IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING: Indigenous cannabis, governed by Indigenous Nations.
The Indigenous Cannabis Governance Authority (ICGA) https://www.icgauthority.com/ is working to unite Indigenous Nations behind a cannabis industry that is safe, trusted, and self-determined. Its approach is clear: set shared standards for safety and quality, recognize local cannabis councils that operate under community law, and support trade between Nations.
At BPS, we believe this work matters. Self-regulation will be a major focus in 2027. Nations that set their own standards now will be better placed to protect their communities, earn customer trust, and grow their economies.
That is why Stuart Lutterman, owner of BPS, is hosting a meeting with ICGA members, Indigenous communities, and dispensary owners.
What we want to accomplish:
• Learn about the ICGA’s standards and certification goals
• Talk openly about why self-regulation is the next step
• Hear what communities and dispensaries need
• Find ways to help the ICGA grow and earn wider recognition
• Agree on next steps for 2027
Date: Oct 15 · Time: 6:30 EST
