Nevada Assembly Bill 402, which would have decriminalized possessing, using and cultivating pot under certain established regulations, died in committee. The bill would have established a minimum age limit of 21 for usage and instituted a 25% excise tax. However, the legislature did pass a bill that does permit Nevada medical marijuana dispensaries under certain limited conditions.
The application to open Nevada medical marijuana dispensaries asks for various information including: The physical address of the prospective dispensary; evidence that the applicant controls at least a quarter of a million dollars in liquid assets; evidence that the applicant has permission to use or own the property where the dispensary would be located; the applicant's fingerprints; and operating procedures. There are only 10 business days a year that the Nevada State Health Division accepts medical marijuana establishment applications.
