Snoqualmie Tribe passed marijuana resolution just as 'a joke'
Posted: Tuesday, July 12, 2011
A resolution to legalize marijuana was just "a joke," the leader of the Snoqualmie Tribe of Washington said.
Chairwoman Shelley Burch said tribal leaders came up with the idea because Willie Nelson, a marijuana legalization advocate, is playing the Snoqualmie Casino on July 30.
"It was just tongue in cheek at a council meeting; we know marijuana is illegal," she told the paper.
The concert is sold out.
