Hundreds Queue Up In Las Vegas To Buy Marijuana After Legalization(Photos)

The doors flew open at the dot of midnight and the thousands of customers tripped in all eager to make history.


At 12.01am Saturday, Nevada became the fifth state in the US to legalise selling recreational marijuana  and fans of the drug came out in force.

Party town Las Vegas will stand the biggest winner from the new legislation with a huge tax windfall of up to $60million to be raked in the first two years.

Millions of tourists visiting Sin City are expected to make nearly two of every three purchases from marijuana retailers.

Some in the industry have said Vegas which attracts more than 42 million tourists annually will become the ‘mecca for marijuana’ overtaking the likes of Amsterdam in Holland as the world capital of cannabis.


More than 500 people queued up outside the Euphoria Wellness dispensary in Enterprise, on the outskirts of Las Vegas, and cheers erupted as the doors opened.
