An initial response to the Draft Millbrook First Nation Cannabis Control Law by the Micmac Rights Association – May 10, 2023
Unfortunately, our worst fears have been confirmed by the final draft of the Millbrook Cannabis Control Law that is being brought to the Band Council for discussion on May 9th, 2023. This draft law does not take into account the opinions of either the band members or the cannabis dispensary owners who were supposedly consulted in the report. It replicates all the failed policies of the Kahnawake cannabis law, which has been a disastrous failure not only in Kahnawake, but in Six Nations, Tyendinaga, and everywhere else it has been tried.
