Reno News & Review, 27 Nov 2014 - Patients Must Be Patient a Little Longer Medical dispensaries for marijuana will soon appear in Nevada, but they are not likely to be accompanied by the free-swinging procedures that once characterized the California industry.

Las Vegas Sun, 20 Aug 2014 - It's not surprising that both the Florida Sheriff's Association and the Florida Medical Association oppose legalizing medicinal marijuana. Expanding public access to legal marijuana is bad for business. Locking people up for minor drug offenses and maintaining a monopoly on the bountiful pain-relief industry are two aspects of the status quo that law enforcement and physician groups have an interest in maintaining. Sure, they dress up their concerns in different terms. But I don't buy it. Cerabino, FrankLas Vegas SunNevadans for Responsible Law Enforcement2014-08-22US NV: Column: End Marijuana Prohibition

Reno News & Review, 10 Jul 2014 - Nevada's implementation of the law requiring medical marijuana establishment (MME) licensing is so far plagued by hidden financing, proxy companies, questionable campaign contributions and forbidden crossovers between gambling licensees and dispensary ownership in Clark County. The problem is that the state has capped the number of dispensaries by county, has required enormous capital to apply, and the licenses are awarded by politicians. What could possibly go wrong? When the state artificially creates a market, rather than markets creating themselves, there will be corruption. When the number of legalized outlets is capped by government, and only government can approve new applications, the opportunity for start up competition is capped as well. Without competition, there will be a few entrenched special interests who will dominate the industry. Nevada promised transparency in the selection process, but so far the process has been opaque.

Reno News & Review, 05 Jun 2014 - When Voters Lay Down the Law, Some Officials Balk It was midday at Casale's Halfway Club on East Fourth Street. Though lunch is not always a big thing here, today there was a group of 10 people around a single table. Tom Case had bid in a silent auction on lunch for 10 with the mayors of Reno and Sparks at Casale's. He won, and this was the gathering.

Reno News & Review, 30 Jan 2014 - The Nevada Legislature's response to the mandate in 2000 by Nevada voters to create a system by which sick Nevadans could get access to medicine was childish and a dirty trick on the most vulnerable people in the state. Like when Mom said, "Quit touching your sister," and you responded by holding your finger two inches from her ear, "I'm not touching her," the Legislature followed the words of the law, but let the spirit of the voter-approved law and the intention of voters dissipate like vapor.

Elko Daily Free Press, 30 Dec 2013 - ELKO - In the summer of 2013, the Free Press ran a series on the problem of methamphetamine in the Elko community. According to Free Press files, as many as one in four arrests in Elko county are connected to drugs in some way. "It's a multi-faceted problem," Elko Police Chief Ben Reed said, adding drug use can lead to domestic violence, burglary and child abuse.

Reno News & Review, 03 Jan 2013 - Can Nevada Turn Marijuana Enforcement Over to the Feds? Sen. Tick Segerblom, a Clark County Democrat, will introduce legislation at the 2013 Nevada Legislature to decriminalize marijuana. Assembly Republican leader Pat Hickey is open to the idea.

Reno News & Review, 12 Jan 2012 - Pro-marijuana forces are giving up on one of their favorite states, for the time being, anyway. No effort will be made by the Marijuana Policy Project to go to the Nevada ballot with a legalize-and-regulate measure in 2012. Instead the project, which has backed several earlier Nevada ballot initiatives, will focus on Colorado, where the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol gathered almost twice the number of required signatures on an initiative petition.

Las Vegas Sun, 06 Jul 2011 - By the Numbers 2 percent -- Share of the guns from the United States that originated in Nevada. The majority of firearms come from the border states of Texas, California and Arizona. Two years ago, the case of Zorra Penunuri put Las Vegas on the national map in the fight against cross-border contraband.
