Licensed medical marijuana dispensaries in good standing with the state of Nevada can begin selling marijuana for recreational purposes as early as July 1, the state tax board voted Monday. When they do, adults in Nevada will be able to legally purchase up to an ounce of marijuana or 1/8 ounce of purified concentrates. The Department of Taxation, Nevada’s regulating body for the recreational marijuana industry, will start to accept license applications from existing medical marijuana licensees on May 15. While as a candidate, Trump said he was supportive of medical marijuana “100 percent” and would respect states’ rights on the issue. Nevada was one of four states that approved the taxation and regulation of recreational marijuana in 2016 ― doubling the number of states with legal access to recreational marijuana, bringing more progressive drug laws to nearly a quarter of the nation’s population.
