      "_questions_5_question": "field_632ae305336793",
      "questions_5_answer": "When it comes to the personal cultivation of cannabis plants, Nevada is a bit stricter than many other states where cannabis is recreationally legal. Essentially, to be permitted to grow cannabis, the individual must live more than 25 miles from the nearest dispensary.\r\n<br><br>\r\nThis is in reference to the time at which the individual begins cultivating cannabis, however. If a new dispensary opens near a person’s residence after they’ve started growing cannabis, they are permitted to continue growing.\r\n<br><br>\r\nThe number of plants a person can grow depends on whether they are a medical cannabis patient or a recreational user. For example, a medical cannabis patient is allowed to grow a maximum of 12 plants at any given time. On the other hand, a recreational user is only permitted to grow six plants—or 12 per household, if two or more people live at the residence.\r\n<br><br>\r\nIt is important that any personal cannabis cultivation occur in a secure location, one that isn’t visible to the public. This location must feature a lock or other security device.",

      "questions_6_question": "Can I Use Medical Cannabis Recreationally in Nevada?",
      "_questions_6_question": "field_632ae305336793",
      "questions_6_answer": "In any state where there is legalized medical cannabis (including Nevada), it is not acceptable to use medical cannabis recreationally. Instead, medical cannabis should only be consumed by the qualified patient that it was prescribed to, much like any other medication. It is also expected that anyone using medical cannabis will be under the active direction and care of a doctor.\r\n<br><br>\r\nKeep in mind that recreational cannabis is legal in Nevada. If you are an adult over the age of 21, you can legally purchase and consume cannabis for recreational purposes.\r\nHow Much Medical Cannabis Can I Purchase and Possess From a Nevada Dispensary?\r\nIf you are a medical cannabis cardholder in Nevada, you’re permitted to purchase up to 5 ounces of cannabis each month. However, you cannot purchase more than 2.5 ounces of cannabis within any two-week period.\r\nHow Much Recreational Cannabis Can I Buy and Possess in Nevada?\r\nAdults over the age of 21 are permitted to possess a maximum of 1 ounce of usable cannabis at any given time. They are also allowed to possess a maximum of 3.5 grams of cannabis concentrate.\r\nWhat Forms of Cannabis Are Available Through Nevada Dispensaries?\r\nNevada’s cannabis users, both recreational and medical, can choose from several forms of cannabis, including edibles, flower, concentrates, topicals, and extracts, which are all available for purchase in the state.\r\nWhat Kind of Cannabis Product Testing is Performed in Nevada?\r\nCannabis products in Nevada must be tested for myriad properties and contaminants, even though facilities aren’t required to be ISO certified (as is the case for states like California). Nevada’s cannabis testing labs will always test for:<br><br>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Potency</li>\r\n \t<li>Moisture content</li>\r\n \t<li>Terpenes</li>\r\n \t<li>Mycotoxins</li>\r\n \t<li>Foreign matter</li>\r\n \t<li>Heavy metals</li>\r\n \t<li>Pesticides and herbicides</li>\r\n \t<li>Yeast and mold</li>\r\n \t<li>Growth regulators</li>\r\n \t<li>Enterobacteriaceae</li>\r\n \t<li>Pathogenic E. coli</li>\r\n \t<li>Salmonella</li>\r\n \t<li>Four species of Aspergillus</li>\r\n</ul><br><br>\r\nNevada Gov. Steve Sisolak has even established a multiagency task force intended to crack down on corruption in the legal cannabis market. This task force is primarily focused on corruption and other illegal activity in cannabis product testing. For instance, the state has experienced issues with illegally high mold and yeast levels in cannabis products, as well as the inflation of potency levels.\r\n<br><br>\r\nTo further minimize fraud within the industry, Nevada also utilizes a round-robin testing system.",

      "_questions_11_question": "field_632ae305336793",
      "questions_11_answer": "No, it is never legal to drive after consuming cannabis; this is the case whether that cannabis was used for medical or recreational reasons. This is true for all states in the U.S. If someone is found driving under the influence of cannabis, they may be arrested on DUI charges. When this occurs, the offender will not be permitted to use their medical cannabis card as a defense. Even from the first offense (within a seven-year period), those arrested due to a cannabis DUI can face steep repercussions. This includes a fine of between $400 and $1,000, as well as between 48- and 96-hours’ worth of community service. Additionally, they may be required to participate in an educational course centered around the dangers of alcohol and controlled substance abuse. The offender will be required to pay for this course, as well. With each cannabis DUI offense, the penalties and charges become more severe.",
