Recreational pot sales back on table along Nevada-Utah line

(Marcio Jose Sanchez | The Associated Press) In this Feb. 14, 2018, file photo, marijuana plants are displayed at a dispensary in Berkeley, Calif. U.S. health officials say a closely watched medicine made from the marijuana plant significantly reduces seizures in children with severe forms of epilepsy and warrants approval in the U.S. The Food and Drug Administration posted its review Tuesday, April 17, of the experimental medication ahead of a public meeting later this week.

West Wendover, Nev. • The legal sale of recreational marijuana on the Nevada-Utah line may not be banned after all.

The mayor of West Wendover, Nevada is using his veto power to put the question back on the table.

The City Council voted earlier to ban recreational pot sales in the town along U.S. Interstate 80 on the Utah line.

But Mayor Daniel Corona vetoed that decision Tuesday night, reopening the matter for debate. It wasn’t immediately clear when the city council might take the matter up again.

The council already has approved the sale of medical marijuana.

It granted a license for Deep Roots LLC to operate a medical pot dispensary in October.

Deep Roots is also seeking a permit for recreational sales. It already operates a recreational dispensary in Mesquite.
