The former mayor of Las Vegas and a current state senator were among the first Nevadans to legally purchase recreational marijuana on Saturday as the Silver State became the fifth in the nation where adults can legally buy weed without a doctor’s recommendation.
A total of 44 dispensaries were authorized to begin selling recreational pot to customers starting at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, and hundreds of of customers lined up outside Nevada’s pot shops to be among the first patrons of the state’s recreational weed program.
