Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: Med marijuana traveling

Very good question. The question is whether Nevada, being a medical marijuana state, would honor your CA med card. While I honestly do not know the answer off the top of my head, (could find out with a little bit of research) I think the resounding answer is that you should get a Nevada card. Imagine being pulled over by a Nevada cop who wants to make life difficult for you, even arrest you, because you only have a California card. Even if the cop is wrong, not having a Nevada card can certainly cost you.

Be aware of different marijuana amount limitations under Nevada and California medical marijuana laws.

Hope this helps.

Re: Med marijuana traveling

I generally agree with Mr. Lentz, with one very serious caveat -- I don't know whether Nevada allows medical marijuana use like California does. Most states don't. Those that don't will neither issue their own permits nor recognize permits from other states.

Re: Med marijuana traveling

The short answer is both states, however I suggest you contact a Nevada attorney first.
