Nevada voters approved the state’s medical marijuana program in 2000, and when the time came to regulate medical marijuana dispensaries in 2014, Commissioner Jung sponsored and championed the bill that implemented the codes and ordinances to accommodate medical cannabis businesses in the county.
Washoe County was the first municipality in Nevada to adopt medical cannabis regulations, and Commissioner Jung is proud of her pioneering regulatory work and spoke with Brian Bahouth.
