ASSEMBLY OF FIRST NATIONS MEETS TO TALK CANNABIS

Last week, Bill Blair met with First Nations representatives to talk about resolving the absence of Indigenous jurisdiction, rights, and concerns in the Liberal legalization framework. This week, the Assembly of First Nations had their own discussions—the First Nations Cannabis Summit, in Vancouver.

  • The summit was attended by AFN Chiefs and their representatives, who talked about the potential for cannabis as an economic driver, the communities who do not want to deal with the plant, and the complexity of jurisdictional issues associated with cannabis in Indigenous communities.
