Regulatory Compliance & Industry Integrity
About ITCC
Our mission is to promote public safety
and reduce public harm by regulating the Tribal commercial marijuana industry through the consistent administration of laws and regulations, the strategic integration of process management, the application of functional expertise, and innovative problem-solving solutions.
-The Inter Tribal Cannabis Commission
Created in early 2019 with the passage of the Constitution and Bylaws, which were enacted to support and safeguard tribal development and economic opportunities through the operation of cannabis industry facilities on Indian lands. The Commission provides regulatory infrastructure and enforcement for tribal communities entering the cannabis industry, as well as those already participating.
The Commission consists of one member from each ITCC regulated tribal community. The Chair, Vice Chair, and Secretary are selected by a majority vote.
The Commission spans from the east coast to the west coast and divides the United States into four regions:
-
The Northeast includes Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
-
The Midwest consists of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas.
-
