Marijuana lounges and special marijuana events might soon be coming to the Las Vegas Valley since it was clarified over the weekend that they aren’t illegal.
A legal opinion released by the Legislative Counsel Bureau states nothing in Nevada law prevents a business from establishing a lounge or hosting a special event where recreational marijuana is used.
The Nevada Independent reports Democratic state Sen. Tick Segerblom requested the opinion, which offers more clarity on the matter.
Lawmakers failed to pass a bill last session that would have explicitly allowed marijuana lounges. Segerblom has vocally supported marijuana legislation, and said that lounges could be a major economic boost for the marijuana industry.
