RENO GIVES GREEN LIGHT FOR MEDICAL MARIJUANA BUSINESSES

The Reno City Council is moving ahead with rules for medical 
marijuana establishments within the city limits.

The Reno Gazette-Journal reported that council members on Wednesday 
directed staff to draft ordinances and zoning rules for dispensaries, 
cultivation operations, testing labs and kitchens for edible products.

Washoe County approved requirements governing medical marijuana in 
unincorporated areas of the Truckee Meadows earlier this month.

Nevada voters approved marijuana for medicinal purposes in 2000, but 
patients had no legal way to obtain it except to grow it. That 
changed last year when the Legislature approved a law setting up a 
tax and distribution structure.

Local governments are now writing their own restrictions and requirements.
