"Dr. Reefer" Pleads Guilty to Selling Pot in Las Vegas
Last month medical marijuana personality Dr. Reefer pleaded guilty to violating Nevada medical marijuana laws for selling pot through his consulting business. The plea was part of a deal to spare other members of his family from going to prison. He's scheduled to be sentence in October.
Nevada medical marijuana laws permit some patients to use pot for medicinal purposes if they apply and are accepted into the state medical marijuana program. They need to be suffering from either AIDS, cancer, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, or another severe condition. They need a doctor to recommend them for the program.
A Nevada medical marijuana card is good for one year, and then the patient needs to reapply. Since it's illegal to buy or sell pot, patients usually receive pot from patient support groups or grow the marijuana themselves. However the state has strict rules limiting the amount of marijuana patients can have at one time.
