Nipton CA Marijuana Mecca
SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CA (3TV/CBS 5) -
A Phoenix-based company is trying to take hospitality to a higher level. They’re investing millions on an experiment in the California desert. It all revolves around one thing: cannabis.
When you travel to the edge of the Mohave Desert, about an hour’s drive west of Bullhead City, you reach a tiny, windswept town: Nipton, California.
Population? Depends whom you ask. But everyone agrees less than 40.
“It's like Neverland, you know? You're in your own time zone,” said Cody Benson, who has lived in Nipton since he was 5.
“I've known it to have about three different owners and it hasn't changed much through that time,” Benson said.
Nipton hasn’t changed much in more than a century. The trains from Los Angeles to Salt Lake still pass through like they have since 1905, beneath the backdrop of the mineral-rich mountains that drew people here in the first place.
“They hauled a lot of gold out of here,” said motorcyclist Don Pyorala. “And a lot of silver.”
Yes, Nipton has its roots in the Gold Rush. But the people who now run this place see a chance for major growth in the “Green Rush.”
“This is a cannabis cornucopia, marijuana mecca — whatever somebody wants to call it. Because we're showing something which could be adopted globally. In little old Nipton,” said Stephen Shearin.
Shearin is the project manager for American Green, a Phoenix-based cannabis company that bought the entire 80-acre town last year for $5 million.
Right now, it’s largely a campsite and RV park with a handful of buildings. There are the Whistlestop Cafe, the Trading Post general store, and the five-room Nipton Hotel.
“The vision is that this town evolves into the 80 acres,” he said.
Shearin imagines the nation’s first cannabis-friendly hospitality destination, with a wellness center featuring marijuana treatments, cannabis-infused bottled water and plenty of lodging for cannabis-related concerts and events.
“Is this ‘Pot Town?’” No,” said Shearin, who thinks the word “pot” implies illegal marijuana. “This a town that has a mature approach to the inclusion of cannabis in its economy.”
California’s economy started allowing recreational marijuana Jan. 1 and American Green wants to capitalize. But there are some legal challenges: San Bernardino County does not allow recreational marijuana sales or cultivation in unincorporated areas, like Nipton.
“How can you be the marijuana Mecca without selling marijuana?” asked reporter Derek Staahl.
“San Francisco never mined an ounce of gold yet their football team's called the 49ers after the Gold Rush,” responded Shearin.
He says people who visit Nipton will just have to bring their own cannabis.
The county isn’t the only concern. There is only one road in or out of Nipton and it cuts cuts right through federal land. The feds still consider marijuana a Schedule 1 drug and that could make this tiny town a target.
“I would love a crackdown here!” Shearin said sarcastically. “Crack down. Arrest me. Chain me to the post. Take me to federal prison. Because what, I manage a property where people are following their state's law?”
Nipton will comply with all state and local laws, he said, including strict rules about where people can and cannot light up.
Nipton hospitality manager Freddie Wyatt says the privately owned nature of the town will give Nipton an edge over other “cannabis tourism” spots like Las Vegas, where there are significant restrictions on where marijuana can be used.
“Where you going [in Las Vegas]? Can't go to your hotel. It's illegal. All the casinos are saying it's illegal. Not allowed to smoke in your room; you get fined. So what are you going to do, walk outside and smoke a joint?” he said.
Wyatt thinks Nipton can attract the cannabis community to make the long drive through the desert by going green with solar energy, and even using hemp products for construction.
“We have all the ingredients to make ourselves self-sufficient. So I think once we get there, then we can just build from within. Make it a cool place to get 400 guests a weekend -- that's great. We don't need 3,000 people out here to be successful. We just need the right people to be successful,” he said.
So far, the people who have lived in Nipton for a while like the idea.
“They've definitely done so much with the town already. Cleaned it all up. I don't see them going away. I think they want to make a name for themselves here,” said Benson.
Benson says after more than a century, this tiny town could use some big change.
Trailblazers: American Green
In 2017, Nipton, California was purchased by American Green, a publicly traded company dedicated to the emerging cannabis market including marijuana-dispensing vending machines, a dispensary-locator app, and seed-to-sale tracking solutions. Before American Green bought Nipton, this magical desert town was known for mining during the California Gold Rush, and now the Green Rush. Nipton has become a hub for art and nature education, but mainly a host location for cannabis tourism.
Nipton is now becoming a place of healing where guests can enjoy nature and cannabis together. American Green announced that the small town would be the first energy-independent, cannabis driven city in the United States, with people who want to work and embrace the cannabis lifestyle. This is the reason why many people visit Nipton, but often find themselves staying longer, Most people come for a few minutes and wind up staying an afternoon, or like Jim there; he came for a few minutes, and stayed for nine years. Many residents like Jim are now living their dreams in this magical desert town.

American Green Vending machine demo@Nipton
Checked out the ongoing renovations at the Nipton Trading Post being undertaken by the new owner, marijuana company, American Green. This video is of my host, Mr. Smalls of American Green, giving me a demo of the AG vending machine inside the trading post. He stated that AG cbd products, made from hemp and legal in all 50 states, will be in the machine for sale soon. He also specifically mentions Paw Puddy products and others will also be available through the machine. I was impressed with this machine and my host, who graciously answered all my questions and gave me the nickel tour of the Hotel Nipton next door as well! Sorry for the shaky video, I have benign tremor, and a volume issue with my cell phone, a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.

Video taken in front of the Whistlestop Cafe at American Green's Nipton property. Also shown is the exterior of the Nipton Trading Post. This is a cannabis friendly outpost in California's Mojave Desert and is located close to Las Vegas as well as the Nevada state line. Notice that a local resident nonchalantly walks through while I was filming. Filmed with my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.

Magical Nipton Promo Video
Magical Nipton held its first outdoor movie night on April 20th. Although the weather was less than ideal for putting up a 40 foot inflatable movie screen, the team improvised and ended up using a tractor trailer as a movie screen, which ended up working very well. Over eighty people attended the event and because of the high winds, guests ended up driving their cars in front of the movie screen which turned the Nipton desert into a very cool drive-in theater with glowing tipis in the background. The feedback the following day was fantastic and the Nipton team is currently working on making the Magical Nipton Drive-in Theater an ongoing concept in Nipton. We are very excited to revitalize the drive-in theater concept in Magical Nipton and think that it will be a very popular attraction for Las Vegas locals. We will keep you informed with all drive-in updates as they come in.

HAGEN CANYON TRAIL RED ROCK CANYON STATE PARK, CA
Red Rock Canyon State Park is located 25 miles northeast of the town of Mojave California. The cool thing about this park is the colors and the rock formations that are very unique to this particular state park. It even has a rock that looks like a camel. In this adventure my good friend Robyn and I hike the 1.2-mile Hagen Canyon Trail which is extremely scenic for being so short.
