Tribes enter hemp business
The Confederated Tribes
are starting a hemp growing
business, to be located on the
Schoenhagen property. The
property is a farmland.
Tribal Council approved
the proposal last week, at the
recommendation of Warm
Springs
Ventures-CP
Enterprise.
A variety of products can
come from hemp. This will
be non-recreational cannabis
crop.
There will be the grow
operation, storage unit, and
extraction facility.
Ventures hosted two
community input meetings
earlier this month, with a
show of support from the
membership.
Funding to begin the
operation will come from
the carbon sequestration
revenue. The carbon
project, a Ventures-Tribal
Council endeavor, is
expected to bring in several
million dollars over the next
few years.
The new hemp enterprise
is smaller version of an
initial idea that Ventures
developed after the
membership approved the
referendum three years ago.
The plan now is to produce
CBD hemp, used in a range
of products from medicine
to pet food.
The CBD products are
subject to less stringent regu-
lation, compared to recre-
ational cannabis. Hemp-
CBD contains only a slight
trace of THC, the psychoac-
tive chemical in recreational
marijuana.
The
304-acre
Schoenhagen property is lo-
cated across the river off
Highway 26. The land is in
trust.
