Smoking legal pot in Las Vegas tricky for tourists

Smoking legal pot in Las Vegas tricky for tourists

The legal use of marijuana is the latest temptation available to tens of millions of people who visit Las Vegas each year. But the law mandates the legally bought marijuana be consumed in a private residence, which puts tourists in a tough spot. Mark Strassmann reports.

    A gram for 18? Nah, we pay 10 a gram out in NY for street gas, even with the law changes I’m gonna keep buying from the streets 🤣🤣💯



  3. @sammicoporsammicopor on March 26, 2024 at 7:32 am

    Buy it but don’t smoke it. Gotta love the logic of politicians that probably smoke cigarettes.



  4. @kickinitwitdani on March 26, 2024 at 7:35 am

    lol make weed cheaper to buy and you won’t have to worry about the federal law



  5. @austinsmith6472 on March 26, 2024 at 7:37 am

    oh trust me ill find a smokin hotel room bs… just ask for a smoking room at the hotel bs



  6. @glinda9243 on March 26, 2024 at 7:38 am

    Make sure you take a one hitter, some "Buddy or Buddy Junior" filters with you so that you can cut down on odor, and smoke spray. 😁



  7. @KingArmani0170 on March 26, 2024 at 7:40 am

    you can drink outside but cant smoke weed 🤣



  8. @andypaccob9442 on March 26, 2024 at 7:40 am

    "…the two shall never meet…" Yeah, okay.

    THE RESTRICTIVE POLICY IS UN-CONSTITUTIONAL. .HOTELS ARE YOUR PRIVATE RENTED SPACE AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE EXCLUDED AS IN A PASSANGER CAR. BOTH PRIVATE PROPERTY. THE LAS VEGAS POLICYS ARE ARCHIC AND UTTERLY RIDICULESS. MARIHUANA IS NON TOXIC AND A SAFE PSYCHIATRIC MEDICINE AND STRONGER AND MORE BENEFICIAL THAN THE OTHER CONVENTIONAL "medicines"!



  11. @user-xf6gw9on4f on March 26, 2024 at 7:42 am

    instead of "safes paces" for the snowflakes, they should create smoke – spaces



  12. @arialisestrellaartistry on March 26, 2024 at 7:45 am

    I went this past week and we were smoking BLUNTS, we even tried the marijuana slushie <3



  13. @schneir5 on March 26, 2024 at 7:46 am

    I’m so glad that I got my medical card here instead of traveling to a state with legal recreational.



  14. @ronevergrow8319 on March 26, 2024 at 7:46 am

    Las Vegas dispensary has garbage weed, I live here, its because it’s so dry out here 20-30%RH ( our Tobacco is garbage, wraps etc as soon as it arrives) and most dispensary owners – ( foreigners thats growers, people that dont smoke are growers here etc) – don’t even smoke so they have no idea what quality is🤷‍♂️, it’s all about quantity and Roi ( the description will sound mouth-watering on the Medz but when you get it it taste like some regular old weeds you pulled out your backyard 🤦‍♂️😮🖕,
    0 Terps ) not to mention it’s too much inconsistencies on Strains due to environment stability and Roadrunner curing practices Beep Beep 🏃‍♂️💨 ….



  15. @stankeebler6696 on March 26, 2024 at 7:50 am

    Smoke bars are next.



  16. @BigBoss-gq2nt on March 26, 2024 at 7:50 am

    Fake news they are lying



  17. @guybrodude.1848 on March 26, 2024 at 7:51 am

    Cannabis is better than alcohol, tobacco, & prescription meds. In so many ways…



  18. @thegreatfomo on March 26, 2024 at 7:53 am

    Smoking weed isn’t complicated



  19. @bobanderson1407 on March 26, 2024 at 7:55 am

    The more you gamble the less f^&^cks they give.



  26. @noahalcoser1977 on March 26, 2024 at 7:59 am

    Lol I did it in the street away from people it’s not that deep lol



  27. @fuckayouman3869 on March 26, 2024 at 8:00 am

    the solution is so easy , install some weed smoking cabins around that open with the code in the weed receipt you purchase just like mc donald toilet , you know that some glass cabin with aluminum and bus stop seats will cost less than a team of cops harassing tourists and infect tourism



  28. @PlayhouseRage on March 26, 2024 at 8:03 am

    Dumb as you can smoke BBQ, candles, car exhausts, and Cigarettess all release some sort of chemical change into the air. What’s the dang difference if you do it behind a building where you are not bothering anyone? Politics are the dumbest mofos in the universe



  29. @jenifercannon8649 on March 26, 2024 at 8:05 am

    🌱🌱🌱🌱 So excited now guys just received my weed I order 2days ago from California top dispensary 420marijuanastore.com much love to them 🌱🌱🌱💯

  33. @kenchiishow4362 on March 26, 2024 at 8:08 am

    Who gave you the right to ban a plant, humans seem to be doing the opposite of evolution, just my opinion



  34. @billyvarnell8591 on March 26, 2024 at 8:09 am

    That is silly



  35. @camiam91387 on March 26, 2024 at 8:11 am

  36. @brandonwilliams2551 on March 26, 2024 at 8:12 am

    Have you tried Budd Hub? shop.budd-hub.com/# i think. It was so easy! I got my order delivered in 20 minutes and they had a ton of products to choose from. Literally the hub of bud. Has anyone tried them? It’s like the Doordash for weed. You gotta sign up.



  37. @gennesta9296 on March 26, 2024 at 8:12 am

    I’d gamble a lot more on weed than lame alcohol



  38. @roadrunner2439 on March 26, 2024 at 8:13 am

    I’m in DC I wish we had real Cali weed



  39. @Daftpanthergameing on March 26, 2024 at 8:14 am

    Nobody cares if u smoke bud on the strip the people drinking are more of a threat



  40. @bluehorseshoe5450 on March 26, 2024 at 8:14 am

    If it ain’t the shatter then it don’t matter.



  41. @robinshort2670 on March 26, 2024 at 8:15 am

    6 years later update… smells of weed everywhere downtown. I would smoke outside my hotel every eve 2/3 times and never had a word said to me. It’s everywhere. I’m a tourist from the uk



  42. @davidperry4013 on March 26, 2024 at 8:16 am

    Slot machines really hit different when high especially the ones made by aristocrat gaming.



  43. @meganfelise on March 26, 2024 at 8:16 am

    These people are very out of the loop and do not KNOW pot heads. We ALWAYS have somewhere to smoke!



  44. @viertelvor697 on March 26, 2024 at 8:17 am

    Buy in Vegas but not consum in Vegas, what a stupid Law!!



  45. @jbompton7445 on March 26, 2024 at 8:19 am

    Ha! Everyone smokes weed all over their strip and freemont and inside casinos including me! No one says anything. I walked in front of cops on freemont smoking a joint and they didn’t do anything to me.



  46. @christophermccord3316 on March 26, 2024 at 8:19 am

    The real shame is paying 18 bucks a gram!…. that’s over 500 bucks an ounce…. won’t be hard at all for the illegal market to beat that price….



  47. @marquesjohnson2903 on March 26, 2024 at 8:19 am

    Dats a lie smoke 💨 all on the strip cops didn’t do anything 😭😭😭😂😂



  48. @unkownnenob6739 on March 26, 2024 at 8:20 am

  49. @moose583 on March 26, 2024 at 8:24 am

  50. @Opochtli on March 26, 2024 at 8:25 am
