Earlier this month, pro-cannabis Nevada Senator Tick Segerblom proposed Senate Bill 236, which if passed, would allow local governments in the state to issue licenses to businesses for public marijuana consumption. While the state has legalized recreational marijuana — which could go into effect as soon as July 1st — it restricts where people can enjoy it, limiting usage to the privacy of one’s own home. That complicates things for the 40 million-plus tourists that annually descend upon Las Vegas alone, many of whom would technically be committing a crime by using cannabis products in hotel rooms or on the strip, even if they bought legally from a local dispensary like Reef.

Without destinations to enjoy cannabis publicly, tourists will inevitably roll the dice and light up wherever they choose. Without boundaries, we may see clouds of smoke in places that we don’t want to see them, such as family destinations, pools, or sports events. This may be less out of defiance and more based on inconvenience or a plain misunderstanding of the law. Just as tobacco smoking is unlawful at restaurants and open-container alcohol is limited to the Las Vegas Strip, mapping out select destinations for cannabis use will help avoid confusion and define clear perimeters for tourists and locals alike.

As a solution, Segerblom’s bill suggests the idea of cannabis social clubs, much like the “coffeeshops” in Amsterdam, where adults could publicly enjoy cannabis without penalty. Given that Las Vegas generates over $5 billion per year from the casinos — an estimated 1/10 of that from nightclubs — the prospect of cannabis-infused nightlife is very exciting. Here’s what Vegas might look like in the near future if Senate Bill 236 passes.
