Marijuana consists of the dried flowering leaves and tops of the cannabis plant. The amount of THC usually ranges from less than 1% to more than 6% of the marijuana material. A marijuana cigarette is referred to as a joint; it is hand-rolled, usually with the ends twisted.

The boycott is in response to a raid on a bingo on the reserve that had allegedly been held without a provincial gaming license.

"It's about time we started to look at economic development on our own reserve," says Band Councillor Henry B. Quinney, a former chief.
