GLENDALE, Ariz. — A contingent of Nevada lawmakers checked out a medical marijuana dispensary here Friday but they weren’t shopping. No drugs or money changed hands during their visit.
Led by Senate Judiciary Chairman Tick Segerblom, D-Las Vegas, the lawmakers took a fact-finding trip to see how the nonprofit dispensary system works and whether it can be a model for Nevada’s much older but more confusing medical marijuana program.
The lawmakers toured the nondescript Arizona Organix dispensary on West Glendale Avenue, the first to be licensed in the state in November.
About 30,000 Arizonans have medical marijuana cards. Nevada has about 3,645 medical marijuana card holders.
