Recreational is legal, it's against the law to smoke in public but I still smelt that skunk while I was there recently

Smelled it?
My first time to Vegas was before any legalization, and someone in a neon green light up pot leaf shirt threw open his jacket to try to entice me along the strip.
Seemed like a good way to end up in jail in a far away from home, so I stuck to drinking in the open like a sensible person.
But yeah, I've smelled it too, lol.
Perfect. Thank you!
Agreed. I go somewhat frequently and see/smell people smoking on the strip all the time. Using on the casino floor is probably the only legitimate way to get in trouble.
Also don't buy anything on the strip itself as all those shops are selling hemp or fake weed. The dispensaries off the strip sell the real deal. I typically go to The Reef just off the north end of the strip near the fashion mall.
I've read about there being no actual weed on the strip. My wife hates the taste of pot, so we almost exclusively use Wana fast acting gummies, which are thankfully available at several places in Vegas. I'll be sure to check out The Reef while we are there since we are staying nearby at The Venetian. Actually, I think The Reef is where the guy at my local pot shop told me to buy after we check out Planet 13 for the spectacle.
Thank you!
Are you a regular of MJ? If not, do NOT take edibles. Get a disposable vape. Take a small puff. Wait 15-30 mins. take another small puff. If you're still good after another 15-30 mins, you're probably fine to rip a good one.
I can drink anyone under the table, but I'm a lightweight with weed. Take it slow. Don't end up being so high you have to stay in the hotel room for 36 hours like my wife.
15-30 minutes between puffs? This explains why I've yet to have a good experience with thc. Skipping straight from "is this working?" to "memory resets every six seconds" isn't fun.
Oh, absolutely. Virtually every strain out there is insanely potent these days. Even day to day, my body reacts differently. Sometimes, one puff is all I need. Other times more.
Super regular, but thanks for the warning. I also can't vape because oral cancer - unrelated to smoking - took half my tongue. Doctors aren't keen on vaping after that for some reason.
The fast acting edibles out there now are way more forgiving than traditional as well. They hit much faster so there is less risk of overdoing it.
Area 15 /Omegamart would be incredible stoned.
Lost Spirits is in the same complex and is closing soon, if you're going to Las Vegas in the next few weeks it would be hard to recommend it more highly.
Can confirm. Went to Omegamart baked all to fuck. Had a great time.
That's been part of the plan, but Wifey wasn't sure if we should be baked or sober. I'm going to lobby for baked on this one.
Wait, Lost Spirits is closing?
Damn it, I liked them! ....
Lost Spirits was going to be a highlight of our trip, and we are damn sad that it is closing before we go in July. I wish we could have experienced it.
I hear ya, definitely don't let it put you off from checking out area 15 though, the vibe in there is super cool and worth the visit even without lost spirits IMHO.
It's not gonna be a problem, just don't be obviously impaired. Don't gamble or do any of the more adult shows while in any altered state. Stick to the Strip and Fremont street areas.
Wandering the Strip and Fremont St. experience are both good fun. The ceiling of the mall at the Venetian was extra trippy. The playground at Circus Circus was fun. I'm sure the amusements at New York, New York would be fun too.
Party smart, play safe.
Why go to Vegas if you’re not going to party like Hunter S. Thompson?
Get into that ether, bruv.
You. I've seen you around. You're my kind of bad influence. Lol
We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave... So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high water mark — that place where the wave finally broke, and rolled back.
Why none of the adult shows? Gambling makes sense, and we won't be doing much of that anyway.
We are staying at the Venetian, and now I am doubly looking forward to it.
Lol have fun shopping at planet 13
I felt planet 13 was a tourist trap. I mean unless you want some coffee and gelato. I always go to Reef right down the street.
That is pretty much exactly what the guy at my local pot shop said to me when he learned we were staying at the Venetian. Go to Planet 13 for the experience, then walk down the street to buy your weed.
Your asking if they are prudes about drugs in "Sin City?"
Fremont St was blazed up good my last visit. I don't think an edible is going to draw any attention.
That's great, thanks! I'm looking forward to being blazed on Fremont. We love getting high as hell and exploring new places.
LMAO you will be next to people way higher on stuff way harder than weed no matter where you go in LV. You’ll be fine 😂
Stay under 5mg. Wait at least 4 hours before taking a second gummy. The general tolerance for edibles is lower than smoking. Edibles also last a lot longer and hit harder than smoking.
Definitely don’t drink while high as I would not recommend it unless you were staying put in one place.
Try to follow the crowds; let the locals and other tourists make the first move crossing the streets and crosswalks.
My impression of the cops there is that they are very strict if you’re stumbling around being a danger to the drivers and tourists. Being impaired in Vegas on the street is kinda tolerated since it’s an open container legal place.
Enjoy and stay safe!
Thank you for the advice. We are experienced with edibles, so we know our tolerances well. It helps that the new fast acting edibles make it so much easier to tweak your level of high.
We have navigated NYC high many times, and it's been a blast. Times Square at night while stoned is especially fun. I'm assuming Vegas won't be worse than midtown Manhattan for needing to be aware of traffic, etc.
Thanks again for your thoughts!
