About This Episode:

Everybody’s heard “whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas,” but when it comes to cannabis policy, much of what Nevada has done could work wonders in other states. 

In our latest episode, Jordan Wellington and Tyler Klimas, the former Executive Director of the Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board, take a long, in-depth look at how Nevada formed its cannabis regulatory policies and the emphasis it puts on accountability, transparency, and making sure regulators have the public’s trust. 

It has by no means been smooth sailing from Day 1, but as Jordan and Tyler discuss, the state has taken a compelling approach to non-compliance and making sure people feel heard when regulations are formulated. The two also speak at length about how the state created its guidelines on cannabis consumption lounges and how states can ensure that good ideas become good systems.
