Medical marijuana co-ops in Las Vegas (not dispensaries) face legal hurdles
Sporting shaggy hair, green sunglasses and a bright yellow T-shirt that says “Weed,” the boy chatting with two female employees in this office could have been any teenager. Except this 15-year-old hasn’t eaten in 70 days and has already endured 30 operations.
Ryan has Crohn’s disease. He is the youngest medical marijuana patient at a recently opened Las Vegas co-operative, Completely Legal. The nonprofit allows legally registered patients to donate marijuana for medical use by other co-op members.
“It saved his life,” Ryan’s mother, Tammy, says as she sits inside Completely Legal’s waiting room, surrounded by “Weed” brand T-shirts and hats. “He has gained 30 pounds in the last few months. He was down to 80 pounds.”
Ryan can’t eat food because his colon was removed last year. He has a feeding tube for nourishment and carries a colostomy bag concealed by his “Weed” shirt — a gift from Completely Legal founder Jake Lill, who at age 24 manages two co-ops in Las Vegas.
“He wore it to school today,” Tammy says of Ryan’s shirt, her tone indicating a hint of both surprise and parental disapproval.
Yet Tammy approves of the use of marijuana to make life better for seriously ill patients like her son. She says she learned of pot’s pain-killing and medical uses from a family friend whose relative had Crohn’s.
The faint smell of weed fills the air in the South Durango Drive waiting room as Tammy talks about her son’s ordeal, and describes his being airlifted to an out-of-state hospital a year ago to save his life.
Ryan has been battling Crohn’s since he was 10. He can still suck on marijuana edibles such as hard candy.
“Medical marijuana relaxes me, helps me sleep, and just helps me a lot,” he says in a low voice.
Tammy makes donations to the Completely Legal co-op, as do most of the other patients.
Donations are accepted but not required, Lill says.“When people can’t afford to donate, we give a lot of medicine away,” Lill says, flashing a smile. “Medical marijuana is not a drug. It is a medicine. click ANYWHERE FOR THE REST OF TH STORY........THANKS SIN CITY.......”Sin City Cannabis | Las Vegas Medical Cannabis Resource

Medical pot advocate arrested with husband in alleged grow house bust

Lowel Shade

An advocate for loosening medical marijuana restrictions in Nevada was arrested Saturday at her southwest valley home with her husband after police say they found a marijuana grow operation in the house where their 13-year-old son also lived.

Rhonda Shade and Lowel Shade, both 37, were charged with child endangerment, possession of marijuana with the intent to sell, trafficking in a controlled substance and conspiracy to violate the Uniform Controlled Substance Act. Lowel Shade also was charged with possession of a firearm by an ex-felon. Rhonda Shade has denied selling marijuana.

Police served a search warrant Friday at the couple’s home on Valadez Street, near Wigwam Avenue and Cimarron Road. Investigators said they found 90 marijuana plants, a “significant amount” of ready for sale marijuana with an estimated street value of at least $300,000 and a handgun. read the rest at sin city
