Mom of Medical Marijuana Activist Sentenced to Jail in Las Vegas
Last week a former medical marijuana activist's mom was ordered to serve four months in prison for participating in a marijuana dispensary run by her family. She also has to serve four months in home confinement as well as five years of supervised release. She was not taken into custody right away but has to surrender by the middle of February.
Nevada medical marijuana laws are very specific and narrow. The state does not recognize storefront dispensaries. Instead, patients and their designated caregivers may grow their own under Nevada medical marijuana laws.
Nevada medical marijuana laws is meant to help patients suffering from either multiple sclerosis, AIDS, epilepsy, cancer, glaucoma, or any condition where the patient endures severe nausea, severe pain, muscle spasms, seizures, or cachexia. A licensed physician has to recommend the patient to the program. And a medical marijuana card is valid for only one year.
