Title:
Nevada: Medical marijuana dispensary vote imminent; act now!

Call or email your assembly member today.
Nearly 13 years after 65% of Nevada voters enacted a constitutional amendment that required the state legislature to authorize “appropriate methods” of supply of medical marijuana, the legislature could finally do so. The Assembly will vote on S.B. 374 today or tomorrow, and it’s crucial that your assembly member hear from you before casting his or her vote.
Please call or email your assembly member today to ask him or her to fulfill the will of voters and his or her constitutional duty.
Last year, Judge Donald Mosley found that the state’s 2001 medical marijuana law was “absurd,” unconstitutional, and “ridiculous.” It fails to allow patients to buy their medicine, and instead relies on them growing it themselves or having an individual caregiver do so. The Assembly Judiciary Committee and the Senate have both approved S.B. 374, which would fix this by allowing state-regulated dispensaries and growers. The most recent version of the bill would allow current patients to cultivate until April 2016. Any patient could cultivate if they don’t live near a dispensary or if they can’t travel to one.
The legislature will adjourn tomorrow night, so it’s crucial you act now to make sure patients finally have a reasonable supply of their medicine. Then, ask your friends and family in Nevada to do the same.
