Gaming Policy panel to look at recreational marijuana
By Richard N. Velotta, Las Vegas Review-Journal
The state Gaming Policy Committee is going to pot this week as top gaming policymakers, including Gov. Brian Sandoval, will discuss whether there’s a possible point of entry for recreational marijuana among Nevada’s tourism assets.
It’s going to be a tough sell, given Nevada regulators’ stance on marijuana in the past.
On one hand, you have supporters who see Nevada’s new legalization of pot use as another draw. On the other side are those who point to the federal government view that marijuana use is still illegal by statute.
