Penticton Indian Band has signed a non-binding letter of interest with Kaneh Bosm BioTechnology Inc.

Pentictonwesternnews.com reports the Penticton Indian Band has signed a non-binding letter of interest with Kaneh Bosm BioTechnology Inc., to investigate the cultivation of medical marijuana in its territory. The process now is to talk with community members, do a feasibility study and examine costs of environmental assessments, and if all that is positive, move on to a community referendum. Chief Jonathan Kruger said he is surprised he is hearing more positive than negative comments about the enterprise. “I just can’t believe how much support we have.” He said band members are educating themselves on the rules of medical marijuana operations, as well as the healing properties of the plant.
