Planet 13 Supports the Creation of Cannabis Compliance Board to Oversee the Nevada Cannabis Industry

LAS VEGAS , Feb. 7, 2019 /CNW/ - Planet 13 Holdings Inc. (PLTH.CN) (PLNHF) ("Planet 13" or the "Company"), a leading vertically-integrated Nevada cannabis company, commends the proposal by Governor Sisolak to create the Cannabis Compliance Board ("CCB") which will review recent licensing procedures, including the most recent licensing round announced on December 5, 2018 . The CCB will also oversee the development of future legislation including that governing consumption lounges.

" Nevada's gaming industry is seen as the international gold standard, and there is no reason we cannot take steps to ensure our marijuana industry is viewed the same way," Sisolak said in a statement according to recent media reports.

Bob Groesbeck said, "We support the creation of the CCB and believe that this step will enable Nevada to continue to build on its growing reputation as a preeminent destination for cannabis. The gaming industry has benefited from working closely with informed regulators to create a better industry to the benefit of all participants. We expect that the CCB will foster the growth of the cannabis industry in the same way by ensuring adherence to best practices, and thereby enhancing the overall reputation and success of the growing cannabis industry in the State. Placing the review of the recent licensing process as well as the decision for consumption lounges under the CCB ensures transparent, fair, and consistent legislation and we look forward to working with the CCB as we continue to grow our Superstore footprint."

The Proposed CCB would be responsible for reviewing the Department of Taxation's regulatory structure and licensing procedures as well as potential consumption lounges along with other cannabis related topics.
