‘Amsterdam on steroids’: Las Vegas dispensaries brace for Saturday start of recreational sales

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.

You didn’t serve nothing except destruction and sadness.

Why do the stoners here who out themselves well think they are conservative or any different from Bill Ayres and Obama?

You’re not.

You sound just like the crazy resist liberals and leftists.

Because you are the same.

I take CBD oil and I have an upcoming trip to Vegas. Can I take it with me now on a flight from CA? Would I be breaking the law to do so? I was afraid I might have to leave it behind. And I will not have time to buy any there.

“You are, nay, have, destroyed this great country.”

Wow, all by your lonesome you destroyed the once-great U. S. of A. by smoking a little whacky tobaccy? Quite an accomplishment that you achieved what even the Soviet Empire failed to do!

Standing and applauding!!!! Great post.

Two kinds of FReepers. One kind, wants freedom for all Americans as given by Gd and enumerated in the Constitution. Other kind, wants everything done according to HIS tastes and desires, exactly as fascist as the leftists, just wants different rules over others.

I’m in Vegas as we speak. Stopped into one of the dispensaries a few days ago to look around. They are heavily advising their customers to stock up before Saturday. All are anticipating huge lines and total sellout. I think this will be huge for Nevada, especially with the tourists.

You’re the one pushing for more government power. The fact is for almost 200 years pot (and other recreational drugs) were legal in this country. We won a bunch of wars wit hit legal, so it apparently does not make us weak. If there’s an Obama in this conversation it’s the nanny state WOD douche.

You don’t have a clue about me or conservatism, you know, the belief in small government that doesn’t intrude into peoples lives, which is at the core of political conservatism.

I know you endorse dope smoking.

Not conservative.

In fact the opposite.

The 60’s radicals knew what they were doing.

Spare me your new left revisionist history.

Next you’ll be saying it was Hearst who made it illegal because hemp paper was so cheap.

I seen you hippies my whole life and had your stupid brain addled authority screwing things up and forcing nonsense on all of us my whole life.

First it was just the Bay Area in California. Now you communists have taken over practically the whole country.

Yaelle, my wife was certified in NYS for medical marijuana because she had cancer and all we could get was CBD in a tincture form, but as rktman pointed out, we couldn't bring it with us because Federal law still considers it to be illegal and you can get busted if caught. You're better off getting just enough to get you through during your time in Vegas.

Nothing revisionist about it. The ACTUAL recorded history of America is that we didn’t start serious illegalization until the 50s and 60s.

Ain’t a hippy. Ain’t addled. Ain’t a commie. And every insults you throw shows you know you lack the facts. So since we both know you’re full of crap do the honorable thing and get your lies and insults off this thread.

“Ain’t a hippy. Ain’t addled. Ain’t a commie.”

You’re in denial.

You’re an addled drug addict who us anti-American and anti-freedom.

You are a tool being used by the hard left and other enemies.

You should quit doing drugs and get your head straight.
