Ste. Sault Marie Tribe Welcomes Cannabis

A cannabis company out of Michigan has made a historic move, partnering with the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, according to UpNorthLive.

As the latest additions to its retail stores in Michigan, Lume has announced the forthcoming opening of five new cannabis dispensaries on Sault Ste. Marie land between 2021 and 2022, the publication reported.


Economic Development Director of the Sault Tribe Joel Schultz told UpNorth Live:

“The Sault Tribe is working progressively to diversify economic development to enhance revenues to expand services to Sault Tribe Members. Lume has the expertise, passion, values and philosophy that make them the ideal company to work with to bring recreational cannabis to Sault Ste. Marie.”

Local publication, The Sault News reported one of the Lume retail facilities is slated to employ "20 people and while everyone can apply to this job, Tribal members are preferred."

Schultz told the Sault News:

“There are people against it, there are people that want to see Tribal employees only, locally-run...It’s a big arena with lots of opinions and we did our best to settle it into something that would give to the Tribe the much-needed revenue to deliver its services and be respectful to our community and our people.”

If Lume’s expansion plans go as planned, the Sault News reported it would make “Lume the leading single-state cannabis operator in the United States.”

Being stoned comes with a wealth of side effects – some of which are just part of the fun, while others have been known to get smeared all over a person’s psyche, causing them to gawk out the window every thirty seconds to see if the cops are coming up the stairs.

Perhaps the least discussed byproduct of the bud, however, is its uncanny ability to send the user into a maddening state of introspection. Cannabis can make individuals more attuned to their bodily sensations, emotions, and inner thoughts, which can contribute to this introspective state. Weed can often inspire the high-minded to start questioning their life choices, setting them on a path of self-doubt, self-loathing, and self-destruction.

Introduction to Psychoactive Mushrooms

Psychoactive mushrooms, also known as hallucinogenic mushrooms, have been revered for centuries across various cultures for their profound spiritual, medicinal, and recreational properties. These remarkable fungi contain psychoactive compounds such as psilocybin and psilocin, which have the power to alter perception, thought, and mood. The use of these mushrooms dates back to ancient Mesoamerican cultures, where they were considered sacred and integral to rituals and ceremonies aimed at communicating with the gods and ancestors. The Aztecs, in particular, held these mushrooms in high esteem, often referring to them as “the flesh of the gods” due to their ability to induce mystical and divine experiences.
