The Board shall adopt such regulations as it determines to be necessary or advisable to carry out the provisions of this chapter. Such regulations are in addition to any requirements set forth in statute and must, without limitation:

1. Establish procedures pursuant to which a medical cannabis dispensary will be notified by the Board if a patient who holds a valid registry identification card or letter of approval has chosen the dispensary as his or her designated medical cannabis dispensary, as described in NRS 678C.480.

2. Establish minimum requirements for hemp, as defined in NRS 557.160, which is used by a medical cannabis production facility or dispensed by a medical cannabis dispensary.

3. Set forth the amount of usable cannabis that a medical cannabis dispensary may dispense to a person who holds a valid registry identification card, including, without limitation, a designated primary caregiver. Such an amount must not exceed the limits set forth in NRS 678C.200.

4. In cooperation with the applicable professional licensing boards, establish a system to:

(a) Register and track attending providers of health care who advise their patients that the medical use of cannabis may mitigate the symptoms or effects of the patient’s medical condition;

(b) Insofar as is possible, track and quantify the number of times an attending provider of health care described in paragraph (a) makes such an advisement; and

(c) Provide for the progressive discipline of attending providers of health care who advise the medical use of cannabis at a rate at which the Board, in consultation with the Division, and the applicable board, determine and agree to be unreasonably high.

5. Provide for the maintenance of a log by the Board, in consultation with the Division, of each person who is authorized to cultivate, grow or produce cannabis pursuant to subsection 6 of NRS 678C.200. The Board shall ensure that the contents of the log are available for verification by law enforcement personnel 24 hours a day.
