Warm Springs Tribe Hopes Its Cannabis Company Brings Jobs, Not a Federal Crackdown

Devontre Thomas' marijuana-possession case includes a twist: The very tribe he is a member of is poised to become one of the first in the nation to successfully dive into the legal cannabis business.

The Warm Springs tribe hopes to open a 36,000-square-foot cannabis cultivation, extraction and wholesaling facility on reservation land in the next year—a project approved by a majority vote of tribal members and coordinated with Gov. Kate Brown's office.

The Warm Springs tribe believes getting into the pot business will bring jobs to an area that badly needs them.
