When we say that everyone is trying to get into the growing marijuana industry, we mean it. Two advisors who worked with a Native American tribe on its arrangements to open the country’s first pot resort have been accused of medication offenses, South Dakota’s lawyer general declared Wednesday. The charges come eight months after the Flandreau Santee Sioux wrecked their harvest in the midst of fears of a government attack, relinquishing an aspiring plan to build up “a grown-up play area” that they evaluated could net as much as $2 million a month in benefits. Tribal pioneers this week said they don’t plan to return to the proposition, and rather will utilize their property to develop vegetables, including tomatoes.

Lawyer General Marty Jackley, who cautioned against the tribe’s proposition from the begin, said that a scope of cannabis ownership charges had been brought against two top authorities of Monarch America, the Littleton, Colorado-based organization employed to work with the tribe. Eric Hagen, Monarch’s CEO, was accused by the prosecution of connivance to have, ownership and endeavor to have more than 10 pounds of cannabis. Jonathan Hunt, the VP and development master, was accused of connivance to have between a half-pound and a pound of pot.

Hagen, 34, of Sioux Falls, declined to remark. Chase, 43, of Colorado, didn’t quickly react to phone messages asking for input. Jackley said Hunt was relied upon to concede Aug. 15. Court reports say Hunt requested weed seeds from an organization in the Netherlands that were placed in CD cases and sewn into shirts and transported surreptitiously to the tribe’s office in 2015. Powers say Hunt and others developed the plants at the Flandreau develop office before they were smoldered.

“It is very clearly a violation of both federal and state law what was proposed and what was happening,” Jackley added.
