Cannabis manufacturer buys the town in the desert

American Green Inc., one of the largest American cannabis producers, has purchased the entire land belonging to Nipton in California.

The new owners want to build a town on the route of former gold races, about 95km from Las Vegas, which will be converted into a destination that will be “independent and open to marijuana”, Kosovas Press broadcast.

Current landowner Roxanne Lang said the deal has not yet entered into force, but has confirmed that American Green is the buyer.

When her late husband in 1985 had purchased Nipto, it was the desolate city of spirits, which turned her into an exclusive destination for desert worshipers.

Some 20 inhabitants live in the town.
