LAS VEGAS (FOX5) - A forthcoming bill in the Nevada legislature could remove marijuana’s status as a “controlled substance” and remove authority from the Nevada Board of Pharmacy.
The bill would streamline state control of marijuana to a sole agency: the Cannabis Compliance Board, according to Assemblyman Reuben D’Silva.
“We don’t need to have several levels of regulation on a substance now, that we know is part and parcel of our community, and part and parcel of our of our economy,” D’Silva said. “In the end, this is a burdensome regulation, and that we need to remove the Nevada Board of Pharmacy statutorily now from having oversight over cannabis products and cannabis derivatives,” he said.
