LVRJ: Chamber Of Cannabis Seeks To Usher In Diversity And Consumption Lounges

October 1, 2021 by Tina Ulman

CARSON CITY — After years of legislative failures, marijuana consumption lounges soon could take root in Nevada.

Assemblyman Steve Yeager, D-Las Vegas, is sponsoring a bill in the Legislature that would legalize cannabis social use venues, a move that would give tourists an avenue to legally consume marijuana.

“We just need to provide that kind of venue so people can do it responsibly and do it the right way if they so choose,” Yeager said.

The issue has been around since the state allowed recreational marijuana sales starting in 2017. Tourists can come to Nevada and legally buy cannabis, but the only place where it can be consumed under state law is inside a private residence. And hotel rooms don’t count.

“It’s just crazy that we would encourage people from out of state to buy it knowing that as soon as they walk out the door they’ll probably be breaking the law,” said Clark County Commissioner Tick Segerblom, considered Nevada’s godfather of cannabis for leading the charge for legalization.
