Where Buying Marijuana is Legal, But There’s Nowhere to Smoke It

Las Vegas’ reputation as a place where you can indulge your vices and have a good time helps it lure some 43 million visitors a year. But tourists heading to Sin City hoping to consume newly legal cannabis have a problem: There are few places in town, other than private homes, where someone can legally light up a joint.

In Nevada and the seven other states that allow people to consume marijuana for fun, it’s typically illegal to smoke or ingest the drug in dispensaries, bars, restaurants, city parks and public streets. Hotels and landlords often ban people from using the drug on their property.

“The next frontier is: Where do people use it?” said Nevada state Sen. Tick Segerblom, a Democrat who advocated for marijuana legalization. He said that creating lounges where people can legally consume the cannabis products they buy is the logical solution.

I was there recently. People smoked while walking the strip and police didn't even bother them.

Look like you belong, don't cause a commotion and all is fine in the world. Act like a thug, make everyone know you are around - LOOK out of place (white wife beater shirt, over large pants falling down, black socks with overpriced bright white high-tops at 230am on a dark street corner) and well you should be caught!
