If question two passes on Election Day, don't think you'll be able to light up right away. Marijuana possession won't be legal for a few months, and it will be even longer before the sale of marijuana is legal.

"The drafters of the legislation were very careful about how this will roll out," said Holly Welborn, Policy Director at the ACLU of Nevada.

Possession of an ounce of less of marijuana or 1/8th of an ounce or less of marijuana concentrate will be legal on January 1, 2017. The question remains where users will get their marijuana. The first dispensaries will not open until eighteen months after the legalization of possession.

"The initiative gives the department of taxation come to a year to come up with the regulations for enforcing the new marijuana laws," said Welborn.

A year regulation period plus a six-month application period means the first recreational shop won't open until July 2018 at the earliest. Even at that point, the law says it can only be a convert from a medical marijuana dispensary.

"These are experienced dispensaries. They know what they are doing with this product, they know how to test this product. So it is the best place to start a retail market with people who have been working with the product for years now," said Welborn.

Someone hoping to open a marijuana dispensary from scratch will have to wait even longer. The application for non-medical providers doesn't open until July 1, 2019. Even at that point it would be difficult because the law only allows for only 20 recreational shops total in Washoe County. If the 13 medical shops already here decided to go recreational, there will only be seven spots left for newcomers.

Only people 21 years and older will be allowed to use marijuana. The use of marijuana will only be allowed within the privacy of a user’s home.
