(FinCEN guidance on cannabis-related businesses)07
Is Waabigwan Mashkiki licensed by the Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management (OCM)?
No — and this is by legal design, not absence of authority. Waabigwan Mashkiki is owned and operated by the White Earth Band of Ojibwe, a federally recognized sovereign Indigenous nation. Under a 2023 state-tribal compact with the State of Minnesota, regulatory authority over Waabigwan retail rests with the Tribal Regulatory Agency (TRA) of the White Earth Nation. The TRA enforces equivalent seed-to-sale tracking, METRC compliance, lab testing, packaging, and age-verification standards as MN OCM.
(MN Tribal-State Cannabis Compact (MN OCM))08
Can I transport cannabis purchased in Moorhead back to North Dakota?
No. Federal Controlled Substances Act (21 USC § 812) prohibits the interstate transport of cannabis regardless of state legality. Cannabis purchased at Waabigwan Mashkiki Moorhead must be consumed in Minnesota. This restriction applies to driving, walking, or any other transport method across the Red River. Plan to consume your purchase before returning home.
(21 USC § 812)09
Are cannabis products at Waabigwan Mashkiki lab tested?
Yes. Every batch sold at Waabigwan Mashkiki Moorhead is third-party lab tested for cannabinoid potency, terpene profile, microbial contamination, heavy metals, pesticide residues, and residual solvents. Test results are documented under METRC seed-to-sale tracking and overseen by the White Earth Nation Tribal Regulatory Agency.
10
Does Waabigwan Mashkiki deliver to Fargo?
No. Waabigwan Mashkiki currently operates in-store pickup only at all four open Minnesota dispensaries. Cannabis delivery across state lines would constitute federal interstate transport in violation of 21 USC § 812. Place an online order via Dutchie at /menu/moorhead and your order will be ready when you arrive.
