(b) Residents who choose to engage in the adult use of cannabis may also obtain adult-use cannabis in a safe and efficient manner;

(d) Cannabis licenses and registration cards are issued in a fair and equitable manner with a commitment to the consideration of social equity;
(e) The holders of cannabis licenses and registration cards are representative of their communities;
(f) Nevada seeks to emulate other privileged industries that are licensed and strictly regulated insofar as those industries are similar to or the approaches used in those industries are compatible with the cannabis industry in this State; and

4. Public confidence and trust can only be maintained by strict but fair and equitable regulation of all persons, locations, practices, associations and activities related to the operation of cannabis establishments.
5. All cannabis establishments and cannabis establishment agents must be licensed, controlled and assisted to protect the public health, safety, morals, good order and general welfare of the inhabitants of the State, to foster the stability and success of the cannabis industry and to preserve the competitive economy and policies of free competition of the State of Nevada.
