Nevada is going backwards. My understanding is that once a dispensary opens in your county, you lose your ability to grow your own.

Great place to sell but terrible place to grow legal commercially! Big big big mistake!!! Underground growers have absolutely nothing to worry about until Cali legalizes!!
