4/20 tour of a top notch grow in Vegas.
Narrator/interviewer/blogger/whatev is kinda goofy, maybe just real stoned, but the guide gives a solid tour.

Sessions has Dea agents in riot gear ready to gun down the first bad people arrogant enough to scoff federal laws. Sometimes you have to take down a few soccer moms and school teachers for the greater good

Weed Week in Review
(other than the nv weed stock that has produced some nice windfalls for a few mags)
prolly need an icon/avatar for this....



Nevada is poised to launch recreational marijuana sales, a cannabis-friendly credit union makes progress in a court case, and Canada’s Canopy Growth is registering losses while expanding its production capacity. Here’s a closer look at some notable developments in the marijuana industry over the past week.

Nevada rec sales begin

Las Vegas is going to look a little more green than usual at 12:01 a.m. Saturday. Recreational marijuana becomes legal in Nevada on July 1, and some medical marijuana dispensaries that received adult-use licenses plan to begin sales after the clock strikes midnight. In Clark County – and, therefore, Las Vegas – rec cannabis shops can stay open until 3 a.m. And at least one shop owner, Larry Doyle of Euphoria Wellness, is ready to go. “It’s huge,” he said. “It’s almost like a Black Friday at a Walmart.”

Andrew Jolly, owner of the Source Dispensary in Las Vegas, is waiting until 9 a.m. Saturday to begin sales, but he’ll have food trucks and a DJ onsite. “I don’t know what the immediate response is going to be,” he said, “but I’m confident over time the word will get out and people will understand you can buy cannabis just like any other product.” Neither owner is concerned about a potential supply-chain issue if a dispute lingers between the Independent Alcohol Distributors of Nevada and the Department of Taxation over who can distribute rec cannabis products. A district court judge ruled in favor of the liquor wholesalers, but the tax department plans to appeal.

Regulators are permitting MMJ dispensaries to service the adult-use market from their existing cannabis supplies. But when that supply runs out, the dispensaries can’t procure additional product until the dispute is settled. Doyle and Jolley expect a deal to be reached before the businesses encounter supply problems. “It’s just a question of when,” Doyle said. “Nobody’s a winner in this situation. So there needs to be a compromise.”

Fourth Corner’s next move

The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals awarded the Fourth Corner Credit Union a partial victory, saying the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Missouri, was wrong to deny the financial institution a master account that would have enabled it to do business with cannabis companies. The court ruled that the Federal Reserve lacks the authority to deny master account applications or to assume the credit union will violate federal law.

Cost of growth

Canopy Growth, the largest licensed medical marijuana producer in Canada, made news because its aggressive expansion plan helped put the company 16.7 million Canadian dollars ($12.84 million) in the red despite posting CA$203 million in sales and doubling its patient base to 58,000. Besides its main Smiths Falls, Ontario, production facility, Canopy has four locations in Ontario, a Quebec location that’s preparing for a pre-licensing inspection by federal regulators and another in New Brunswick that’s being renovated. Canopy is also pursuing a license in Alberta and expanding one it has in Saskatchewan. Bruce Linton, chairman and CEO, estimates Canopy has more than 10,000 square feet of vault space across its multiple locations that will be able to hold between $650 million and $750 million in inventory.

“The way you keep having more value is by diversifying the products. To have the breadth of offerings we want, we need to be looking at triple where we are,” said Linton, noting that Canopy produced 31,000 kilograms (68,200 pounds) of marijuana, tops among Canadian producers.

Nevada was very aggressive about getting legal rec on line and being inclusive (honoring green cards from other states). They obviously see the tourism effect, but the approach has been pretty enlightened. Great to see

Vegas is the new Amsterdam/Denver/Seattle world capital of pot.
So glad to have a front row seat and a buy-in with pot stocks, domains and trademarks that are and will continue yielding some righteous returns.

I am very unhappy that the legal weed sales capture and store personal information about those who purchase.

buy weed in Washoe county. = It goes in a database. the man knows.

= work for the man. The man knows

How? Do they enter your ID info somewhere?

[splat]

Instead of importing weed from other places, they need to allow small organic pot farmers to either supply shops or do farmer's markets.

Nevada has a bit of a weed state of emergency: The state’s recreational pot dispensaries are already running out of product, just days after legal sales started. But the governor is on the case.

Sales started July 1 amid major questions over whether there would be enough supply to meet consumer demand, as the initiative authorizing the sales gave liquor distributors exclusive rights to transport product to dispensaries for the first 18 months of business. Now Gov. Brian Sandoval has stepped in, endorsing a statement of emergency from Nevada’s Department of Taxation proposing emergency regulation to expand who can get a license to transport.

Yep, when you go into the retail area, you are required to hand over your ID. they take your info "Hand Over your DL". then you are allowed into the Store.

= It's fucked up.

I was back home in Trinity Co. last week and the grow boom is insane, and not in a good way. It felt like the worst aspects of the clandestine grows have simply moved out into the open. Lots of shady outsiders buying properties with cash that likely has black market origins, rampant clear-cutting of said properties, illegally drawing irrigation water from creeks and streams, subtle and not-so-subtle intimidation of residents they've moved in on, 100% wild-west style boom. The number of grows seems to far outnumber the quantity of permits the county has issued, but for now enforcement appears minimal. Seems likely that a significant percentage of production is destined for out-of-state black market sale.
