Legalized Weed-What you need to know
1. Marijuana is legal at the state level to be purchased at licensed dispensaries throughout the state of Nevada
2. Marijuana is only legal at the state level for up to 1 ounce. The federal government still considers marijuana to be a Class 1 Substance
3. You can only smoke pot in your private residence or at the residence of a friend who gives you permission. Can’t smoke where non-consenting third parties may be present: bars, lounges, casinos, clubs, at concerts on the street in public
4. Private property DOES NOT include your motor vehicle-You can be pulled over for smoking weed while driving on a public road and can be given a DUI
5. You can get a DUI for marijuana in Nevada. The penalties are just like getting a DUI with alcohol. What constitutes being under the influence is not clear.
6. Store your edibles responsibly. Please hide them and keep them out of the reach of small kids. Edibles are not supposed to look like candy that could be sold to children, but the packages can be confusing to kids and to adults
7. Using cannabis products could negatively impact your employment. Just because weed is legal at the state level does not mean that your employer can’t use federal guidelines for operating their business. Being high at work, or even functional under the influence, can get you fired from your job.

Marijuana is now legal for recreational usage in Nevada! The legalization of weed in Nevada was not supposed to go into effect until January 1, 2018 after the vote passed on the ballot for question 2 back in November of 2016. However, the state decided to legalize marijuana earlier because they want the tax revenue that will come with marijuana sales from dispensaries.

Keep in mind that marijuana has only been legalized at the state level for up to one ounce, but is still illegal as a Class 1 Substance at the federal level. You are only allowed to smoke weed on your own property or on a friend’s property that has given you permission to do so. You cannot smoke on the streets, at concerts, in bars, in lounges, in clubs, in casinos or anywhere else that non-consenting third parties may be present, including private cars on public roads.

Use and store your cannabis products responsibly. This is especially important for people who have children in their household. If you have young kids in the home then it is a really good idea to keep your products away from them, especially edibles. Even though the law states that cannabis products cannot be modeled after a brand or product that is primarily marketed to or consumed by children, there are cannabis products that very much look like candy that would confuse a child or even an adult.

Driving as a user of cannabis products can be tricky with the new law in effect. Knowing how long you have to wait to drive a car after smoking weed does not have a clear answer. Several factors like your weight and tolerance level play a role. Officers will only be using blood tests to find active substances in your bloodstream. The inactive substances that can linger in your system for weeks or months will no longer cause a conviction. Police can only pull you over if they have probable cause to do so. The best thing to do if you feel weird at all is to simply not drive your car and risk getting a DUI for marijuana usage.
