POT TV – BBC News reported on prohibition problems for Indigenous people.
Chinese immigrants were hired as farmers for what they thought was legal hemp in New Mexico, but ended up growing drug crops in the Navajo Nation, reported The BBC.
Cannabis is illegal in the Navajo Nation, but legal in bordering New Mexico and Colorado, and yet still Illegal in surrounding Utah and Arkansas. Federally cannabis is illegal in the United States. The web of overlapping, unclear and unevenly enforced laws, combined with large investment interested in prohibition prices, has led to pop-up farms, large immigrant grower migrations and pain for Indigenous communities.
