Even those who don’t have a medical marijuana card can now smoke in Nevada. That’s right, weed is even legal in Las Vegas! Thousands of people waited in line to buy recreational marijuana on July 1st, the first day that it became legal. One of those people was pro-legal marijuana legislator Senator Tick Segerblom, his gesture to squash the stigma associated with cannabis.
Anyone over 21 years of age (including tourists) can now use recreational marijuana in Las Vegas. You can possess up to one ounce, and all you need is a driver’s license or government-issued identification card. Since recreational marijuana is legal, you have no need for a medical marijuana card, right? Wrong.
Why Have a Medical Marijuana Card?
The recreational marijuana distribution regulations caused the problem. New regulations would allow dispensaries to get marijuana distribution licenses. In the meantime, medical marijuana dispensaries don’t have the regulation or distribution issues, so having your medical marijuana card can make sure that you have access to marijuana, even if recreational pot runs out. Marijuana consumption is also still illegal under federal law, so having a medical marijuana card could make a difference in a sticky situation.
