Nipton, California
Just 60 miles south of Las Vegas, American Green, the largest publicly traded cannabis company in the US, bought the town of Nipton for $5 million dollars in 2016. The company plans to start by bottling water (from a nearby aquifer) infused with CBD, the cannabis component linked to relieving pain and inflammation. And from there, American Green hopes to attract like-minded companies to set up shop — CBD and mineral baths, dispensaries, artist-in-residence programs, culinary events, and bed-and-breakfasts — "to complete the charming small-town experience."
