Whether you are a newly registered medical cannabis card holder, a registered medical cannabis card holder for many years or an out of state registered medical cannabis card holder, NRS 453A as well as regulations issued by the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health, expressly prohibit the smoking of cannabis in public view.
SPECIAL NOTE:
Holding a Cannabis Registry Card does NOT exempt a person from the laws that apply to cannabis. It ONLY allows the holder of the card to possess:
1.Two and one half ounces of usable cannabis in any one 14 day period (defined in NRS 453A.160)
2. Twelve Cannabis plants, irrespective of whether the cannabis plants are mature or immature (defined in NAC 453A.080)
3. A maximum allowable quantity of edible cannabis products (defined in NRS 453A.101) and cannabis infused products (defined in NRS 453A.112) as established by regulation of the Division
PATIENT RESPONSIBILITY
If you are a patient, treat your medical cannabis as you treat other medications. Like many other medications, medical cannabis has different effects on different people, so don’t share it with friends, family members or children. Your medication is for you and you only.
Properly store your medicine. In order to get the best results out of your medical cannabis, save it in an airtight container. If you are buying dried cannabis, it is best kept out of direct sunlight. Also, keep your medicine and all other medicines out of reach of others who may use it.
Talk to your healthcare provider to make sure you are using an appropriate dosage that works for you. Don’t overuse your medication; instead, make sure you’re following your healthcare provider’s recommendations and listening to dispensary employee feedback to ensure you are not using more than you need.
Unless your children are medically authorized to use medical cannabis, it is illegal to dispense to your children. Be conscious of how you use your medical cannabis and where you store it, making sure to keep it out of reach of children and pets at all times. Edibles can look especially appealing to both children and pets, so make sure to avoid any mishaps by keeping edibles products in a safe and secure place.
