Nevada, the only State where the game and the prostitution are legal, adds entertaining marijuana to its list of indulgences sanctioned for the adults, and the sales start with more than ten stores as from Saturday.
Following a measurement of legalization approved by the voters of Nevada in November, the State will join four other American States and the District of Columbia to allow the entertaining sales.
The authorized stores of marijuana will be able to sell up to one ounce (28 grams) with entertaining ends by some 21-year-old customers and more.
The public consumption of marijuana is prohibited, and Nevada promulgated new regulations against the edible shapes of a pot which could call upon the children, like candies in the impregnated fruit shape of cannabis.
Nevada also imposes a tax of excise duty of 10 percent on the sales of pot, besides the tax of regular sale of 4.6 percent.
Nevada did not finalize yet the exact number of stores which the regulators will approve. Sixty requests were subjected in the whole of the State, according to Klapstein, whose department supervises the market of the steps of the State.
Only the dispensaries of medical cannabis, which became legal in the state in 2015, are acceptable with licenses for the entertaining sales.
Much of them should open in Las Vegas, more the big city and the magnet of the game.
“Tens of million visitors a year coming from all the corners of the United States and the whole world will see at first sight that the regulation of the marijuana functions”, Mason Tvert, a spokesperson for the Marijuana Policy Project declared, a group which supported the measurement of the vote of November 2016.
The voters of three other States - California, Maine, and Massachusetts - also approved the regulation of the marijuana. In 2012, Washington and Colorado were the first States to legalize the entertaining marijuana, followed by Oregon and Alaska.
