Back to Medical Marijuana state laws
The law in Nevada is clear in only a few ways.
1. The law says that you won’t be held criminally responsible for use, possession, growth, of the substance, with medical approval. by the state authority, not federal. If you are found driving while under the influence, its a DUI. Go to jail. Lose your license, attend dui classes. Whatever the courts decide to do with you. If you are confused, read what I typed above.
2. The law says nothing at all how individuals are supposed to acquire their medicine. Welcome to Nevada.
Make the Law what you want it. That is what its for. If you people don’t stand up for what you believe in. Guess what? No one will.
My disclaimer, I am not a lawyer, I am in no way qualified to say anything but the most obvious.
1990′s Movie: American Beauty won an oscar. It mentioned capsule marijuana like one news broadcast that showed a mother giving it to her son. Amphetamine ~ Barbituate should be used not abused. Alcohol is the most accepted example, however the stigma of legislating moral-personal behavior like prostitution continue to drain vital law enforcement and financial used to intercept around 1% of all drugs since the 13 year alcohol prohibition war.
2002 ~ 20-20 report by John Stossel show how Nations have decriminalized it.
Their national statistic are available via the internet to silence critics and utilize resources to futurist institutions with proven adult productive mental physical regimen away from abuse with respect to safety and law. Advance civilizations faced and resolve every problem we have.
This Law doesn’t even make any sense. It is sort of funny, but the peopLe that have access to such “medicinaL” drugs aren’t doing much with their Life. Drugs are messing this worLd up. But just Like anything ~ enough peopLe have to die before any change is made.
Alchol and Tobacco ae legal and taxed. They are directly responcable for thousands of deaths. No one has overdosed or died from using marijuana. ( NOT true with alchol or tobacco )
There have been more deaths associated with all kinds of drugs (even over the counter drugs) per year than the lifetime of marijuana. Just goes to show you how backwards the united states drug laws are.
CONFUSED. I ASSUME I MUST HAVE A PRESCRIPTION FROM MY DOCTOR, YET I READ NOTHING ABOUT IT. MY DR. WILL WRITE A PRESCRIPTION. BUT WHAT THEN. DO I JUST GO TO THE PLACE (S) LISTED ON WEBSITE (S).
