Nevada regulators have approved the state\u2019s first conditional licenses for marijuana consumption lounges\u2014bringing three operators one step closer to opening the cannabis social use spaces for adults.<\/p>\n
The Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board (CCB) first announced in November that it had granted 40 prospective consumption lounge licenses<\/a> for businesses that had submitted the requisite documentation. With Tuesday\u2019s action, three of those entities have now moved on to the next phase, receiving authorization to continue building out the lounges, which could then open pending a final inspection and local approval.<\/p>\n The businesses that received the conditional licenses are Planet 13, The Venue at Sol Cannabis and Thrive Cannabis Marketplace.<\/p>\n CCB also moved<\/a> at its Tuesday meeting to adopt revised regulations to \u201callow for greater flexibility in air ventilation requirements for cannabis consumption lounges further reducing barriers of entry for all potential licensees including social equity applicants.\u201d<\/p>\n To live stream the board meeting, visit: https:\/\/t.co\/hDqzp9wGdm<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/ppqCM8TuSE<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board (@NevadaCCB) June 20, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n Of the 40 provisional licenses that were granted late last year, 20 were awarded to new independent businesses, with half of those going to social equity applicants. The other 20 were for existing cannabis retailers that planned to open up social use areas.<\/p>\n Regulators received about 100 applications for the new license type<\/a>\u00a0during a 10-day application window in October.<\/p>\n This latest development comes two years after then-Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) signed a bill<\/a> from Assemblyman Steve Yeager (D) legalizing consumption lounges.<\/p>\n CCB\u00a0approved regulations for marijuana lounges<\/a> last summer. The law could also allow businesses that couple cannabis with yoga, serve infused food, offer THC-aided massage therapy or incorporate marijuana in other ways.<\/p>\n The former governor touted Nevada\u2019s lounge law in a 4\/20 op-ed for Marijuana Moment<\/a>\u00a0this year, writing: \u201cThe idea isn\u2019t new, but no one is doing it like we are in Nevada.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhile most of the consumption lounges in other states don\u2019t offer food, beverages or other entertainment options,\u201d he said, \u201cNevada\u2019s lounges will be a one-stop entertainment shop to create jobs, grow the industry and boost our economy.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Under the board-approved rules, consumption must be hidden from public view. Smoking and vaping must take place in a separate room of the lounge or be prohibited entirely. Single-use or ready-to-consume cannabis products can\u2019t be brought off-site. And businesses must provide water to every guest free of charge.<\/p>\n The lounges will also be cannabis-only. No alcohol, tobacco or nicotine products can be sold.<\/p>\n Other safety-related regulations require lounges to establish plans to limit cannabis-impaired driving and minimize workers\u2019 exposure to secondhand smoke. Guns are prohibited, surveillance is required and procedures must be in place to reduce and respond to potentially violent or harassing behavior.<\/p>\n Single-use cannabis products are limited to no more than 3.5 grams of usable cannabis under the regulations, with \u201cextracted inhalable cannabis products\u201d (such as vaping or dabbing products) limited to 300 milligrams of THC. All single-use products with more than 1 gram of usable cannabis, and all extracted inhalables, must carry written potency warnings.<\/p>\n Individual servings of ready-to-consume edible products are capped at 10 milligrams THC, a fairly standard amount in states that have legalized cannabis for adult use.<\/p>\n Topicals, meanwhile, are limited to 400 milligrams of THC. Transdermal patches and all other cannabis products can have no more than 100 milligrams THC and must carry a written warning if they have more than 10 milligrams.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the current governor of Nevada signed a large-scale marijuana reform bill<\/a> last week that more than doubles the legal personal possession limit, consolidates licensing rules and broadens eligibility for participation in the market by people with prior felony convictions.<\/p>\n Gov. Joe Lombardo (R) also signed a bill this month that will create a new working group to study psychedelics<\/a>\u00a0and develop a plan to allow regulated access for therapeutic purposes.<\/p>\n Additionally,\u00a0the legislature also recently approved a resolution<\/a>\u00a0urging Congress to federally legalize marijuana.<\/p>\n Biden Review Must Fully Deschedule\u2014And Not Merely Reschedule\u2014Marijuana To Resolve State-Federal Conflicts (Op-Ed)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n Photo courtesy of Martin Alonso<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Nevada Regulators Approve First Marijuana Consumption Lounge Conditional Licenses<\/a> appeared first on Marijuana Moment<\/a>.<\/p>\n
