Tribal cannabis could soon be coming to Connecticut, where operators in the limited-license state have to date enjoyed limited competition.
That’s after Gov. Ned Lamont last week signed a compact with the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe, the latest example of a state opening the door to cannabis cultivation, manufacturing and sales on sovereign tribal land – and welcoming tribal cannabis into the state’s regulated market.
Other Native tribes across the country have sealed similar deals with state governments, perhaps most notably in Michigan and in Minnesota, where tribal operators were the first to record adult-use sales last fall.
