Las Vegas’ Big Players Compete for Medical Marijuana Licenses

In recent months, over 100 Las Vegas companies have vied for a limited number of medical marijuana licenses in Clark County.

Before you pass judgment on the “type” of person or company you believe would wish to engage in this budding industry, know this: these ain’t no pot-heads and hippies seeking the potentially enormous financial windfall to be found in the Las Vegas medical marijuana industry; on the contrary, many of the proposals submitted were from companies and individuals with political clout, ties to the casino business, reputable doctors, and real estate investors.

The state plans to only allow a maximum of 40 medical marijuana business licenses in Clark County, which will be used for a variety of purposes including medical marijuana dispensaries, marijuana production facilities, cultivation warehouses, and testing labs. This all translates to huge profits, so why wouldn’t any wealth-hungry company want a piece of that green pie?

Rumored to be involved with the new medical marijuana movement in Southern Nevada is Sig Rogich, senior adviser to U.S. Presidents such as Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. Rogich currently runs a prominent public relations firm in Nevada (that actually, eight years ago, managed an anti-drug campaign during a marijuana ballot initiative.)

Another big name rumored to have applied for both dispensary and cultivation licenses: James Bixler, a retiring Eighth District Court judge. Bixler recently created Greenleaf Dispensaries Inc. with some family members and a friend. Interestingly, if granted a license, Bixler, according to a Review Journal article posted this past month, says he will donate some of his profits to drug education and treatment programs.

Chad Christensen is another rumored contender. This former LV Assemblyman ran as Republican candidate for the Senate back in 2010, and has recently partnered with a friend to apply for licenses for a dispensary and a cultivation facility.

As well, Bill Feather, who once held the position of President of Planet Hollywood Resort, is rumored to have formed Doctors’ Dispensary LLC with Oscar B. Goodman Jr.

These are but a few of the recognizable names who are looking to be involved in the new medical marijuana industry in Southern Nevada. Whether they solely desire financial gain from this endeavor or they truly believe in the benefits medical marijuana has to offer is up for interpretation, but one thing is certain: they have acted swiftly and wisely in attempts to secure one of those coveted 40 licenses.

Las Vegas’ Big Players Compete for Medical Marijuana Licenses

Juvenile Prostitution Case in Las Vegas: Two Men from California Sentenced

This past April in Las Vegas, two men from Nevada’s neighbor, California, were sentenced to eight years apiece in federal prison. In 2013, these criminals transported teenage girls from Northern California to be enslaved by prostitution here in Las Vegas.

One of the criminals, Andrew West, was also court ordered to remain on supervised release for 20 years after he gets out of federal prison. As well, the other criminal, Ray Darnell Webb, was ordered 10 years of supervised release after his eight year sentence concludes.

As with all sex crimes cases, both men must now register as sex offenders when they are released from prison.

The transportation of minors across state lines, in order to have them work as prostitutes, is a federal felony crime. As such, the cases involving West and Webb were investigated by both the FBI and the Metropolitan Police Department, and the men were prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Nicholas Dickinson and Phillip Smith, Jr.

At the Law Office of Mark Coburn, it is our ethical obligation to defend our clients to the best of our ability.

Juvenile Prostitution Case in Las Vegas: Two Men from California Sentenced

North Las Vegas Municipal Court Criticized

The story is odd but true.

In March 2014, the North Las Vegas Justice Court ordered a pair of inmates to be sent approximately three miles up the road to the Clark County Detention Center.

Unfortunately, they did not arrive until an entire month later due to “case holds” placed on them by the court. The criminals were Walter Latimore and James Thomas, both of whom have histories of mental illness. They were first ordered to wait in county custody while awaiting mental competency hearings. As well, each inmate faced separate, pending, misdemeanor charges in the North Las Vegas Municipal Court, which placed an additional hold their cases.

District and Justice Court officials claim that this particular pair of individuals is not the first to be held up in the court system for an extended period of time…and they likely won’t be the last.

Not only is this obstruction aggravating to all parties involved, but it costs the city an enormous amount of money each time something like this occurs. As well, there are liability issues and, bluntly, competency issues, which can and should be addressed.

City officials say that they are currently checking into the matter.

Safety First: North Las Vegas Residents Can Now Sign up For Crime Alerts

Get Connected with North Las Vegas, Sign Up For Crime Alerts

While crime can, and does, occur in all parts of the Las Vegas Valley, it is a known fact that North Las Vegas suffers severely from numerous counts of trespassing, burglary, stolen vehicle crimes, and other offenses.

Residents have longed for a way to keep themselves and their families safe by remaining aware of where/when these crimes are taking place… and now, their pleas and prayers have been answered.

North Las Vegas residents can now keep up with all reported crimes by signing up for AlertID, a Mobile Crime Alerts system which will notify them via email, text, or push whenever a crime is reported.

North Las Vegas Police Department recently urged residents to sign up for this communication platform because it connects citizens with federal and local authorities while providing information that will help ensure the safety and well-being of North Las Vegas individuals, families, and communities.

Residents can sign up at www.AlertID.com to receive notice of suspicious or criminal activity in their area. These crime alerts in Las Vegas are free, and can be received via e-mail, text, or push notification via the AlertID app. Residents simply enter their address and select which information they would like to be sent.

One very useful feature of AlertID is that different crime levels are assigned different alert levels: for example, a high level alert includes reports of violent crimes. So, if a resident would only like to be notified of high level alerts, he/she will not be alerted for less severe crimes such as car thefts. Or, on the other hand, an individual may choose to be alerted of all crimes in the area, including low, medium, and high level crimes.

Marijuana has been legal in Nevada for medicinal purposes since the year 2000, however, licensed participants were always required by law to grow their own plants. Recent changes now permit the commercial licensure for Medical Marijuana establishments, including dispensaries, cultivation, edible & other marijuana-infused ingestibles, and independent testing labs.

 

In fact, there will soon be 40 legal, licensed dispensaries in the Las Vegas area, with the first 10 opening up over the next few months. You will be able to use your Medical Marijuana card at any of these dispensaries.

 

What do I do while I’m waiting for my card to arrive? After our physician has determined your eligibility for medical marijuana, assuming you qualify, you will receive a 90 day temporary recommendation & online patient verification number before you leave our office, so you will have your full rights immediately, during the time you are waiting for your card to arrive.

 

Important Notes on the Commercial Availability of Medical Marijuana

 

Because medical marijuana will soon be commercially available in legally licensed dispensaries in Nevada, the quality of the marijuana will be much higher, and patients will no longer need to remain in the shadows about their marijuana needs.

However, the penalties for illegal marijuana usage and possession haven’t changed– and it’s important to remember that conviction for drug crimes will stay on your record and show up on your background checks (making it difficult for employment), as well as lead to costly court fines, and potential jail time.

 

Don’t take a risk with shady outlets in strip malls that claim they can help you with your medical marijuana cards. Real compliance with Nevada State Law can best be achieved by working with a licensed attorney. Obtain your Medical Marijuana Card through our respected Law Office to ensure a swift, stress-free process.

The creators say the app is just as accurate as the <strong>breathalyzers</strong> used by law enforcement, and they claim the App discourages alcohol users from getting behind the wheel of a car after they have been drinking.</p><br/><p>Ben Biron, one of the App creators, says the App is easy to use, affordable (less than $100) and will aid in the fight against drunk driving.</p><br/><p>“We wanted to do something that had a social mission and not just generate money,” Biron said.</p><br/><p>Alcohoot works by plugging the breathalyzer device into a smartphone’s audio jack, then opening the App, blowing into the breathalyzer–and within seconds, the user’s blood alcohol content (BAC) pops up. But that’s not all. The App also brings up numbers for taxi companies and even a user’s contact list to call a friend for a ride home. The App also lets users track how much they have been drinking using a chart.</p><br/><p>FOX Carolina wanted to see how well Alcohoot works against officers’ breathalyzers. FOX Carolina photographer Dal Kalsi volunteered to help by drinking three 16 ounce beers. Then the Wingate Police Department tested his BAC using a certified law enforcement field breathalyzer. His BAC registered at 0.03. Then he tested Alcohoot twice, which came within 0.002 of a percentage of the police’s test.</p><br/><p>The officer said despite Alcohoot’s accuracy, he did not recommend using it to decide whether or not to drive after drinking. Biron agreed. “My opinion is don’t drink and drive at all,” said Biron. “My opinion is buzz driving is drunk driving.”</p><br/><p>Alcohoot is not available yet but is accepting pre-order online for $75.</p><br/><p width='293' align='alignright' id='attachment_121'> <a href="http://i2.wp.com/www.criminaldefenseoflasvegas.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/submit-sidebar.png"><img alt="Attorney Mark Coburn Discusses Tougher Drunk Driving Threshold Proposed For Las Vegas, Nevada" class="size-full wp-image-121" data-recalc-dims="1" src="http://i2.wp.com/www.criminaldefenseoflasvegas.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/submit-sidebar.png?resize=293%2C53"/></a> <snap class='wpimgcaption'>Attorney Mark Coburn Discusses New App Pairs Breathalyzer Test With Smartphones</snap></p><br/><p>If you or someone you know is facing intimidating <strong>DUI charges in Las Vegas, Nevada</strong>, call <strong>DUI Attorney Mark Coburn</strong> today at 702 384 1001.

In addition to this much stricter regulation regarding drunk drivers on the road, the board would like to see faster actions implanted to take away offenders’ licenses and driving right after they’ve been charged with a DUI.</p><br/><p>Alcohol-related crashes kill over 10,000 people each year, which is why the NTSB believes a more restrictive law must be placed. Just this Tuesday, they recommended that all 50 states adopt a blood-alcohol content (BAC) cutoff of 0.05 compared to the 0.08 standard.</p><br/><p>“Most Americans think that we’ve solved the problem of impaired driving, but in fact, it’s still a national epidemic,” NTSB Chairman Deborah Hersman said.</p><br/><p>She went on to state that progress has been made over the years to reduce DUIs, including a variety of federal and state policies, tougher law enforcement, and more solid advocacy, however, she said too many people are still dying on the roads.</p><br/><p>“In the last 30 years, more than 440,000 people have perished in this country due to alcohol-impaired driving. What will be our legacy 30 years from now?” Hersman asked. “If we don’t tackle alcohol-impaired driving now, when will we find the will to do so?”</p><br/><p>Under current 0.08 law, an average 180-pound male will hit the threshold after about four drinks over an hour. That same person could reach the 0.05 threshold after just two to three drinks over the same period.</p><br/><p>The NTSB also recommended that states expand laws allowing police to swiftly confiscate licenses from drivers who exceed the blood alcohol limits, and it is pushing for laws requiring all first-time offenders to have ignition locking devices that prevent cars from starting until breath samples are analyzed.</p><br/><p>More on this news story soon, but in the meantime, if you have been charged with a <a href="http://www.criminaldefenseoflasvegas.com/practice-areas/dui-charges/" title="Criminal Defense Attorney For DUI Charges in Las Vegas, NV"><b>DUI</b></a> or <span style='color: #0000ff;'><b>Drunk Driving Charge in Las Vegas</b></span>, and you require an exceptional <b>Las Vegas DUI Attorney</b>, call the <a href="http://www.criminaldefenseoflasvegas.com/attorney-profile/" title="Mark Coburn Criminal Defense Attorney in Las Vegas">Law Office of Mark Coburn</a> today for a free consultation regarding the details of your case.
