Add InterestAmerican Indian tribes that say they have been cut out of California's legal marijuana market have raised the possibility of going their own way by establishing pot businesses outside the state-regulated system that is less than two months old. Without state licenses, businesses cannot take part in the legal state pot market. The dispute in California differs from another legal pot state, Washington, where seven tribes have marijuana compacts with the state and others are in negotiations or awaiting the governor's approval. GB Sciences would get income for its marijuana research and a foothold in the largest legal pot market in the U.S. But the projected $8 million project is on hold, with the status of tribes in the pot market unclear.
