Nevada’s famous Las Vegas “Sin City” is known for its tolerance of
taboo activities, and now they can add recreational marijuana to their
list of vices available in the city! Medicinal cannabis was legalized on
November 7th, 2000, but the first medical marijuana dispensaries were
not opened until the summer of 2015. Initiative Petition 1, which
legalized marijuana use for anyone over the age of 21, was passed on
November 8th 2016.
As of yesterday(Saturday July 1, 2017) Recreational Cannabis sales are being made! Nevada State Senator Tick Segerblom made the state’s first recreational purchase at Reef’s Las Vegas Strip location at midnight, and adults over the age of 21 are lining up around the state to take part in history!
Weed
was decriminalized in Nevada, but now is entirely legal for adults.
This means that the penalties for possession and distribution are
greatly reduced from what they are in other parts of the country.
In 2013, more than a decade after voters approved a medical marijuana initiative, the Nevada Legislature finally voted in favor of safe, regulated access to medical cannabis. In addition to allowing medical cannabis dispensaries, the revised law provides protections for some out-of-state patients and increases cultivation and possession limits. Unfortunately, it also prohibits some patients from growing their own medicine.
NOTE: Nevada is slightly stricter about cause for DUI charges. While the rest of the West Coast has set a legal limit of 5 Nanograms/mL of blood, in Nevada it is 2 Nanograms/ml. Also, cultivation of marijuana without a medical card is a felony.
