This happened in Las Vegas, Nevada. Not California. Nevada has medical marijuana, but you are supposed to grow your own. There is no dispensary system like in California. You are not allowed to sell weed for profit in this state. There are some collectives that are operating out here, but these guys who just got busted were just selling weed to anyone (including undercover cops) from a store front.

I know what state it took place in as well as the laws about it.like i said they cant do shit by the book.
Im jus mad prop 19 was a no instead of yes.Thats why i brought that up..

There isn't really a way to operate a dispensary out here "by the book". Even the collectives are kind of a grey area that get raided occasionally.
I wish prop 19 would have passed as well, Nevada probably would have been one of the next states to legalize.

Yes it's true about dispensaries, but it's not for the lack of trying.

I'm sure they will figure out some type of legal dispensary system soon, it will just take some time. I would be completely opposed to there being a state marijuana farm, why not just clarify the law to allow a co-op or California type system? That seems much better. (but I'm not a big fan of the govenment doing anything)

I agree. I was just pointing out that at one time the idea of access was once on the table. It would be great if there was a system in place like Cali. I used to be a patient there and it was nice having access. I mean I like growing my own and all but as anyone who does it knows it doesn't always work out when you're first starting out. Being able to have access while climbing the learning curve would be really nice. Then there is the fact that many don't have green thumbs or are too ill to grow their own.
All the cannabis prohibitionists are standing on a foundation made up of lies and deceit. Foundations made up of lies and deceit crumble under the weight of the truth. Keep hammering - persistence always wins out.

Just so u all no I'm a Nv mmj patient it is not illegal to have a dispensary it is illegal to sell weed out of it.. It's NOT ILLEGAL to except cash donations and GIVE away free weed to patients with a valid doctors recommendation as Long as the doctor is in GOOD STANDING WITH THE STATE OF NV . It is NOT ILLEGAL to except money for " consulting with patients " and then giving them free weed. What happened to these people at this dispensary and the same for the good guys at jolly green Meds is metro trying to scare activist out of the business till a law can b passed and the state can make money off it. U will all see that if these people have money for decent lawyers that all charges will get dismissed in court. Nv is a funny state but there's a great lil section in our mmj law called " affirmative defense " look it up in nrs 453.a it allows people excemprion from prosecution at stet level for so many things. Sale, delivery, possession ,and more look for yourselves it's the same section in the law that says with doctors recommendation a mmj patient can possess more then the statutory amount of 7 plants and 1 ounce and virtually can possess an infinite amount ( not word for word but u catch my drift. The only real catch to this is the federal law . Metro is a joke u can get caught with 6000 plants and beat it in state court with a good lawyer but what will most likely happen is that they will pass the case to the Feds and if u have over 99 plants or 1 kilo of usable pot u do a mandatory 5 years in the big pen. " there is no such think as mmj to federal government 1 joint in a Nv or Ca or Co mmj patients hands is completely illegal" Anyways I don't no all the facts on what green way was doing but I don't believe that they were selling to non patients my guess is they atleast had a doctors referral. The state wants u to get a nv mmj card so they can make there 150 bucks or whatever off it and they are gonna keep raiding dispensaries that allow patients in with just a doctors recommendation even though it doesn't matter if they register with the state or not per nrs453 a affirmative defense section... READ IT IT'S HOW ALL THIS GOOD STUFF IS POSSIBLE.... final note: everyone while visiting dispensaries or while on weedmapa should thank these dispensary owners for taking all the risk to help Nv mmj patients and I they make some money alon the way GOOD 4 THEM they deserve it and last but not least FUCK METRO U AIN'T SCARING US U R A FUCKIN JOKE...

Well the way I see it until the feds change their laws this will happen again and again. Unless you are one of the government elite you will get busted.

As long as you're a dispensary that gives cannabis away for free and is not in a "public place or in any place open to the public or exposed to public view" you're fine (see NRS 453A.300). If you're gonna walk that slippery slope I suggest building an underground bunker in the middle of the desert.

Finally someone gets it!.Wake up peeps..
The 100 ft from a park is a regular marijuana law not medical there's nothing about 100 ft from a park that's in nrs 453 a and sunset rd is an awfully wide street dividing the dispensary from the park I'm gonna pull out the measuring tape and find out just for the fuck of it though.. Lol
Your definitely on a slippery slope but pushing laws is how things get changed it's no different in cal or colorado or anywhere else. It's still illegal under federal law they just don't get fucked with as much because they have state laws that allow tthe state to tax it. If the states happy then most likely the Feds won't b such a problem untill they get bored and pop in to ROB the dispensaries once in a while just like Cali but usually no arrests r made...

They dont want to make arrest for MJ it's all about reminding us smart asses who is still in charge and it's true there will be not many arrest if any and even fewer convictions if any in legal states but just knowing that big brother can on occation do this is all they want you to know.....By the way jail time or not it hurts to lose any amount of bud to me..
Adding to that did u guys notice anything different about the first raid in Vegas different then the raids anywhere else not only was it the dea and metro but they were accompanied by the IRS hmm... I think they want there money... I'm not gonna put any clubs on blast but I no 1 inperticular on the west side that hasn't been raided since the first one and they r still open today. The funny thing is they aren't a non profit they r a for profit llc. They pay state tax they took there name off weedmaps and they stopped excepting new patients. They pay there taxes and they don't get fucked with.. Weird... Also back to the part where I said the state wants people to pay and become a registered card holder. If u look at the dispensary adds in the LV weekly u will c that at the bottom of the add all the clubs say " must have valid state registry card." they still usually except doctor recommendations but when they stop doing that and only except cards I believe metro will pretty much leave em alone.. Which I don't agree with because no other state forces u to register like that and makes u pick ur card up from the DMV. There also in my opinion not really worried about the dispensaries selling weed with a sign up in front of there store basically saying there pot dealers. There interested in getting ahold of the patient paperwork and finding out who's growing all the weed that the dispensaries r giving away...
