Patients Seek Changes to Nevada Medical Marijuana Laws
Various court cases are pending concerning Nevada medical marijuana laws. Although NRS 453A permits medical marijuana cardholders to possess small amounts of marijuana, state and federal law still prohibits the sale of it. Therefore both patients and sellers risk arrest if they try to buy or sell marijuana.
Nevada medical marijuana laws permit certain patient to have and use marijuana for medicinal purposes. However they must first go through a stringent applicant process with the backing of a licensed physician. And then they may possess only small amounts of marijuana at a time or risk arrest.
Nevada medical marijuana laws are geared for patients suffering from AIDS, cancer, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, or any condition that causes muscle spasms, seizures, severe nausea, severe pain, or cachexia. Each patient may have one designated caregiver to help administer the marijuana. A medical marijuana card is good for only one year, and then the patient needs to reapply.
