Carson City Supes say no to Pot Lounges

Carson City’s Board of Supervisors voted on Thursday to ban granting business licenses for marijuana lounges, becoming the first local government to try to enact such a ban after state lawmakers passed a bill legalizing lounges earlier this year. A late amendment to Assemblyman Steve Yeager’s bill gave local governments the power to ban such lounges. Thursday morning, Carson City supervisors voted 4-1 to approve an ordinance banning the bar-like lounges.
