The guideline lists priori-
ties for the prosecutors to
keep in mind when determin-
ing how to handle a marijuana
case. The priorities include,
for example: The prevention
of the distribution of mari-
juana to minors; prevention
of the sale of marijuana to
further a criminal enterprise;
prevention of the diversion
of marijuana from states
where it is legal to other states;
among other priorities.
The U.S. Attorney is to
meet with the tribes and de-
termine the tribal opinion on
the matter. A tribe could
choose to follow the Depart-
ment of Justice guideline; or
follow the state law; or con-
tinue strict prosecution.
Last fall, Oregon Measure
91, legalizing marijuana for
people over 21, passed by a
margin of 56 percent to 44.
In the Warm Springs precinct
the vote was 158 in favor and
133 against.
