LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Latest on Nevada becoming the fifth state in the U.S. with stores selling marijuana for recreational purposes (all times local):

Minnesota resident Edgar Rosas Lorenzo on Saturday flew with his family to Sin City for a wedding. But even before he checked in to his hotel, he stopped at a pot dispensary on the Las Vegas Strip.

The 21-year-old says he learned of the legalization of recreational marijuana in Nevada while he was at the airport waiting for his flight to depart. He waited in line about 40 minutes before he could buy one-eighth of an ounce of marijuana and hemp wraps.

Lorenzo immediately posted photos of his stash on Snapchat. He says his friends have said they're jealous and asked where he bought the products.

$$$$. And cash-strapped States are sure to join in.

Perhaps Illinois?

I’m wondering if they establish a legal distribution network before they do this or if they’re involved in the thousands of people being killed in Mexico due to the drug trade.

Sad.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Always thought that with this kind of permitted sale, they got to grow it too.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Trouble is (speaking to your tag first) there aren’t any “good.” Only God is good — Jesus. The illusion of arrival, of earthly perfection, is perennial. But this cuts off the effectual prayers to God, under the illusion that they are now unnecessary.

The actual bible says that it is not items themselves, but their use, that are either sinful or obedient to the Lord.

Illegal to smoke anywhere but a private home, but they sell it to tourists.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Sounds like there are a lot of friendly homes there, huh.

CONSIDER A DAILY CHANGE JAR TO OPERATE FR

You won't even miss the 25 or 50 cents, but at the end of the month
you will have at least $5 to donate so FR can operate smoothly,
or you will moan and groan and go into withdrawal
when it is down, because of broken parts,
or over loaded servers during crisis events.

That is what this is.

Nevada has had legal medical cannabis for a while so much of the supporting infrastructure was already there to build on.

Gambling and legalized marijuana. What could go wrong?

[Mr. Blond]

Not much. Weed doesn’t lend itself to compulsion like alcohol, so it will actually harm the gambling business. Expect the casinos to lobby hard against the legal weed eventually.

Don’t forget legal prostitution. Nevada has it all.

[a fool in paradise]

And yet prostitution is legal in the state and illegal in Vegas.

Most is grown indoors in the USA. I doubt any of this is grown in Mexico

Casinos will lobby for legal blow.

Make your friends “jealous”. Buy some dope and post pictures of it on Snapchat. The New Snowflake America.

For your interest.
