All Possession or Use of Marijuana is Prohibited in Coquille Indian Housing Authority Premises
With marijuana decriminalization and authorization of medical use of marijuana by the
State of Oregon, people have been asking whether it is okay to possess or use marijuana
in Coquille Indian Housing Authority (CIHA) premises. The answer is no.
Possession or use of marijuana for any purpose is prohibited within the Tribe’s
reservation lands, facilities, and housing as a matter of federal law.
Even though the State of Oregon allows the legal possession and consumption of
marijuana, Oregon’s law does not change federal drug laws, and those are the laws that
apply to CIHA housing. Marijuana remains classified as a Schedule I drug under the federal
Controlled Substances Act and thus subject to federal prosecution. Because Tribal
reservation lands are federal trust lands and are subject to some federal jurisdiction,
the possession or use of marijuana is unlawful. If CIHA were to allow marijuana use or
possession in its properties, CIHA’s federal funding could be jeopardized.
Section 207 of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act,
which is the law that provides federal assistance for CIHA, requires rental leases and
homebuyer agreements to state specifically that drug-related criminal activity,
like the use or possession of marijuana, is cause for eviction.
As a result, if you use or possess any federally controlled substance,
including marijuana, in CIHA housing, you will be subject to eviction.
Additionally, the federal Drug Free Workplace Act requires federal contractors
and grantees like CIHA to agree to provide a drug-free workplace or face sanctions,
such as suspension or termination of funding. CIHA could be prohibited from
seeking federal funding in the future if it violates such language.
The bottom line is that marijuana cannot be possessed or consumed within
Tribal reservation lands, Tribal facilities, or Tribal housing - NO EXCEPTIONS.
