 The Prairie Island Indian Community's new cannabis dispensary opened this weekend on the tribe's lands near Red Wing. Island Paisley is the first dispensary within an hour's drive of the Twin Cities Metro. Blake Johnson is president of Prairie Island Cannabis, the tribally owned company which owns the dispensary. He says the decision to enter the cannabis market started with Prairie Island citizens. That work initially started with community outreach. We wanted the community involved. We heard from a number of community members that wanted to see us go down this path.
