After reviewing more than 50 application for two days, members of the Las Vegas City Council gave Phil Ivey and another 25 applicants "thumbs up" to sell marijuana for medical purpose in Las Vegas.

Imagine going into a marijuana shop and seeing Phil Ivey behind the counter, you would think that the hallucinations had started early!! Knowing him, he will probably make a fortune out of this as well

Pochui, I would expect nothing less of you trying it before selling it. They you have an honest rating of the weed
Phil loves making money, but if he really wants a lucrative business, he should ask those friends of him from Macao (u know, those members of the Triad whom he helped drying out). They would teach him a couple of new tricks I'm sure. Nevada maybe voted yes on medical weed, but I think the casinos don't want many 'unmotivated' customers with a great hunger for cookies and stuff. They won't play with or spend on anything.

Phil 'Polarizing' Ivey has finally strung together a few good sessions in November,but by far the biggest winner so far this month is Cort 'thecortster' Kibler-Melby, who finds himself up an incredible $560K. That entire sum was earned in roughly 6.5 hours playing $2K/$4K 2-7 Triple Draw against Alex 'Alexonmoon' Luneau, who is now down a nauseating $355K in November.

...you would then be peddling 'exquisitely shaved' buds and balls...!
Now this article makes perfect sense - apparently he have to make up some dough somehow for that new lawsuit he's about to loose, because liquidity is the name of the game and even though he make insane sums playing cards, the lawyers could chew up a sizeable chunk of his savings if he's not aware enough.

I really do not know why a poker pro like Ivey would go in this kind of business i know that the business is a very good money maker but IMO he should concentrate in is main occupation playing poker which provided him the money he have now.
Exactly. Apparently medical weed/legal weed sellers are still having hard time even with opening bank accounts for their business since state laws and federal laws are differentiate on the legality of marijuana in many states where they decriminalized it not so long ago.
