Coats, who serves on the U.S. attorney general’s advisory subcommittee on American Indian issues, said he doesn't believe the door is wide open for tribal marijuana sales.

Coats said he believes any decision not to enforce federal marijuana laws on Indian lands would be limited to states that have voted to liberalize marijuana laws.

The funny thing about this is it is Oklahoma. There is one hell of a lot of tribal land in Oklahoma.

I include a link for fairness but it is a garbage newspaper so not worth clicking
