Title:
Nevada Senate passes medical marijuana dispensary bill
Message:
Earlier this afternoon, the Nevada Senate passed SB 374, which would allow and regulate medical marijuana dispensaries and growers in the state. Sponsored by Sen. Tick Segerblom, the bill received a 17-4 vote — well above the 2/3 votes needed to advance the bill to the Assembly. The legislature is scheduled to adjourn by early Tuesday morning, so time is running short.
Please take a moment to express your support for SB 374 to your assembly member.
Despite the constitutional rights established in Article IV, Section 38 of the Nevada Constitution, the legislature failed to provide seriously ill patients with a way to obtain medical marijuana — other than growing it themselves or finding a volunteer to do so. SB 374 aims to fix that shortfall by authorizing and regulating producers and providers.
Today’s vote is an important milestone for SB 374, but there are several critical steps ahead. Be sure to encourage your assembly members to support SB 374. Please pass this message along to friends, family, and supporters in Nevada, and make sure their elected officials know where they stand on this important issue!
