KNOWTHE LAW<br />
Protect Yourself!<br />
Despite the fact that Nevada has recognized the<br />
legal use of marijuana for medical purposes since late<br />
2000 (1), the state’s medical marijuana program is still in<br />
its infancy.<br />
Many law-abiding patients have had negative experiences<br />
with law enforcement agencies simply due to the fact<br />
that some law enforcement officers may not yet fully<br />
understand a state’s medical marijuana laws. In these<br />
situations, law enforcement may be unable to do their job<br />
(to protect and serve) to the best of their ability through<br />
no specific fault of their own.<br />
What does this mean for medical<br />
marijuana patients and caregivers<br />
living or visiting the<br />
state of Nevada?<br />
No matter where you travel it is always important to be<br />
familiar with local and state laws and regulations that may<br />
pertain to you. In this case, learning the facts about MMJ<br />
in Nevada, so you can understand your rights and responsibilities<br />
as a patient or caregiver.<br />
