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

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.)
