Council changes tribal law on marijuana
Tribal Council made changes to drug code for the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians when dealing with small amounts of marijuana. Ord. No. 380 was submitted by Principal Chief Richard G. Sneed; Jeremy Wilson, EBCI governmental affairs liaison; and Joey Owle, Secretary of Agriculture and Natural Resources, and passed 11-1.
Changes were made to Cherokee Code Sec. 14-95.5 (Possession of a controlled substance) that changed the amount of marijuana one could possess before being charged with a class C penalty from one-half of an ounce to one ounce. It also eliminated the word ‘aggravated’ in the charge leaving simply ‘possession of marijuana’. It also raised the amount of “extracted resin of marijuana, commonly known as hashish” one can legally possess from one-twentieth of an ounce to three-twentieths of an ounce.
