Nevada Set to Make Millions on Medical Marijuana
According to an article in the Las Vegas Review-Journal last July, Tick Segerblom told a group that pot dispensary owners in Nevada are in a perfect position to make millions of dollars because the state is the only one in the country that plans to accept out-of-state medical marijuana cards.
State Senator Tick Segerblom helped pass the law (3) that helped legalize the dispensaries. As reported, Tick believes that the medical marijuana business to be a boon not only for state coffers but also for the 40 operators who will be able to sell medical pot to anybody who holds a card from another state.
At last tally 19 states had legalized medical marijuana - from Colorado to Oregon and Washington to Connecticut, Vermont and Delaware.
Tick went on to say that "...with the millions of people who visit here, I don't need to tell you how profitable it can be. And Nevada needs the money. It's very short on revenue. But we're not going to become a Venice Beach. Nevada has a thorough and fair bill, and we're going to regulate this industry the right way."
