Sask. First Nation says it's ready to challenge province's pot jurisdiction

Some First Nation communities that were left off Saskatchewan's list of places eligible for a cannabis retail store say they may open stores anyway, challenging provincial jurisdiction over reserve land when it comes to pot.

Nathan Pasap, Chief of White Bear First Nation, said the First Nation's leadership is interested in becoming a retailer for medicinal and recreational marijuana and they are creating their own laws for self-regulating in their community.
