Nevada Medical Marijuana Dispensary Law Signed By

CARSON CITY, Nev. -- After 13 years of waiting, medical marijuana patients in Nevada will soon have a legal way to obtain the drug without growing it themselves.

Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval signed SB374 into law Wednesday evening. The measure establishes the framework to make pot available to medical marijuana card holders, and imposes fees and requirements for growers, processors and dispensaries. It also contains provisions to continue to allow home-growing until 2016.
The tax revenue created will first fund the regulation of the dispensaries. Any remaining revenue will be funneled to education.

According to the National Conference on State Legislatures, Nevada is the 14th state to legalize medical marijuana dispensaries, and one of 19 states to allow medicinal pot, along with the District of Columbia.

Marijuana Product Placement, Branding On The Rise As Marketing Execs Reimagine Legal Ganja

Marijuana's public image is coming in for a makeover worthy of daytime TV, with pot product placement already a reality on Hollywood sets.

Cheryl Shuman, a Los Angeles-based marketing and public relations consultant who -- not coincidentally -- founded a medical marijuana collective, has embarked on a campaign to update the image of the stereotypical dope smoker.

She wants to replace visions of dreadlocked surfer-types taking hits from tie-dyed bongs with snapshots of what she portrays as the modern-day marijuana enthusiast: middle-class soccer moms revving up their pocket vaporizers after the children are in bed and suit-clad professionals taking the edge off the day.

“The High Times generation that came with all their pot leafs and all that, they’re there, but the new weed consumer is a successful, professional and most likely female client,” said Shuman, who represents several companies that manufacture smoking gadgets and consults with television and film studios contemplating how to depict marijuana smokers. “The thought of being associated with the whole druggie loser scene is not appealing to them, which is why the branding is changing.”

Shuman is part of an emerging crop of marketing professionals drawn to marijuana in age of growing legalization, and she is one of the few branding strategists in the United States working explicitly to make marijuana use more socially acceptable. Her preferred method involves working with television and film producers in Los Angeles to make sure on-screen cannabis use is depicted in a positive light.

Shuman has been trying to change the image of marijuana since the mid-1990s, when she was diagnosed with cancer and began using cannabis medically. A former runway model and film prop specialist, Shuman discovered that other people in her Hollywood-centered social circle who smoked marijuana for medical reasons were ashamed of being connected to the freewheeling cannabis culture of California’s dispensaries.

To provide a space where those people could light up comfortably, Shuman founded the Beverly Hills Cannabis Club, a medical marijuana cooperative that hosts “high class” marijuana tasting parties and chef-catered dinners.
