Looks like you'll be able to celebrate your freedom on the 4th with the freedom to smoke some cheeba for fun, and not just to treat your glaucoma.

i live in tx. will be last state in the union to get on board. and as embarrassing as it is i have yet to visit a rec smoke state yet. even more embarrassing is i am not completely clued in on it. (i rarely smoke anymore)
but for the sake of freedom, can i go into a dispensary in any rec state and buy green with no license and no record of purchase?

What will be the rules on where you can do this? I'm guessing casino's are not going to allow it like cigarettes? What about walking the strip?

there's a bill that hasn't been passed yet which allows for permitting for smoking zones. each property would need to receive its own permit. then, the casino would be allowed to decide where you can smoke weed on their property.

it's not legal to walk down the strip smoking a joint but it could be in the near future.

weed is already fully legal here, but sales aren't available yet. July 1st is the date when recreational sales will begin

Yeah, I had decided early on I never wanted to move to Vegas because of the prevalence of glaucoma. It seems to hit so many at such an early age too.

unfortunately, the only government approved device for ingesting weed is one of those gas mask bongs. hate to break that to you.

LOL. Seriously though in every rec state I've been to (CO, WA, OR) edibles are like at least half of what the smoke shop displays.

I know many of the shop owners down western/commerce/industrial area... they are understandably excited.

half of the shops in town would have closed if recreational had failed. some of these places are really dead, they are losing tons of money.
90% of the shops don't even grow their own weed. so they're just a standard retail shop with crazy overhead.

there's still a massive weed black market here that will be obliterated. kinda sucks for me because i already have a medical card. the number of customers is going to jump like 20x overnight. gonna have to wait in line behind these ****ers

There are a couple "super shops" and a new one being built right next to the jewelers... the little shops are struggling for sure, but I dont see them closing their doors.
Been inside reef and apothecary grow facilities, they are quite impressive.

It's actually pretty casual; in fact, I don't think the term "dispensary" is really even used for the rec shops. It's just a shop that sells cannabis. No biggie.

Cash sales only, if I recall correctly (long term memory gain!)

Of course, just the fact that you are reading this (let alone posting to this thread) puts you on a list, somewhere, I'm sure.

Is there an emoticon with a tin-foil hat? There should be...

It's like going into a bar, they're just making sure you're 21. They don't scan them or anything like I've heard they do in some states.

Edit: To your last question:

My understanding is that since weed is still considered illegal on the federal level all these rec places are cash only and NO cc.

this is just something I read in a marijuana site...could be completely wrong

If anyone gets to a dispensary tomorrow, I'd love to hear about the experience, and especially if they record your ID or not. I don't mind if they check ID at the door, but I really don't want to get into a database.

(Don't want to lose my concealed carry rights just because I bought a sack of recreational weed).

Black market will probably be OK due to the high level of taxation on legal herb. Welcome the new State of Nevada Cartel.
