Island Peži, the latest addition to the cannabis market, has officially opened its doors in Prairie Island, near Red Wing, Minnesota. This new dispensary, owned and operated by the Prairie Island Indian Community, marks a significant milestone as the closest dispensary to the Twin Cities since recreational cannabis use was legalized last year.

A Unique Opportunity

Island Peži’s strategic location close to the Twin Cities and its adjacency to the casino at Treasure Island Resort & Casino are expected to drive profits. These profits will contribute to the tribal government, supporting essential services such as health care and education.

Community Involvement and Decision-Making

The tribe’s decision to enter the cannabis business was made through community outreach and consensus. Tribal members participated in the decision-making process, ensuring that diverse perspectives were considered. Island Peži now stands as a well-regulated business, providing safe access to cannabis products.

Island Peži represents a step forward in cannabis accessibility, offering a legal and well-regulated option for adult-use recreational cannabis in the region.

Harry is the editor of CBD STRAINS ONLY, his own independent publication about CBD, hemp and cannabis strains, the products made from them and the rules that govern their sale. He has been a journalist for ten years, first reporting and then editing, and the bulk of that time has gone to this beat. Product coverage rests on the certificate of analysis: he reads the third party lab reports for cannabinoid content, terpene profile, residual solvents, pesticides and heavy metals, compares the numbers with what the label claims, and names the gap when there is one. Strain write-ups draw on breeder records, seed bank listings and published genetics work rather than on forum lore. Legal thresholds for THC in hemp, licensing rules and labelling requirements are quoted from the statute or regulation itself, and every figure is checked before publication. The site keeps a public corrections policy. None of this is medical advice; cannabis law differs by jurisdiction, and readers with a health condition should consult a clinician before using any product.
