The Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel last month opened a marijuana dispensary inside what once was the tribe’s casino off state Route 79 south of Lake Henshaw. It was the first tribe in the county to enter the lucrative marijuana business. Other local tribes are expected to follow suit, potentially setting up a confrontation with county officials, who have banned the operations in the unincorporated areas, though they have no control over the reservations. And the tribes have reached out to the state asking to join the larger licensed cannabis network, but so far have been rebuffed. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/communities/north-county/sd-no-ysabel-marijuana-20190214-story.html
