Fueled by one of the world’s largest tourism industries, Nevada is preparing to do the same on July 1. A May report published by Gov. Brian Sandoval’s task force on marijuana estimates that up to 63 percent of recreational buyers will be tourists.

“Everything we know shows that millennials are very pro-marijuana, and that’s the new marketing push,” said Nevada state Sen. Tick Segerblom, a longtime marijuana advocate. “This is a game-changer for Las Vegas and tourism here as far as I’m concerned.”

“Amsterdam on steroids,” he added.

“Why do you think getting everyone stoned will help? “

This is a fallacy. Everyone is not getting stoned. Not everyone likes cannabis just as not everyone drinks alcohol.

I think ceasing to hyperinflate drug profits and channel them into criminal hands will help.

You will first have to get the dirty hands of the cops, judges and politicians out of it first. Pot got really cheap in Colorado, California and Nevada after they legalized it, right?

“you were on multiple drugs and very overweight for 20 yrs and THAT alone didn’t make you feel very unhealthy?...”

I was on multiple prescribed medications & at times I felt better for a few weeks at a time before my symptoms would get worse & I was placed on different meds that would repeat the cycle over varying time periods.

“gosh, the circular excuses pot heads use....”

Telling the truth is not circular reasoning. All you’ve offered here is some weak ad-hominem & contempt.

That’s ok. I forgive you. Hope you have a very nice 4th.

Pure fallacy.

Not everyone uses cannabis just as not everyone uses alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, etc.

There isn’t going to be a “stoned useless populace” in America anymore than there is a drunk useless populace.

The only thing you are offering in this thread is contempt. Good luck with that lol.

Cheap enough, even with taxes, where billions are being spent on the legal product - billions that otherwise would remain in criminal hands. I agree that criminals would be even more effectively defunded if the taxes were lower.

“Maybe you should actually read it.”

So you obviously can’t name the section then, or you would have done it instead of trying to substitute snark for substance.

“So boogieman not only proves the pothead is brain addled, it proves to be slow and hypocritical, too.”

I’m not a pothead, moron. You might have figured out that not everyone who disagrees with you is a pothead after you already embarrassed yourself with that assumption, but I guess not.

“You act as if any of this mattered. The 2nd at one time may have mattered, not anymore.”

So the Constitution matters as little to you as those on the left who want to ban guns?

Then maybe you should be one.

Yooz gotza real bad anger management problem, a lack of self control with the ad hominems, and no creativity whatsoever with said ad hominems.

“Moron”? Is that all you got? Lol! :-D

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Unless that clock is hooked on a silly conspiracy theory that has the government both wanting drugs to be illegal and legal.

Not allowed in casinos, hotels, bars, parks or public places. Basically only inside your home.
