Native American tribe opens huge pot store near Fremont Street in Las Vegas

Las Vegas’ newest retailer of recreational marijuana is also by far one of the biggest. Guests to the sprawling, 10,000-square-foot store are greeted by water walls, and exposed wooden posts and beams that give the place an upscale feel.

Benny Tso, chairman of the tiny Las Vegas Paiute Tribe, said 300 to 500 customers have visited each day since the Oct. 16 opening. He expects that number to rise significantly.


In addition to the wide variety of cannabis-infused products and paraphernalia found at other marijuana retailers, the store sells merchandise such as T-shirts and ball caps. There’s also a display case stocked with THC-laced products for dogs that claim to help with problems such as excessive barking or itching.

The products at NuWu — it means “the people” in the Paiute language — are priced similarly to those at other stores. The tribe pays the same 10% excise tax to the Nevada Department of Taxation. “We’re under a microscope, because we’re tribal,” Tso said. “We want to play fair. We want to be totally transparent.”

And is covered under their treaty. They’ve used the portion that doesn’t have anyone actually buried on it as a tobacco shop for thirty years

I did put them in my carry on ...I would not carry them on in a purse etc. It was soooo wonderful getting to my destination and I was able to relax...right there in the room. Keep on truckin'.

Now if you buy an edible...say a candy bar...who is to really know that's a weed candy bar you got there in your bag...it looks like a regular candy bar....it's a candy bar.
