Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak signed a bill this week to license and regulate cannabis consumption lounges. The law is a big deal for Nevada’s cannabis industry because it has been illegal to smoke, vape, or eat marijuana products anywhere except for a private home.

(It’s a misdemeanor to consume in public and hotels and casinos have banned cannabis consumption.)
