Author: Kyle Jaeger

The governor of Nevada has signed a bill to legalize marijuana consumption lounges in the state.

The legislation cleared the Assembly last month and was then approved by the Senate last week before being signed by Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) on Friday.

Sponsored by Assemblyman Steve Yeager (D), the bill would create two new licensing categories for cannabis businesses in the state. One would be for “retail cannabis consumption lounges” and the other would be an “independent cannabis consumption lounge.”

Independent lounges could enter into a contract with an existing retailer to purchase and prepare ready-to-consume marijuana products for resale.
