The Latest: Tourists buy in to recreational pot in Nevada

The Latest on Nevada becoming the fifth state in the U.S. with stores selling marijuana for recreational purposes (all times local): 12:30 p.m.

Minnesota resident Edgar Rosas Lorenzo on Saturday flew with his family to Sin City for a wedding. But even before he checked in to his hotel, he stopped at a pot dispensary on the Las Vegas Strip.

The 21-year-old says he learned of the legalization of recreational marijuana in Nevada while he was at the airport waiting for his flight to depart. He waited in line about 40 minutes before he could buy one-eighth of an ounce of marijuana and hemp wraps.
