Vegas Casinos to allow Cannabis Lounges.

[iv4n]

...
- I do think that this is a step taken by both casinos and the government to ensure that people loose more, so that they do not care about what they are doing and at the end both the casinos and the government will make more money this way.
I surely think that this might not be the way to go, alcoholic drinks are served in the casinos for a reason. I do think that this might be a "happy news" for most people but at the same time you should realize that this is something that will drastically reduce your chances of winning.

This is some hardcore thinking... It's not like I see it the first time, but every time it got me! Let's blame alcohol and weed for all the problems in the world... let's blame them for all the problems in our lives! Yea... the problem is in anything and everything around, just not in us!

This is some next level thinking by the casinos. I remember when visiting Las Vegas that a lot of people were smoking weed outside. If its allowed in Nevada, why not make a few cool lounges. There are a lot of different people on Vegas, some like to celebrate with getting drunk, others enjoy dinner at a 5 star restaurant and others want to smoke weed. Nothing wrong with it. The only problem could be gambling while being high, we could lose a lot of money.

Nice comment! I can't agree more with your words here... the next level of thinking by the casinos! If people enjoy it why not make something for them? People enjoy different things, we don't need to have prejudices and to judge others... enjoy in what you like, and let others enjoy in what they like!

The only problem with gambling is the possibility of losing a lot of money! Being high or drunk doesn't change the outcome of the game...

Apparently according to a recent news the Gambling Casinos in Vegas are going to allow Cannabis Lounges. In Nevada it's not restricted if you do it in your own house.

They will let people go High while Playing so the people are not aware of their expenses and their decisions towards gambling isn't normal and will lose tons of money each time.

They are only trying to make life easy and well comforting for gamblers so there will be no need of going outside the casino to take it when everything is right available. This is another business strategy of winning customers' heart by making them more addicted to the casino since everything that might be a need is right available.

means they are targeting gamblers and addict together.

I think that a person who uses cannabis will also use it without special rooms, for example in his car or just on the street... So the emergence of such special rooms would not change much...
So now it will be much easier for people who like to smoke weed and gamble in casinos to do it!

this wont affect the mind of the gambler if he watch his intakes but they could still loose if they are in a badluck and the people that are high from canabis could still win if they are in a good luck .
they could win more infact because theres a tendency that they will bet higher when the effects of canabis kicks in .
 this campaign will be verry effective if done in countries where canabis is illegal because people will have a reason to play even if they are not into gambling .

This is going to be very bad for the casinos. The gamblers who lose money can always claim that they got hallucinated on weed and then they may sue the casino for their losses. And in case some conservative judge is hearing the case, then he may side with the gambler and may slap a fine on the casino to the tune of a few million USD. Do the casinos want to take this risk? I have no issues in making cigarettes or alcohol available in the casinos. But going for weed is like stretching it a bit too far.

Cannabis is a herbal medicine, and not bad to our health as long as we know our limitations. Casinos offering this kind of thing I guess have a good effect on gamblers such as;

- Calmness
- Active braincells
- Productive
- Cure a disease (like asthma for example, etc...)

Those I've mentioned above sometimes vary on the user, it has different effect from each everyone of the users. Cannabis smoking is much better than smoking tobacco in a casino which is deadly (secondhand smoke) that could cause lung cancer, so on and so forth.

So I don't have any bad comments about this as long as their government agreed with it.

pros and cons because in some countries cannabis is legal and a necessity...

I don't think anyone will dare sue the casino when the cannabis user loses money because from the start they should have known that cannabis makes 'intoxicated' just like the liquor in the casino. the users who should be responsible for themselves.

[cl0wn]

It's about time they allow using cannabis everywhere unless it affects anyone around you. I cannot believe that in this day and age we still have all the old laws for weed. I've been smoking every now and then for almost 8 years now (not on a daily basis). It's not killing anyone. Alcohol is way worse, but we've all heard that already.

Lol! I wish my country also allows canabis to be sold as a legal product. Because canabis is literally available everywhere but just as an illegal substance. But any tom-dick&Harry can get it easily no matter where they are.

But what Las Vegas is doing has a business equation behind it. Canabis makes you hallucinate and think less about your self and existence. So casinos are eyeing for more revenue per player through this move. Anyway, gambling is all about entertainment so I see no harm in make that entertainment more colorful.

Not all drug addict loss their sense during gambling. Hard drugs react differently to different people. It makes some wild while to others it makes them wiser and for some it calms their nerves. So introducing cannabis to casinos in Vegas could be a bit risky because it would arouse different behavior to winnings and losses. Hard drugs brings out the hidden identity of a calm dove. This might not be a good idea for me.

The main use of cannabis is to calm down people with some disorder and relieve stress. But when you overdose, It will give you side effect which is hallucinations and I believe this the concern of OP for bringing this topic. I don't think so that players hitting it will only hit moderately because weeds is so addictive and most the gamblers are easy to become addicted. The chance of winning after a session of weeds is too low compared when you are on the right mind.

Gambling is a business both to the casinos and the government so therefore if cannabis would manipulate the state of mind of the gamblers causing them to loose more then both parties would love to adopt the strategy. But what if it gets into becoming an addict to the gambler wouldn't it cause some level of coarse coupled with tension both to the gamblers and the casino alike.

Unless if the Casino would be giving out some limitation or just the right amount that they would able to smoke on? which is really impossible.

There no other reason on why they do come up with this idea but to take advantage into its players because playing while you are in the influence of weed is totally when you are in your normal mind.

Its just way too obvious on what they are trying to do here and thats an another sorry thing for those gamblers who do play on that place.

[dezoel]

I do not really get all the people who claim "this will cause people to lose a lot" when people have been drinking in Las Vegas and hell even doing drugs illegally there for years, if you are a gambler who started to wager some certain amount of money, casinos usually give you free drinks to get you drunk so you would keep gambling and lose your money, in a world where drinking is seen as a part of Vegas experience, how come smoking pot would be any different?

I am not saying that it will not cause you to lose more, it WILL cause you to lose more for sure, anyone who is high would not have enough brain power to keep gambling and winning, they will lose more than they should, hell maybe they will lose more than they could afford and destroy their lives who knows? But that's not new in Vegas, it has been a thing for a century now thanks to booze, it is just optional from now on that's it.

[passwordnow]

Nothing wrong with it. The only problem could be gambling while being high, we could lose a lot of money.

And that might be the reason why they've allowed. For the reason to make people lose themselves and get out of their control so that they can make more money from those people that are enjoying doing such but not noticing that they're in a serious situation. And in the end, it's too late for them to notice that they're losing more money although in their mindset, they've enjoyed a bit.

[Oceat]

It might be interesting if all of the cannabis lovers would go to casino just to pop some and I know some famous people who do it. Maybe it's a good idea if it's a personal request from their customers and I don't know what the other cause and effect of cannabis but some people tells that it helps them to relax while in terms of thinking it may be useful because all what they see is a slow moving phase which is kind of funny because it's what on their mind.

Maybe this will help when they were playing inside the casino but I'm there's another problem going to raise after that.

I don't think cannabis is a drug enhancing risky habits in general and risky gambling habits in particular. So I'm not sure it will help casino houses to take more money from those players. In fact I think it will certainly help some gamblers to stop playing actually.

For added entertainment purposes, that make sense. As per the article, the legislature is yet to define what types of marijuana products will be allowed so it means every type is not welcome or maybe the most commonly used type won't be considered to ensure that the lounge will be limited only for entertainment purposes.

Reading through, doing gambling, and alcohol will likely be prohibited in cannabis lounges which I think to prevent possible mixed emotions and unnecessary actions inside the lounge.

"What is known so far is that lawmakers are planning to start by licensing 20 cannabis launches initially" - additional revenues or tax?

This topic is always debatable but I reckon the one who should be explaining about it is the one who tried it for a very long time. There are artists, singer, actors who used cannabis for example Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne and Wiz Khalifa although I don't see them playing gambling but let's just say they were since they were using cannabis for their daily lives and yet I don't see any problem at all with them because even in their live concert they were using it too.

Does that affect their entire behavior? No, I don't think so.

Its more a freedom then an active element to influence gambling outcomes, now people wont have to sit in their hotel room to smoke they can do it while they gamble which is great and reflects the changing laws on a relatively harmless drug.   It'd be great publicity for Casinos to bring in some celebrities like Snoop Dogg, I can see them sponsoring him to come play on that basis to emphasise the change as who is more iconic then him.   He was involved in a few game launches and streams on twitch, he left the channel open all night once by accident which is pretty funny but nice he is a real character people appreciate.
