Nevada Becomes Latest State In US To Legalize Weed

Nevada, has become the latest state in the US to legalize the selling of weed/marijuana for recreational purpose. People, both locals and tourists alike started purchasing the drug shortly after midnight on Saturday.

The legalization was approved by voters last November. The state joins the likes of Colorado, Oregon, Washington and Alaska in allowing adults to buy a drug that is still banned by the FG.

A massive amount of people queued up at the Source dispensary, at a Las Vegas-area strip mall on Saturday morning. 

State senator Tick Segerblom, one of the main proponents of marijuana legalization in Nevada, made the first purchase. A cheer erupted when the doors opened. Those 21 and older with a valid ID can buy up to 1oz of pot.

Even though tourists are expected to make nearly two out of every three purchase in Nevada, it still remains illegal to light it up in public or drive under the influence of marijuana as defaulters are to be fined $600.
