☔🔥 Weather Gone Wild

Nature is having a field day in Southern Nevada. Debris from flooding earlier this week shut down the Red Rock Canyon scenic drive yesterday. Meanwhile, the York Fire has reached the outermost edges of Clark County, including our newest national monument, Avi Kwa Ame. An official says the recent rains will help some, but that dry fuels can still feed the fires. The area is under a flash flood warning. (Review-Journal)

🍄 NV Scales Back on Shrooms

A landmark bill on psychedelics from this year’s legislative session has lost some of its teeth. While the original version passed decriminalized the use of psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, the final version signed by Gov. Lombardo only creates a working group to study the use of psychedelics and the impact of decriminalization. Nevada’s current penalties for possession remain in place: Up to 4 years in prison or $5,000 in fines. (Nevada Independent, IndyMatters)
