(I) For purposes of this Section and this Chapter, and as specified in LVMC 6.95.020, the terms "medical cannabis establishment" and "adult-use cannabis establishment" refer to establishments as they are separately so designated, authorized and regulated by State law. Therefore, neither term includes the other. However, even though the terms cover mutually exclusive categories, a particular person or establishment may qualify for certification or licensing under both categories and thus be governed by and subject to regulations governing each category as applicable.
