BECAUSE EVERYONE SMOKES HEMP AND MAKES ROPE OUT OF WEED.

My sister-in-law is a member, it will be interesting to see what she thinks about it. She was adopted out at an early age but has siblings still there.

made in Fed District Court Nine San Francisco this past week is ground breaking and will give the tribe the equivalent of Get Out of Jail free card, plus restitution of all monies/profits lost, from this illegal raid.

I will tell my SIL. How it applies to the actual legal case against the tribe will be up to their lawyers. I think the tribes have some darn good lawyers these days. They have been battling the mining companies and the agricultural polluters / aquifer drainers for some years now.
