ESSENCE: A Las Vegas Medical Marijuana Dispensary

in medicalmarijuana •  8 years ago  (edited)

Sandwiched between the SLS Las Vegas and Stratosphere hotel-casino resorts, the Essence Cannabis Dispensary, is the first such facility on Las Vegas Boulevard. Medical marijuana has been legal in Nevada since 2000.

It’s illegal for people with medical marijuana cards from California and other states to transport their stash across state lines, but they can legally purchase and consume cannabis in Nevada with a doctor’s note, thanks to a 2015 law that created reciprocity.

Nevadans, however, often have to wait a month or more for a medical marijuana card, thanks to a background check.

Like other dispensaries, Essence sells products to treat various medical conditions, including pain, nausea and sleep deprivation.

Patients can cook with cannabis-infused butter, munch on a coconut macaroon laced with tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the active ingredient in marijuana or simply smoke a joint made with potent cannabis flower.

Consultations with a registered nurse are offered free of charge.
