Douglas, Carson counties not allowing pot sales
Even though recreational marijuana is now legal in Nevada, it doesn’t mean it’s available in every county.
While voters said yes to marijuana, ultimately it’s up to each county’s elected officials to say yes or no.
Douglas County commissioners earlier this year said it’s one vice they don’t want.
Carson City elected won’t allow the sale of pot until Sept. 19.
That means Washoe County is the closest place in Northern Nevada to legally obtain recreational marijuana.
California will allow recreational marijuana sales on Jan. 1, but it’s up to each municipality to regulate it.
