People from various Native American communities gathered at the Albuquerque Indian Pueblo Cultural Center Thursday to learn more about marijuana.
A local medical marijuana magazine and a Native American economic development organization teamed up for the Tribal Hemp and Cannabis Summit. The event covered all kinds of topics, including medical benefits, industrial hemp, manufacturing possibilities and what it takes to launch a marijuana business.
Organizers said the goal was to teach Native American communities there's more to the industry than just selling pot.
"Nationally everybody's having a conversation whether tribes should or shouldn't grow medical marijuana. But there are other conversations that need to happen in that, including manufacturing," said Cristala Mussato-Allen, executive director of Native Workplace and one of the event's organizers.
The summit comes months after the U.S. Department of Justice released a memo potentially giving tribal governments the ability to grow and sell marijuana on their land.
