Private Membership, rooted in Lenapehoking.
The Tribal Research & Development Private Closed-Loop Membership for cannabis is an innovative initiative launched by the Lenape Native American tribe to explore the potential of cannabis for craft, holistic, agricultural, and economic purposes. This exclusive membership program promotes responsible research, development, and cultivation within the tribal community while respecting cultural values and traditions.
Growing Pharms is a Lenape-led Tribal Research and Development initiative operating in full compliance with the legal parameters defined by Title 21 CFR 1308, Title 21 U.S.C. § 822, and Title 21 U.S.C. § 885 of the Controlled Substances Act.
We have established several Treaties and Tribal Compacts with Sovereign Indigenous Nations including the Shinnecock, Yamasee, and others. These government-to-government agreements affirm our right to conduct responsible cannabis research, cultivation, and development on tribal lands. We are actively working to expand these relationships and formally establish a Tribal Cannabis Union that unites tribes in pursuit of economic sovereignty, cultural preservation, and holistic cannabis advancement.
Why we cultivate.
Rigorous research on the medical applications of cannabis for the tribal population — exploring relief for various health conditions and overall wellbeing.
R&D investment to optimize cultivation techniques tailored to the tribe's environment, with sustainable, eco-friendly practices.
Revenue from responsible cultivation reinvested into community projects, infrastructure, and education for tribal self-sufficiency.
An exclusive community.
The membership operates as an exclusive community of members deeply committed to the program's objectives. Access is limited to tribal members and select partners who share the tribe's values and vision — ensuring a closely-knit, trustworthy network dedicated to the initiative's success.
Strict guidelines for organic, environmentally friendly growing — no harmful chemicals.
Regular meetings, workshops, and seminars where members exchange research and best practice.
Traditional practices and tribal elders integrated throughout the R&D process.
Significant revenue reinvested into education, healthcare, social programs, and infrastructure.
