe access to Michigan’s licensed adult-use cannabis market.
The Pokagon Band legalized adult-use cannabis on its tribal lands in April 2023 and opened its Rolling Embers retail store and consumption lounge. Until now, the business could not participate in Michigan’s licensed adult-use market or conduct transactions with state-licensed cannabis businesses.
Under the compact, Rolling Embers will be able to use the same wholesale and distribution channels as state-licensed dispensaries and participate in Michigan’s statewide seed-to-sale marijuana tracking system, known as Metrc.
