Raquel Wilson will never get to sing again. She'll never to dance with her father at her wedding. That's because Raquel died three weeks ago from brain cancer.

News 3 talked with Raquel last May when doctors said they couldn't help her anymore. "I just want to get better," said Raquel.

Before Raquel died, her mother Jenni Wilson, who lives in Utah crossed the state and brought Raquel to Nevada, in hopes to treat her with cannabis.

"They had legalized people to use it but not for people to dispense it so it was really hard to find information and to find good sources," said Wilson.

In Nevada lots of red tape, not just from the county or city but also from the state has caused delays. Recently two state inspectors have left their jobs. While one is hired that inspector doesn't start till next month.

Attorney Amanda Connor represents several medical marijuana clients. "They definitely have to become familiar with Nevada's regulations, specific to this industry and then they have to become familiar with the facilities," said Connor.

Another added setback for the terminally ill patients in getting the medicine they need.

"This is something that we can push through and just get the things in place that need to be there and realize that there are people suffering and people dying," said Wilson.
