Hello Burners,
See below for an important message from the
Marijuana Policy Project about the evolving laws around cannabis in
Nevada and how you can prepare and participate.
The Man Burns real soon.
But cops are already hard at work aiming to burn Burners. They’re
on the hunt to bust participants caught with marijuana, saddling them
with a hefty $600 fine and a misdemeanor conviction. A judge and
prosecutor are even relocated to the playa for the week to promptly
collect fines and process paperwork on site.
But we are improving the Nevada marijuana laws! If you are a medical
marijuana patient, bring your patient ID card from your home state.
It should protect you from the Nevada state and local cops, due to a
new reciprocity law. And this year, patients from any state can now
buy marijuana in Nevada dispensaries. But since Black Rock City is
patrolled by federal rangers, who don’t follow state law, not even
patients are fully protected at the event.
We deserve better. It’s up to all of us to create a more civil
society where marijuana users aren’t targeted, harassed, and
treated like criminals.
At the Marijuana Policy Project, we’re committed to ending state and
federal marijuana prohibition. This change is possible, but
participation is key. We invite you to join us

liberty by giving a financial gift toward our efforts.
Together, we can end prohibition.
Thank you,
Rob Kampia
Executive Director

P.S. We’re also hard at work managing several ballot initiative
campaigns to tax and regulate marijuana in November 2016 in states like
Arizona, California, and Nevada. With each of these victories,
nationwide legal marijuana will be that much closer. (Please note that
donations to MPP will be used to support MPP generally; donations to MPP
cannot be earmarked for a ballot initiative. If you would like to
support a ballot initiative, please donate to that state’s
ballot campaign committee.)
