Las Vegas Nevada, October 2021. The Las Vegas cannabis
business convention returns.
This planet has evolved in many ways since we’ve last
been here. Not only has the world faced a life-changing
pandemic. The Las Vegas cannabis scene has also
evolved into quite a prosperous and profitable industry.
It seems a no brainer that Las Vegas would embrace
this increasingly profitable industry that has mind
altering effects. After all the whole city was built on
welcoming people to a place that is intoxicating in
every way possible.
Why would cannabis be any different?
It has evolved and is continuing to do so. There is still a
ways to go but we’ve taken many steps already.
Although the laws have evolved and possession and
consumption of cannabis is now legal, there is still
plenty of gray area. Anyone over the age of 21 can
possess 1 ounce/28 g of cannabis flower. Or 1/8 of an
ounce/3.5 g of concentrated marijuana. Dispensaries
are plentiful so finding some thing is not a problem.
And there is some amazing quality both in flower and
concentrates.
Federal laws prohibit possession and consumption in
public and in any federal area which includes quite a
few places. As always be careful of your surroundings.
That being said we are in Las Vegas for a cannabis
convention after all. Although there are rules and regulations
which prohibit many things from happening,
clubs and private parties can be very cooperative in
ignoring the cannabis community enjoying themselves.
There is no consumption of cannabis allowed on the
convention floor however there is a smoking area set
up that can be a very fun area to see friendly faces and
share some smoke.
Of course sharing smoke is quite different this time
around. Most people were privately smoking their
own joints and using their own personal equipment.
Covid has turned sharing into something different but
our community will always come together to share a
session in someway.
