IndustryDevelopments | International & State Nevada The Las Vegas City Council voted to rescind a citywide restriction on marijuana retail drive-thru operations. Marijuana business advocates and other industry stakeholders welcomed the move as one that will promote safety and commerce during the COVID-19 pandemic. Several Nevada jurisdictions already allow marijuana businesses to offer drive-thru service. Las Vegas marijuana retailers that want to add drive-thru options will have to follow regulations under which all other drive-thru facilities in the city currently operate. New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy on Feb. 22 signed a bill into law to implement a projected $1 billion recreational marijuana market. New Jersey is poised to become the largest marijuana market on the East Coast, and adult-use sales could begin before year-end. Rules now must be developed within 180 days. An existing medical cannabis operator could begin adult-use sales immediately after rules are issued-but only if the company can prove it has sufficient supply to meet MMJ demand. Licensing priority will be given to microbusinesses owned by residents as well as applicants from economically hard-hit communities or those impacted by the war on drugs.
