Once dispensaries do open for business, it will be as easy for eligible adults to buy marijuana as it is for them to buy alcohol, according to the Sun. However, as long as the plant remains illegal under federal law, consumers must pay with cash as dispensaries do not accept credit cards.
Individual counties still have the right to prohibit dispensaries from opening within their jurisdiction and 12 of the state's 16 counties currently ban medical marijuana facilities, the Sun reported. The number of licenses in counties where dispensaries are allowed will be based on population. Clark County, home to Las Vegas, will be awarded up to 80 recreational licenses – good for dispensaries, cultivation and production centers – while smaller counties could receive as few as two permits, depending on their size.
Additional restrictions remain for residents of the Silver State who want to grow marijuana themselves. No one who lives within 25 miles of the nearest dispensary will be allowed to grow their own plants – leaving Las Vegas residents out of luck. However, those living in rural areas can grow up to six marijuana plants per person and up to 12 per household, according to the Sun.
