| For | Please stop the persucution of medical growers and patients. | May-13-2011 |
| For | May-10-2011 | |
| For | The members of the Health and Human Services committee of the Assembly should be ashamed of themselves. They refused to read this bill or even meet to discuss its merits. The way they just swept this under the rug is not what they were elected to do. So much for having fair representation in government. | May-09-2011 |
| For | I think its a great idea. We should of done this a long time ago. | May-06-2011 |
| For | As a citizen of Nevada, I encourage you to support AB235. Regulations should be in place for patients to safely and legally obtain cannabis when prescribed by their doctors. If any registration process is needed, it should be for the sale and production of cannabis, not for individual patients to obtain approval for the government before medicating. The current registration process for cannabis patients is long, expensive, and ultimately unnecessary. Consider the recent news stories abound of sensitive data being leaked, not only from supposably secure government databases, but also the corporate world. In April of this year Sony admitted its entire database of 77 million subscribers' names, addresses, email addresses had been compromised in perhaps the biggest privacy breach of all time. This is Sony, a company whose annual profit rivals the entire Nevada state budget. What sense of security does this offer Nevada citizens who are being asked for their private health information and being subjected to background checks before using cannabis? Cannabis patients have a lot more on the line than PlayStation gamers. The federal government still considers the possession of a single cannabis plant to be a felony, despite a stream of studies supporting the medical benefits of cannabis and the overwhelming approval of voters in Nevada and other states. What happens if this database is compromised or confiscated? I can't imagine any benefits are worth this risk. Leave the matter of a patient's health between him and his doctor and not his legislature. Please support AB235. It is a step in the right direction and Nevada's patients desperately need it. | May-01-2011 |
| For | This is the best bill to have been submitted for the benefit of patients. However, it should include collective cultivation between patients. It should be passed ASAP for the benefit of the patients. | Apr-23-2011 |
| For | I have Tourettes Syndrome and moved to Nevada on my doctors request from Kansas, I take Marnol, but sometimes I run out and would need some access to edible items if possible. I am an older patient and respect and adhere to the Laws of wonderful Las Vegas. | Apr-22-2011 |
| Against | Apr-20-2011 | |
| For | I AM NOT A CRIMINAL! I am a legal patient, in a legal State and need access to my Doctor recommended medication. You, THE STATE, have closed, raided and terrorized every possible means of my accessing my medication. Please pass this bill. It is your responsibility to protect your constituents! | Apr-18-2011 |
| For | Apr-17-2011 | |
| For | Apr-16-2011 | |
| For | Please pass this bill to stop the the hypocrisy of turning registered medical marijuana users into criminals. | Apr-16-2011 |
| For | Apr-16-2011 | |
| For | This is small step in the right direction but full legalization would be better still. I know people who have benefited from using it, such as depression, Bi-polar and even a spinal tumor that didn't respond to chemo or radiation. Smoking is only one of several ways to take it. Some say there are "better drugs." Those may seem to be better as long as the side effects are ignored. Please pass this. As for full legalization, It's not the governments place to regulate people's personal lives. Use of this has little or not impact on others. It's a safer alternative to alcohol. | Apr-15-2011 |
| For | The way the current bill is written someone with cancer, dieing, 85 years old is suposed to learn how to grow medical marijuana, buy equipment, start a grow room, plant some seeds and pray that three months from now they have something resembling medical grade medicine. As a healthcare provider that makes absolutely no sense to me. The other option is the gangbanger on the corner can sell them some. Really?? If we are going to allow medical marijuana it would be nice to use some common sense. | Apr-15-2011 |
| For | Finally getting rid of the gray areas and giving patients safe access to medicine. Also giving the state another revenue income in the down economy. | Apr-15-2011 |
| For | We Need Safe Access To medicine!!! A hearing must happen... We will not give up on safe Access to out Medicine!!! | Apr-15-2011 |
| For | Apr-14-2011 | |
| For | I've been helping people in Northern Nevada through the process of obtaining their medical marijuana cards. The process is time consuming, costly, and once in the program, does not help any patient receive their medicine. I have moved away from helping terminal patients because it breaks my heart everytime. The simple injustice of offering someone relief but not in time to do them any good is too much for me to take. The process to be accepted in the program takes 4-6 months, then once legal it takes 4 months to grow in a grow your own state. Some people simply do not have this amount of time. It is wrong to deny people a medicine that gives them relief while still maintaining who they are as a person in the little time they have left with their loved ones. | Apr-13-2011 |

| For | Please help Nevada medical marijuana patients. Thank you. | Apr-09-2011 |
| Against | Apr-08-2011 | |
| For | We were among the first few states to adopt the Medical Marijuana initiative, but in the last few years, we have fallen behind in the progress of said law. The current provisions are simply insufficient and unreasonable for a medical marijuana patient. No other sick person requiring medication has to jump through the hoops that medical marijuana patients are forced to. So please...let's make that hoop a little bigger shall we? | Apr-07-2011 |
| For | prescription drugs often have terrible side effects, in comparison medical marijuana seems to have very little negative side effects if any. this is my observation as a legal medical marijuana patient living in the state of nevada suffering from chronic neck pain. i am not dieing or have cancer but medical marijuana makes my life better. please allow me and others like me to obtain our medicine without becoming criminals in the process. | Apr-07-2011 |

| For | This bill is a long time coming. It sucks that we have to grow our own to get our medication. One doesn't have to make their own percocet or Lortab or Neurontin so why do we have to grow our own? I for one am NOT a botonist. Please give us safe and legal access. Thank you! | Apr-02-2011 |

| Against | This is nothing more than allowing those who illegally use and sell marijuana to abuse the system even further. People who use marijuana in the privacy of their own homes, aren't the issue. it's those who abuse it and then affect those around them by the commission of other crimes while under teh influence or to support their habits. They also become a further burden on society as we have to take care of them through welfare programs or costs of medical treatment. marijuana dispensaries are something we j | Mar-30-2011 |

| For | This bill allows the citizens of Nevada to treat medical marijuana like any other prescription drug - you go to a doctor, you get a prescription, you buy the drug. If it's good enough for Codeine, Percoset, and Vicodin, it's good enough for marijuana. | Mar-24-2011 |

| For | Medical Marijuana patients in the state of Nevada NEED a bill LIKE THIS! Keep the DMV out of it and wrap all of this into existing HIPPA laws, which the state is currently violating. The only people who should know anything about my health condition(s) and what I use to treat it are me and my doctor! | Mar-24-2011 |

| For | I have seen lives turn around when the find the medical use for Marijuana. Sometimes is will replace 2 or more prescription drugs with no side effects. Cancer patients start getting good results within minutes after trying this natural substance. I am 55 years old and been around this subject for over 30 years and just pass a physical. My doctor told me that I have nice clear lungs. It is a shame how the first law past, with patients having to break the law to enjoy the benefits of this natural medicin | Mar-23-2011 |

Are we not a sovereign state? Evidently our reps. just keep piece by piece giving up their duties to the State of Nevada and its citizens. Who exactly did you swear your oath to? Vote NO on this bill and start using common sense for the people of this state & not D.C.!!! | Mar-23-2011 |

| For | Nevada needs to look at other states that are further along with their medical marijuana programs, such as Colorado. There is not a state registry program for any other prescription medications you may obtain from your doctor, so why medical marijuana? Being part of Nevada’s medical marijuana registry has added me to a database that labels me a criminal, a retired 20 year veteran of the United States Military with no history with law enforcement.

| Against | This bill will only help the people who don't have legitimate disabilities, but want to get high. There are many other regulated and predictable medications that can be prescribed for people with legitimate health needs. Please look at other states that have passed similar legislation. Marijuana users are 3 times more likely to call in sick, have 4 times the accident rate of non-users and are 5 times more likely to cause workers compensation claims.

| For | On September 6, 1988, after hearing TWO YEARS of testimony, the DEA's chief administrative law judge, Frances Young, ruled: "Marijuana, in its natural form, is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known...It would be unreasonable, arbitrary, and capricious for DEA to continue to stand between those sufferers and the benefits of this substance." That was 20 years ago!!! | Mar-15-2011 |

| For | I believe this is very important for patients who use medical cannabis especially to those who are unable to supply their own medicine due to physical impairments. | Mar-15-2011 |
| For | It is crazy that we voted for medical marijuana, then gave the patients no way to get it except grow it. Something needs to be done, so they can get it safetly | Mar-14-2011 |
| For | Eleven years ago, the people voted for a Constitutional amendment declaring cannabis a valid therapeutic option and tasked the legislature to set up an "appropriate method of supply for authorized patients". It is long past time for the legislature to fulfill the voter mandate. Supporting this bill will move the state towards compliance with Article 4, Section 38 of the Nevada Constitution.

I understand the legitimate medical marijuana patients state, they have a hard time obtaining the resources to grow their own plants.

The constant comparison to alcohol and tobacco only reaffirms how this issue has nothing to do with medicine and everything to do with legalization. The reason society has so many problems related to alcohol and tobacco is because of easy access. Why would you want to compound the problem by providing easier access to another harmful substance?

| For | For real people! Get a clue! Ditch the xanex and pass this bill! | Mar-12-2011 |
| For | This Bill is merely correcting a law that has been around for 10 years now! It needs to be passed! The use of medical marijuana should not have the stigma it does. Compare the number of deaths per year from the use of "legal" prescription drugs, to the number of deaths per year directly related to the use of marijuana. Never heard of someone over dosing on marijuana. Yes it will have an impact on Nevada, but all positive! It's a no brainer! | Mar-12-2011 |
| For | This Bill has been needed for ten years now. I support the use of medical marijuana for a wide range of ailments. Receiving compensation to provide medical marijuana only makes sense. It cannot be produced for free. The majority of people that get relief from the use of medical marijuana are not physically able to produce themselves. This bill will provide safe access for these persons as well as much needed taxable revenue for our State. | Mar-12-2011 |

| Against | Do not legalize marijuana. There are multifarious other pain relievers available. Legalizing it will make is more accessible to youth. It leads to more drug use and drug crime. It is another gateway drug. It leads to other crimes, and it is more hurtful than helpful. Please say no. | Mar-10-2011 |
| Against | I would first suggest that one takes a minute to read threw the comments made for and against the legalization of marijuana. It is very apparent as to which side has a more educated view point on the matter as well as its potential ramifications and harmful pitfalls. I work among our youth, and struggle with the notion that this is even a consideration. The bottom line is that marijuana is the number two drug of choice behind nicotine among young kids.

| Against | This bill is nothing more than a trojan horse that is supported by those that would parade around a cancer patient to make a dollar. It is an attempt to legalize the DRUG Marijuana. If you want safe access, choose Marinol. People are going to smoke weed if they want to whether it is legal or not. Do we really want to make it okay for them to do it with NO regulation. Think about our children and the future of our country. California still has a deficit so we won't make any money from this either. M | Mar-09-2011 |
| Against | This horribly written law was obviously written by a member of the leagalize drugs movement, because as it is written it will allow anyone to sell marijuana to anyone who brings in a script. There is no control no dosage protocols, nothing. Why should I be able to get unlimited marijuana for back pain, yet I have to go to a dr and a pharmacy approved by FDA and DEA to get antibiotics.

| For | To all those arguing the "slippery slope"-that we will descend into chaos if med marijuana is easier to obtain, go research WHY it is illegal in the first place! Educate yourself & you might change your mind. I think ANY meds in the arsenal should be available upon doctor's orders for those suffering debilitating, painful illness.

| Against | Take a look at how poorly this has worked in other communities such as Los Angeles and Denver. If marijuana has medicinal properties, pharmaceutical companies will develop products that are approved by the FDA to prescribe to patients. There is no legitimate reason to use marijuana as a remedy unless a patient would like to get high. | Mar-09-2011 |
| Against | This is crazy. In California, less than 5% of those using medicinal marijuana really need help for pain or for other medical needs. The remaining people just light up. With that 5% there are other meds that can help that are safe and easy to administer. In Los Angeles, there are more marijuana stores than there are Starbucks and and McDonalds.

| Against | Since when is medicinal use of any substance determined by popular vote? Take a look at the stats from CA: The average MJ patient is under the age of forty, and only 3% are suffering from debilitating or terminal conditions. And, the majority seem to need their meeds beginning on Friday afternoons, and are better by Monday AM. Go figure. | Mar-09-2011 |

| For | The people of this state saw it necessary to allow use of marijuana for certain conditions. The law as it stands now creates an undue burden on the patient. If passed, this act serves to remove the high fees collected by the state to be a registered patient, as well as clear up some vague portions of the current law. DO PASS. | Mar-07-2011 |
| Against | Nothing more than outright legalization. Even approved medications are distributed by licensed pharmacists. Marijuana is a scehdule 1 so pharmacists can't distibute it and doctors can't prescribe it. Doctors in Nevada "recommend" it for anyone that will pay the $100 fee, anyone. This bill would allow anyone to sell marijuana for profit without any oversight whatsoever. Do your homework before allowing this to happen to our state. Haven't we learned anything from California's MMJ program which is rif | Mar-07-2011 |

| Against | This bill would legalize marijuana for anyone who pays a doctor to sign a piece of paper. NRS 453A was intended to assist people suffering from the most serious and terminal diseases, but Nevada’s law is being exploited by criminals, recreational users, dealers and unethical doctors just like all the other states. Look at the program statistics. The last thing we need to do is legalize another harmful drug by further loosening the limited restrictions in place. This bill is a move in the wrong direction. | Mar-06-2011 |

| For | I think if it was easier for people to get it legally who need it for all different reasons we would have less arrests for marijuana. | Mar-05-2011 |
| For | NRS 453 has been unconstitutional for ten years. If we must grow our own, allow us to purchase our seeds and clones! | Mar-05-2011 |

| For | I am a Muscular Dystrophy patient in the state of Nevada and I benefit enormously from the use of medical marijuana. I plead whole-heartedly with the powers that be, that they approve AB235 as it provides safe access to the medicine necessary to provide me with a relatively bearable quality of life. | Mar-05-2011 |
| For | Passing this bill would improve my quality of life in so many ways I can not list them all in this small section | Mar-05-2011 |

I will not use medical marijuana UNTIL I can obtain it legally, but I believe it will help me with the horrid spasms and pain I endure. PLEASE - pass this legislation to help those of us in constant pain! Julia Hornsby | Mar-05-2011 |
