Note from the Editor and a Patient Letter – October 2016

On November 8th, Nevadans will enter the polls to vote on Question 2 which decides whether or not Nevada will become a recreational marijuana state.  This issue features articles written to show you how a passing vote will affect patients, the industry and also our state.  Please be sure to register to vote if you haven’t already done so.  

Recently, we received a letter from one our readers that I would like to take the time to address:

Dear Editor:

Thanks for addressing the “cultural misappropriation” in last month’s issue. I did cringe when I saw it.

Also been wanting to let you know it’s been awesome watching your magazine grow the past two years. It sure has changed and I look forward to every issue!

Something that bothered me for awhile: I’d been a regular and loyal customer at Euphoria Wellness, until your magazine disappeared from their lobby.  I was in there once right after something happened that caused management to throw your display rack and magazine into the trash.  It pissed me off and I told the employees at Euphoria that regardless what the problem was, the magazine is a valuable resource for patients.  When I went back two weeks later the magazine was still absent and I asked why.  They told me it was because of the problem between the magazine and one of Euphoria’s managers.

That’s when I decided to try another dispensary. After reading Rob Ruckus’ rant every month in your magazine I decided on Inyo.  And whenever I leave Inyo they always remind me to pick up a copy of Vegas Cannabis magazine!

Rob P.

We have attempted to get our free patient resource into Euphoria Wellness to no avail.  Our rack was never placed at Euphoria and we never had the opportunity to speak with management about it, we were simply informed by staff that they did not want to distribute the magazine.  We feel that ALL patients should have access to free resources.  Thank you for reading Vegas Cannabis and for taking the time to send us your thoughts.
