Native American gaming is big business, so why not Native American marijuana? Today, Native American tribes are looking to expand beyond casinos into marijuana, legal for medical use in 29 states and for recreational use in 7. The Department of Justice has taken notice, issuing a memorandum that reviewed their policy on marijuana issues as they relate to Native American tribes.

Native American tribes and their wholly owned tribal corporations are not subject to federal income taxes on their earnings.
