Clark County Appoints "Green Ribbon Panel" For Pot Issues

Clark County is gearing up for the introduction of recreational marijuana in Nevada by appointing a so-called "Green Ribbon Panel" to explore ordinances and regulations surrounding the drug.

The Las Vegas Sun reports the Clark County Commission appointed the panel, which will assist it in drafting regulations, on Wednesday.

The 12-person group includes members of the Nevada Retail Association, representatives from the gaming community, marijuana cultivators and medical professionals.

Casey Morell is the coordinating producer of Nevada Public Radio's flagship broadcast State of Nevada and one of the station's midday newscast announcers. (He's also been interviewed by Jimmy Fallon, whatever that's worth.)
