New Nevada Laws Take Effect Oct. 1October 1, 2001 More than 125 new laws take effect in Nevada today. Among these is AB453, which legalizes medical marijuana. The new medical marijuana program will be run by the state Agriculture Department; it enables people with chronic and debilitating conditions, such as AIDS and glaucoma, to use pot for pain relief. The law also makes first offense possession of an ounce of marijuana or less a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum fine of $600; the previous felony statue mandated up to four years in prison.
